In "The Spiral Dance" Starhawk speaks of Mabon: This is the time of harvest, of thanksgiving and joy, of leave taking and sorrow. Now day and night are equal, in perfect balance, and we give thought to the balance and flow within our own lives. The Sun King has become the Lord of Shadows, sailing West: we follow Him into the dark. Life declines; the season of barreness is on us, yet we give thanks for that which we have reaped and gathered. We meet to turn the Wheel and weave the cord of life that will sustain us through the dark.

A Balanced Ritual
This is a ritual about balance, a ritual about understanding balance, about where we find it in our lives, and where it is missing. And of course, if it is missing, what might we want to do about that. We hope to do all of these including finding a plan of action.

"A Witch's Yule Carol"
At this time do we know the dark of the year.
The season of life is past, and all is cold.
Emptiness and bleakness are all about.
Let us now give honor to the Triple Goddess
That the season may be made better
Through the birth of the Divine Child,
The Golden Newborn Solstice Sun.

Through guided meditation, gifting and dancing this ritual will take us on a journey from the winter holidays of the past through the present and from there into a future of our own creation.
