TeaDidikai PinkFluffyButterflies Since next Tuseday will be Mabon, and thus the start of fall, I was wondering how everyone here celebrates? Since I'm not Norse, I don't celebrate Mabon. Quote: I cut three apples before drowning them in honey and carmel, we offered them to the god and goddess. Which god and goddess? Confusion. I thought Mabon was Welsh?

I don't celebrate Mabon, regardless of where it comes from. smile I do, however, have some traditions that come about with the start of fall.
We get out old photos of our ancestors (some are very old, so we don't like to keep them out all the time), and put them out on display. We keep a candle with them, a plate, and this year I've added a glass of water.
Also, this year, I made a doll of the god Jarilo, who passes with the coming of fall. I buried him in a special place and sung for him.
Near the end of October, there are a couple of feast days, for our ancestors. The plate I mentioned before is filled during those dinners generously, and the food is later burned. On the last day of October, I'll make a wreath and get some things ready, and on November 1st I'll take them to my grandparents' grave, clean it up, and decorate it for the winter.
Some of this is cultural tradition, some of it is not.

Celeblin Galadeneryn TeaDidikai PinkFluffyButterflies Since next Tuseday will be Mabon, and thus the start of fall, I was wondering how everyone here celebrates?

I thought Mabon was Welsh? D'oh. You're right. I screwed the pooch on that one.
I thought it was Norse because I was told the solar festivals in generic neo-paganism lifted from Norse sources. A quick crosscheck shows you're right. My bad.

AniMajor Even if I celebrated Mabon, I doubt I would do much for it. Holidays and celebrations, to me, always involve family gatherings. If there's no family gathering, then the holiday loses all meaning. Since no one else in my family is anywhere near pagan, it would just be empty rituals to me. Thanksgiving, though, is a pretty big deal. Halloween used to be when I was younger, too. I can understand that. We have some walnut trees here, I think I'll end up making some dye and working with eggs. I have a project in the works, so it could be helpful to do a bit of art.

There are some cultural foods, like halushky (potato and flour dumplings), and pirohy that I like to make. This year, I'm working on my medovniky recipe - honey cakes. They're a Christmas thing, but since I'm looking to perfect my repertoire of cakes, kolache, and breads, those are definitely going to be on the menu. Other than culturally relevant foods, I'm of the opinion that my ancestors would appreciate foods they liked in life, unless they show otherwise.
I as well have a walnut tree nearby. I really need to start learning how to make pisanky (we usually call them kraslice?) in detail. My immediate family never made them
PinkFluffyButterflies Though given the time of year it would probably be Mother Goddess and Aging God.
I find the surface parallels between my mythology and eclectic neopaganism... well, I'm not sure how I feel about it actually. It's a little interesting though. sweatdrop

There's a buckwheat pan bread... are you familiar with it?
