Every year, around the 22nd of September, something shifts. The light changes. The air changes. Something in you notices — even if you don't have a name for it.

Our ancestors had a name for it. They called it Mabon — the autumn equinox, the second harvest, the moment when day and night are exactly equal before the darkness begins to win.

And they built an entire way of living around it.

In this video we explore what Mabon actually is — the history, the mythology, the traditions across Celtic, Roman, Germanic and Slavic cultures — and then we get practical: what does the wisdom of the autumn equinox look like in a real, busy, modern life?
