Celebrate the first official day of Autumn with our sweet and spiced Apple Crumble ensuring a cosy sabbat.
Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox, takes its name from the Welsh god of mythology, Mabon. He is the son of the Earth Mother Goddess Modron, and is the Child of Light.
The Green Man (Horned God) prepares for the return of death and rebirth. The Goddess is radiant as Harvest Queen and the God finally dies with His gift of pure love with the cutting of the last grain.
With equal days and night, this is the time where nature is in its balance. It is a time to be thankful for what the earth has provided.
I cannot think of a better recipe to show my thanks for the earth's provision than a warming Apple Crumble using apples from my own garden.
