Mabon Apple Magick and Virgo Season Sangria
Welcome to Autumnal Equinox and Virgo season! Mabon is considered the Pagan's Thanksgiving and a time for feasting on all that summer has provided. Virgo is a lovable go-getter perfectionist who represents fertility of work, spirit, and Earth. Learn all about this magickal time of year, as well as the powerful properties of apple magick. (And get a warning about love spells!)
The Virgin Mary (aka the mascot of Virgo) is also considered the Mother of Nature, embodying mineral, plant, animal, and human kingdoms. It's the perfect time to celebrate Mama Earth and her many treasures. Both Virgo and Mabon are all about abundance of the harvest, with emphasis on health and nutrition. Treat your body like a temple, and treat your temple to this fruitful cocktail to celebrate the end of summer, as well as the fertile mind, heart, and spirit of Virgo.
