Eleusinian Mysteries This Athenian religious festival was held in honor of the grain

and fertility goddess Demeter, her name is purely Greek,

meaning "spelt mother" (spelt is a hardy variety of wheat.) The

cult held this important festival at the town of Eleusis, 15 miles

northwest of Athens, in the heart of the wheat and barley growing

region. Each year, when it was time for the crops to be sown, in

the month of Boedromion (September), this was the time of year

for the Mysteries to be held. It all stems from the myth of

Demeter and Persephone, when Hades, took Persephone (Kore

-"maiden") down into the underworld. Demeter searched the

world looking for her daughter, and while she searched Demeter

neglected her duties and let the earth go barren. The gods were

worried and Zeus, who had witnessed the abduction, intervened.

Before she went back to the world of the living, Hades gave

Persephone a pomegranate to eat, thus she would always be

connected to his realm and had to stay there one-third of the year.

This symbolic death and rebirth is the time the seed lies in the

earth and then comes to life, reborn, as was Persephone. This

was the basis of the cult, a fulfilling and happy afterlife.

The ceremony began in Athens, and all those participating

purified themselves by bathing in the sea, they also sacrificed a

piglet. All sacred and secret objects that were to be used in the

ceremonies, were kept in the Eleusinion (a temple located at the

foot of the Acropolis in Athens). These objects had been brought

from Eleusis some days prior to the start of the celebration. It

was from the Kerameikos (the ancient cemetery of Athens) that

the great procession of initiates started. The "Mysteries" were

given this name (in Greek musteriai, from mustes, ("an

initiate"). As the procession proceeded on route to Eleusis the

participants would, at a certain place, shout obscenities. This was

a re-enactment of an old mythical woman called "Iambe" who

was said to have made Demeter smile, at a time when she was full

of sorrow for the loss of her daughter Persephone. Also during

the procession their would be shouts of Iakch' o Iakche, which

was related to an equivocal deity, referring to "Iacchus" who was

identified with Dionysus, but in some versions said to be the son

of Persephone or Demeter.

When the procession reached Eleusis they would rest and make

ready for the next day, which was a day of fasting (Demeter did

this when in mourning for Persephone). Once this part of the

ceremony was over, the initiates drank a special brew of barley

water mixed with penny-royal called, kykeon (a creeping mint

cultivated for its supposed medicinal properties). The climax of

the ceremony took place in the "Telesterion" (initiation hall).

During the 5th century BCE, "Ictinos" designed a huge hall

which would hold several thousand people. In this hall, the secret

and sacred objects were shown to the initiated, and also the

priestesses would reveal the vision of the holy night, which is

thought to have been a fire symbolizing life after death. These

rituals were kept secret, shown only to the initiated, and it was

totally forbidden to speak of them publicly.

In the Hellenistic age (300-150 BCE), the cult was taken over

and run by the state, and two aristocratic families from Eleusis

officiated (the Eumolpidae and Kerykes). In this age, mystery

cults were becoming very popular, unlike classical Greece (400s

BCE) when the Eleusinian mysteries were a rare form of

worship. The annual Eleusinian mysteries attracted thousands of

people from all over the Greek world, and the only initial

requirement to become a mystes (initiate) was to be without blood

guilt nor a barbarian ( in other words, if you spoke Greek). It

was open to both men and women, and remarkably, slaves were

also allowed into the cult. The mysteries existed from Mycenaean

times (circa 1600-1200 BCE), thought to have been established

in the 1500s BCE and held annually for two thousand years.

The Roman emperor Theodosius closed the sanctuary in CE

392, and finally it was abandoned when Alaric, king of the Goths,

invaded Greece in CE 396. This brought Christianity to the

region, and all cult worship was forbidden.

the Wicker-Man, the Corn Man, Thoth(Egyptian), Hermes,

Hotei(Japanese), Thor, Dionysus(Roman), Bacchus(Greek)

and all wine Deities.

Activities

Customs: offerings to land, preparing for cold weather by

bringing in harvest, cutting willow wands( Druidic), leaving

apples upon burial cairns & graves as a token of honor, walks in

forests, gather seed pods & dried plants, fermenting grapes to

make wine,picking ripe produce, stalk bundling

Spellworkings of Mabon: Protection, prosperity, security, and

self- confidence. Also those of harmony and balance. Taboos:It

was considered unlucky to cut down the very last of the Harvest,

and so was also left to stand in the field by some traditions.

Activities of Mabon: Select the best of each vegetable, herb, fruit,

nut, and other food you have harvested or purchased and give it

back to Mother Earth with prayers of thanksgiving. Hang dried

ears of corn around your home in appreciation of the harvest

season. Do meditations and chanting as you store away food for

the Winter. Do a thanksgiving circle, offering thanks as you face

each direction - - for home, finances, and physical health (North);

for gifts of knowledge (East); for accomplishments in career and

hobbies (South); for relationships (West); and for spiritual

insights and messages (Center). Decorate the table with colorful

autumn leaves in a basket. Display the fruits of the harvest -

corn, gourds, nuts, grapes, apples - preferably in a cornucopia.

Or decorate with wildflowers, acorns, nuts, berries, cocoons,

anything that represents the harvest to you. Like its sister

equinox, halfway across the Wheel of the Year, the Autumn

Equinox is a good occasion for a ritual feast. Plan a meal that

uses seasonal and symbolic fruits and vegetables. You can serve

bread, squash, corn, apples, cider and wine. Make some

homemade wine or cordial gather and dry herbs, plants, seeds and

seed pods. Make grapevine wreaths using dried bitter-sweet herb

for protection. Use ribbons of gold and yellow to bring in the

energy of the Sun, and decorate with sprigs of dried yarrowor

cinnamon sticks. Make a protection charm of hazelnuts (filberts)

strung on red thread. Make a witch's broom. Tie dried corn

husks or herbs (broom, cedar, fennel, lavender, peppermint,

rosemary) around a strong, relatively straight branch of your

choice. Make magic Apple Dolls Gifts of the Harvest can be used

to make tools and emblems that will remind us of their bounty all

year round. Look for colored leaves. Collect fallen leaves and

make a centerpiece or bouquet for your home. Save the leaves to

burn in your Yule fire. Vist an apple orchard and, if possible,

pick your own apples. Hang apples on a tree near your home.

Watch the birds and other small animals who will enjoy your gift.

This is also the time for replacing your old broom with a new one.

As the broom corn is ripe now, besom making is traditional and

magickal this time of year. Begin the festival with a vineyard or

orchard harvest. You might check the farm lands in your area to

see if there's an orchard or pumpkin patch that allows customers

to harvest produce for themselves. Traditionally Sabbat festivals

begin at sun set on the eve of the Holiday. You can use the

daytime hours of this holiday eve to prepare baskets for harvesting

the next day. Baking a pumpkin pie (from scratch if possible) is a

wonderful way to bring in the fragrance of the holiday season.

Mabon and Maybon ritual

2nd Harvest, September 21st Mabon,

(pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-

bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the

day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our

respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the

waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops.

The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the

The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to

trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are

appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as

she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he

prepares for death and re-birth.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The

Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon,

Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or

Cornucopia. The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a

period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter's Night,

which is the Norse New Year.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine

and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of

family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at

Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a

period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

Symbolism of Mabon: Second Harvest, the Mysteries, Equality

and Balance.

Symbols of Mabon: wine, gourds, pine cones, acorns, grains,

corn, apples, pomegranates, vines such as ivy, dried seeds, and

horns of plenty.

Herbs of Maybon: Acorn, benzoin, ferns, grains, honeysuckle,

marigold, milkweed, myrrh, passionflower, rose, sage, solomon's

seal, tobacco, thistle, and vegetables.

vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions.

Activities of Mabon: Making wine, gathering dried herbs, plants,

seeds and seed pods, walking in the woods, scattering offerings in

harvested fields, offering libations to trees, adorning burial sites

with leaves, acorns, and pine cones to honor those who have

passed over.

self-confidence. Also those of harmony and balance.

Deities of Mabon: Goddesses-Modron, Morgan, Epona,

Persephone, Pamona and the Muses. Gods-Mabon, Thoth,

Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man.

Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to

honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of

balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our

personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens,

working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the

hussle-bussle of everyday life. May your Mabon be memorable,

and your hearts and spirits be filled to overflowing!

Mabon Ritual

Tools:In addition to your magickal tools you will need:

A Red Alter Cloth

A Wicker Basket

A Red Apple

Assorted Fruits and Vegetables of the Second Harvest

(Berries, Squash, Corn, etc)

A Bell

A Fallen Tree Branch

A Bolline

A Sprig or Two of Ivy

An Autumn Blend Incense

Any other Personal items of choice

Preparation: Sweep area, moving in a deosil (clockwise)

manner. Outline your Circle with a red cord, low vibration

stones, or various Harvest items such as wheat, corn, beans, etc.

Set up your alter and place the red alter cloth over it. At center

top, place the wicker basket, filled with the assorted fruit and

vegetables. Place the apple and the bolline on your Pentacle or a

plate. Place the tree branch to the right of the basket. Place the

rest of your tools and props according to your personal preference.

Take a shower or bath for purity. Sit quietly and meditate to

ground and center. When you are ready, begin by playing some

soothing music associated with the Sabbat and your ritual.

Cast the Circle and call Quarters.....Pick up your Wand in your

right hand, face your alter, and with arms stretched out above your

head, say:

"I honor Thee, Autumn Queen, and Thy consort, the God of the

Harvest.

The Wheel has once more turned, and the change of season

begins.

What will be is. What was will be.

The Equinox is upon us, and the time to reflect, at hand.

All time comes together, here and now in this sacred space.

And I, but a moment in time, feel the change as I pass

From one season to the next.

The Second Harvest has been reaped, and the time of rest is

deserved.

Go now My Mother and slumber.

Go now My Father and dream of re-birth.

I shall be here to greet Thee on Your return."

With arms still out-stretched lower your head and close your

eyes. Contemplate what you have just spoken. When ready, open

your eyes and lower your arms. Pick up the apple and place it in

the center of the Pentacle/plate. Cut it crosswise with the

Bolline, to reveal the natural pentagram at it's core. Then lift half

the apple, pentagram up, as if in offering, while saying:

"As the Wheel turns, the seasons pass, and the years give 'way

To the next,

Guide me most Wise Ones,Lest I forget

Every beginning has an ending

And every ending is a new beginning."

Take a bite of the apple. Put the rest aside to share later with the

wildlife. Pick up the tree branch and shake once at each direction,

starting with North, saying:

"As the days grow colder, and the nights last longer,

May I remember the summer past.

With sunlight fading, and hearth inviting,

My memories will warm my soul. F

rom a season of hard work and hard play,

I hear Mother's voice calling me forward.

While I rest, shall She lull me, with songs of a dream,

As close to Her bosom I cling."

Face the alter and hold the branch out in front of you with both

hands, saying:

"With memories of the summer, least I never forget,

And aspirings for the colder months to come,

Least I never stop striving,

I honor Thee with this symbol of Nature,

Keeping it and Thee in my home and heart,

That I may see it and pause,

To reflect on the Ancient Mysteries,

Leading me to a better understanding of myself,

And of others, and all that is Life."

Put the tree branch on the alter, into the basket of fruit so that it

sticks out, back in your direction. Contemplate on the various

memory symbols that you have attached to it. Also contemplate on

the various projects for autumn and winter that you have attached

to it. Close your eyes and feel the seasons pass within the circle

from summer to autumn. When ready, say:

"Between the worlds I stand in this sacred place.

All time is here and now.

As I leave this circle, the season shall have changed,

And I will have changed with it.

May I use the short time of Winter Finding

To draw the strength and power from within

As I quest for vision, understanding, and peace."

Pick up the sprig(s) of ivy, and wrap around your arms, from the

elbow to the wrist. Pick up the Bell with your right hand, and

ring thrice, to toll the passing of the first 3 seasons of the year.

Now place it in your left hand and ring once to usher in the 4th

and last season of the year. Place the bell on the alter and the ivy

in your cauldron (for burning later).

"In Life is Death, and in Death is Life.

The Sacred Dance goes on and on

From whence we came, we shall return,

And come again.Seasons pass, and pass again,

The circle stays unbroken

Heed the words of your child, here,

Through Your wisdom I have spoken."

It is now time for meditation and spellworking. Associated

spellworkings would include those for protection, wealth, security,

and self-confidence. If there is no spellworking, celebrate with

Cakes and Ale, then release the Circle. Clean up. You are done.

Find an appropriate place in your home to display the decorated

tree branch.

*Find a fallen tree branch. It need not be a large one, for it will

adorn your alter, then go on display in your home. The more

smaller offshoots from the main branch, the better. Mine has four,

which I think is awesome! Next, take a couple of pine cones,

small shells, dried flowers, or any other item that reminds you of

the late spring-summer months. With some string, tie each to the

offshoots. Also take yarn or ribbon of yellows, oranges, reds, and

gold and tie one end to the offshoots. Then, on very thin strips of

(colored) paper, write down some projects to work on during the

upcoming ' dark ' months. Wrap these around the offshoots (like

little cocoons) and tie closed with silver thread. These you will

open over the next couple of months when you start feeling

lethargic or without a sense of direction. I tie on a couple of small

bells, to add some ambiance to my ritual...

Wolf Facts

Did you know these Wolf Facts?

Loss of habitat and persecution by Humans are leading factors in the

Wolves "Endangered Species Status". This protection had been

removed in Montana and Idaho in 2009 but reinstated in August of

2010.

Wolves lost the protection of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in

Idaho and Montana in 2009 but Federal protection was reinstated in

August of 2010.

In 2009 hunting of Wolves during specified seasons and in certain areas

is now legal in Idaho and Montana. This is unprecedented in the history

of the ESA.

The weight of the North American Wolf can be as little as 40 pounds or

as large as 175 pounds.

The length of the North American Wolf varies between 4'6" and 6'6"

from muzzle to tip of tail.

The height of an average Wolf is between 26 and 32 inches at the

shoulder.

Wolves have large feet, the average being 4 inches wide by 5 inches long.

Wolves can live up to 13 years in the wild but the average is only 6 to 8

years.

Wolves in captivity have been known to live up to 16 years.

Wolves have 42 teeth.

Wolves breed once a year, December through March, depending on

latitude, the gestation period is 63 days.

Wolf pups are born in northern climates as late as early June and in

southern climates as early as late February

The average litter size is 4 to 6 cubs.

The cubs weigh approximately one pound at birth and cannot see or hear.

Fur color varies from gray, tan and brown to pure white or black.

Packs can have as little as 2 members or as many as 30 members.

Average Pack size is 6 to 8.

Pack Territories vary with location. In the Alaskan or Canadian

Wilderness the territory for one pack ranges from 300 to 1,000 square

miles while in the continental U.S. the territory is between 25 and 150

square miles.

A Wolf in a hurry can go as fast as 35 miles per hour for short distances.

The Wolves' diet of choice consists of deer, moose, caribou, elk, bison,

musk-oxen and beaver. They have been know to survive on voles and mice

if need be.

The White Tail Deer

White-tailed deer, the smallest members of the North American deer

family, are found from southern Canada to South America. In the heat of

summer they typically inhabit fields and meadows using clumps of broad-

leaved and coniferous forests for shade. During the winter they generally

keep to forests, preferring coniferous stands that provide shelter from the

harsh elements.

Adult white-tails have reddish-brown coats in summer which fade to a

duller grayish-brown in winter. Male deer, called bucks, are easily

recognizable in the summer and fall by their prominent set of antlers,

which are grown annually and fall off in the winter. Only the bucks grow

antlers, which bear a number of tines, or sharp points. During the mating

season, also called the rut, bucks fight over territory by using their antlers

in sparring matches.

Female deer, called does, give birth to one to three young at a time,

usually in May or June and after a gestation period of seven months.

Young deer, called fawns, wear a reddish-brown coat with white spots

that helps them blend in with the forest.

White-tailed deer are herbivores, leisurely grazing on most available

plant foods. Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including

leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and

other fungi. Occasionally venturing out in the daylight hours, white-tailed

deer are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, browsing mainly at dawn and

dusk.

In the wild, white-tails, particularly the young, are preyed upon by

bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes. They use speed and agility to

outrun predators, sprinting up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) per hour and

leaping as high as 10 feet (3 meters) and as far as 30 feet (9 meters) in a

single bound.

Although previously depleted by unrestricted hunting in the United

States, strict game-management measures have helped restore the white-

tailed deer population.

From The Faery Oracle

If you are faced with duties right now, or boring, oppressive things you

just don't want to do but are obliged to, this card recommends taking a

lighthearted approach. A merry heart makes light work and all that!But

seriously, if you do make the conscious decision to do whatever it is you

have to do with joy, zest and vavavoom, the whole energy of the

undertaking changes and becomes lighter; everyone involved feels the

difference and is affected positively by it.

A collective of Pixies is all about taking pride and joy in whatever you do,

no matter how seemingly dull or tiresome or "small" the task may appear

on the surface. Everything that you do is important, and the way that you

do it is even more important. Joining forces with others is always a good

idea to make these things easier to deal with, so seek co-operation from

those who might be able to help...or just ask the faeries for their help...you

might be surprised how things turn out!

Pixies are a type of fae, they remind us all of the magick all round us if

we open our eyes and hearts . Take also some time to breathe in life's

magick

The Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon are special because,

around the time of these full moons, the time difference between

moonrise on successive evenings is much shorter than average.

The moon rises approximately 30 minutes later from one night to

the next, as seen from about 40 degrees N. or S. latitude. Thus,

there is no long period of darkness between sunset and moonrise

for several days following the actual date of the full moon. In

times past this feature of these autumn moons was said to help

farmers working to bring in their crops, or in the case of the

Hunter's Moon, hunters tracking their prey. They could continue

being productive by moonlight even after the sun had set. Hence

the name Harvest Moon.

The reason for the shorter-than-usual rising time between

successive moonrises around the time of the Harvest- and

Hunter's-Moon is that the plane of moon's orbit around the earth

makes a narrow angle with respect to the horizon in the evening in

autumn.

The Harvest Full Moon is Sept 29th, and comes to us in Pisces.

The Pisces zodiacal sign is mysterious and obscure. They are

characterized by self, sacrifice, mysticism, compassion, idealism,

vulnerability, sacrifice, spiritual apathy.

When the Moon is in Pisces, emotions prevail over rational

thinking. Sensitivity and inclination to fantasy can oppose the

common sense. You become dreamers and search for solitude.In

this time it's difficult to concentrate, there is a possibility of

calculation mistake, emotions and feelings have an unfavorable

influence upon work-efficiency.Indulge yourself in music,

painting, poetry, read an interesting book. Take care of your

inner peace and avoid communal activities.

The influence of this sign is often characterized with a feeling of

deep and indescribable sadness, and this feeling helps poets and

composers to create.The danger of fungal and viral diseases

increases. Avoid alcohol beverages, stagnant and suspicious

foods, strong medicines.
