- Invitation to the Goddess:
You who make the fruit ripen on the tree,
Now that your work is done
And the time of harvest is upon us,
I invite you to celebrate Mabon with me.�- Invitation to the God:
You who make the grapes ripen on the vine,
Now that your work is done
And the time of harvest is upon us,
I invite you to celebrate Mabon with me.�- Statement of Purpose:
�Today, we celebrate the harvest of the fruit, the time when we reap the rewards of all the hard work we�ve done throughout the spring and summer. At this time of perfect balance between day and night, I ask that balance be granted in my life. As the darkness overtakes the light, I will turn inward, searching within my soul for the seeds I wish to plant when the light once again conquers the darkness.�- Offering to the Goddess:
�Pomona, Lady of the Apples,
I offer to you now this fruit
Over which you have toiled
From seed to fruition.
As you partake of its essence,
I ask that you bring sweetness to my life.�- Offering to the God:
�Bacchus, Lord of the Vine,
I offer to you now these grapes
Over which you have toiled
From seed to fruition.
As you partake of its essence,
I ask that you bring sweetness to my life.�- Meditation

Go if you must; stay if you like.
