About this episode
September Witchcraft - Harvest Moon, Mabon, Heather & The White Hare In this episode, I’m stepping into the autumn magic of September — a time of gathering, gratitude and transition. We begin with the Harvest Full Moon , exploring its folklore and how you can weave its abundant energy into your craft. I dive into the lore of Heather — a plant long tied to luck, protection, and threshold spaces — and share its magical properties for spellwork and ritual. We celebrate Mabon , the autumn equinox, a sabbat of balance, harvest, and honouring the turning of the wheel. To close I read the folk tale of The White Hare — a story from Dorset legend filled with mystery and enchantment. Plus, I review The Cornish Witch by Elena Collins — a time-slip novel brimming with spirits, Cornwall’s landscape and the whisper of magic. Whether you’re preparing your altar for Mabon, gathering herbs beneath the Harvest Moon, or simply soaking in September’s shifting energy, this episode will guide you deeper into the magic of the season. Harvest Moon Tarot/Oracle Spread (5 cards — can be done with tarot, oracle, or a mix) The Harvest — What have I gathered this season? → What blessings, lessons, or abundance is ripe and ready to acknowledge. The Gratitude — What deserves my thanks right now? → Where to pour appreciation to strengthen roots. The Balance — What is seeking harmony within me? → What needs to be brought into balance at this turning point of light and dark. The Release — What must I let go of before winter? → Habits, fears, or weights that cannot come with you into the darker half of the year. The Illumination — What guidance does the Harvest Moon shine upon my path? → The wisdom or vision that lights the way ahead. Harvest Moon Journal Prompts What am I most proud of harvesting this year — in work, spirit, relationships, or self? Where in my life am I being called to pause and give gratitude? What feels “out of balance” in me right now, and how might I restore harmony? What am I ready to lay down, release, or compost before the dark months? If the Harvest Moon could whisper one message to me, what would it be? What seeds of intention do I want to carry safely through the winter, to blossom when light returns? 🍂 New Mabon Zine — Hearth & Hollow 🍂 Available now My newest seasonal zine Hearth & Hollow is here — a ritual companion for the turning of the wheel, steeped in folklore, shadow work, and hedge witch magic.
