As played, from 21 to 23 celebrate the autumn equinox.
If any of you do this very place, we recommend that our first article on the subject. The Mabon
Here is a listing of Laskaponia that we like, to be in even more in the subject and the purpose of forever: understanding the nature and that nature itself is the way forward.
Apples: Fruit token 1 to the autumn equinox. Season, very representative and versatile actor makes as much as in desserts, side dishes and beverages and decoration. It must be said that once the block was chosen as an offering to the ancestors. This year we
Apfelstrudel!
Grenades: Not only is the station which is itself but also fertility and healthy uterus of the mother. It relates more strongly with the myth of Demeter / Ceres and her daughter Persephone (note Demeter / Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and the productive land in general.
Corn: More Hollywood but also very representative. American culture is much more widespread than in Europe and is very traditional dishes prepared with this ingredient to celebrate the equinox. Thus a day of thanksgiving, for example.
Pan: The basics the oldest and most important. Grain, bread, and bread of life. In old Europe is the making bread as a staple, not only wheat and no white bread only sad that we are too accustomed. On these dates is recommended even exploit the benefits of the land and make their own bread and delicious blends such as rye, corn etc.
(look, it is my crib) Mushrooms: A healthy habit of a lifetime has been out on the field to pick mushrooms. Mushrooms are the ultimate product of the season. Only available at this time, are a delicacy, nutritious and versatile. If one at this time he was given a basket of mushrooms, know that is something that is priceless.
(you can try to give me one to me, I will spend my address)
Watch and learn! root plants such as onions, potatoes, carrots and onions, ground food, hot and representing soil fertility and Mother Earth. Thanks to them we made a number of dishes without whom nothing would be the same. They are all good ideas to abuse at the banquet of Mabon.
Wine: We are in the month of the grape, vintage and wine. Since ancient times were held in all cultures at this time of great wine-related events. From ancient times to honor the god Dionysus / Bacchus until today with the harvest festival we all know. The grapes, must and wine should not miss in your celebration.
Beer: Sister of bread, and of the same nature. Beer is the drink of the gods (and the gods are not stupid) is a key basic drink from its origins in ancient Europe. Evolved from the very old "soup" of modern fermented bread which hops are added. The intelligent reason why the beer was brewed was none other than "bread drink".
and we will do.
baskets, cornucopias: The symbol of abundance, harvest, also representative of the mid summer festival Lughnassadh. The basket of seasonal produce is common to any time of year but especially at Mabon, for it is the last crop year (cereal) and So the most important for winter. Sure
decorate your table with a cornucopia or basket fragrant natural, your home will make you feel more alive and connected to mother earth.
Scarecrow:
The guardian of the harvest is not only useful for the farmer, is also a "character" with a strong symbolism. Made of straw and branches
formerly represented also the spirit of the soil, earth, present in food. Who would not love to see a scarecrow on the road? The final beam
:
In the Celts, and ancient cultures in general, the last beam cereal year was more than important. The Celts were careful that last beam is retained as a doll or braid to symbolize the spirit of the land, soil (fertile mother) to keep until next year.
Hart:
If the lion is the king of the jungle the deer is the lord of the forest.
At this time, the hunting season starts (we like to laskapones or not) and the deer is symbolic in that aspect. By God, in Neopaganism is depicted with horns of deer (with reference to Cernunnos the Celtic god of the forest and wild animals)
And at this point, we wish have a nice celebration, and ultimately, a happy equinox.
