MABON: SEPTEMBER 22nd
The Fall/Autumnal Equinox, also known as Mabon, represents the midpoint between the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice, when the days and nights are again at equal lengths. After this day, the nights will stretch longer, exceeding the daylight hours. Fall provides such a feast for the senses: the smell of burning leaves, the sweet chill of cooling nights, the spice of Thanksgiving-time sweets, the rich tapestry of color inherent in the trees and harvest vegetables, and above all the transformation of nature’s green into the reds, golds, oranges, siennas, and browns of autumn. It is a time for harvesting, a time for giving thanks for all the blessings that we have, and for honoring the changing seasons. It is time of plenty and of sharing our abundance with others. It is also traditionally a time of balance. In Latin, equinox means “equal night,” and it calls us to remember that even nature spends the majority of its time seeking balance - making this a good time for rest and taking care of ourselves. 
 
Apples are a quintessential harvest fruit, and their cyclical nature mirrors themes of balance, transition, and the turning of the Wheel of the Year. The apple figures significantly in many sacred traditions. It is a symbol for life and immortality, for healing, renewal, regeneration and wholeness. It is associated with beauty, long life and restored youth. For a little extra Mabon Magick, cut an apple lengthwise (instead of crosswise), to reveal the 5 pointed star! The points relate to the 5 natural elements (earth, air, fire, water, and aether/the divine), and the 4 cardinal directions (E/W/N/S) plus Spirit/Self. 
 
Our Mabon Magick bars showcase our #utilitarianart approach to soap design! Soap artistry can be a challenging media at times. Even seasoned soapmakers will agree that intended results are never a certainty, and until the finished soap is cut into bars, you really don't know if your design was successful. Our Mabon Magick bars didn't exactly turn out the way we planned, but with a bit of creativity and ingenuity (and a dose of magick!), we transformed the face of these bars into a vision of autumn glory! Mabon Magick depicts an apple tree ripe with red apples clinging to the branches and a few falling apples and yellow leaves drifting slowly in the autumn breeze.  The crisp, invigorating scent of fir and juniper waft along that breeze, while a heart of juicy, ripe apple and zesty mandarin offer an uplifting seasonal freshness.  It's one of our most popular scents and the perfect autumn aromatic palette.
 
PLEASE NOTE that the painted on trees will dissolve quickly upon use as they are surface level only. You may wish to rinse them away before using, particularly if you have a light-colored washcloth, as they have a heavier colorant load than the rest of the bar.

Handcrafted soap will continue to evaporate water and lose weight over time. This makes for a finer, harder, and longer lasting bar.
