🍎 MABON – When Light and Darkness Meet | Autumn Equinox Pagan Folk Song

The harvest is gathered, autumn colors the land, and for one brief moment, light and darkness stand in balance. MABON – When Light and Darkness Meet is a warm and reflective pagan folk song inspired by the autumn equinox and the modern celebration of Mabon in the Wheel of the Year. Apples and grapes fill the baskets, bread rests upon the table, and the days of summer begin to fade. This is a time to celebrate abundance, give thanks for what has been gathered and prepare for the darker half of the year. 🍎 LYRICS Verse 1 Autumn settles on the valley, Leaves are turning red and gold. Apples ripen in the orchard, Evening air is growing cold. Baskets fill with grain and berries, Vines are heavy with their fruit. All that grew beneath the summer Now returns to hand and root. Chorus Mabon, light and darkness meet, Day and night in balance greet. Raise the cup and share the bread, Give our thanks for days now fled. Mabon, turn the wheel once more, Gather what the earth has borne. Golden fields and autumn skies, Summer fades and winter lies. Verse 2 Candles glow upon the table, Harvest gathered all around. Share the fruit and share the blessing, Give our gratitude to ground. Now the nights are growing longer, Geese are calling as they fly. Still we carry summer's bounty As the darker days draw nigh. Chorus Mabon, light and darkness meet, Day and night in balance greet. Raise the cup and share the bread, Give our thanks for days now fled. Mabon, turn the wheel once more, Gather what the earth has borne. Golden fields and autumn skies, Summer fades and winter lies. Bridge Equal darkness, equal light, Standing balanced for one night. What we've gathered, now we share, For the colder days prepare. Final Chorus Mabon, light and darkness meet, Day and night in balance greet. Raise the cup and share the bread, Give our thanks for days ahead. Mabon, turn the wheel once more, Gather what the earth has borne. Autumn calls beneath the sky, And the wheel keeps turning by. 🍂 About Mabon Mabon is the name widely used in modern pagan traditions for celebrations surrounding the autumn equinox, when day and night are approximately equal in length.
