Mabon is celebrated in the northern hemisphere same time as the Autumn Equinox and this year that is September 22. We are going to create beautiful bundles of dried herb for decoration in celebration of Mabon (Harvest home, Thanksgiving, Autumn Equinox). In this swap we will gather and bundle wheat, rye or oat, or long dried grasses. We will then add other dried ornamentation such as dried flowers, pods, willow twigs, pine cone, acorn, etc. Once gathered, secure in center with a bow of pretty ribbon We are making small decorative bundles...."stalk bundlings" if you will. Make it pretty.....maybe add some dried lavender or cinnamon sticks to give it a lovely sent......use a pretty ribbon for that bow. Create something you would want to receive.
