Mabon Apple Harvest Ritual
			Moonfire CUUPS Mabon Apple Harvest Ritual Come and celebrate Mabon with members of MoonFire on 9/10 at 7:30pm at the UU Church of Arlington.  Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, is celebrated in many ways around the world. It is a day of balance, with equal amounts of darkness and light, but soon, winter will arrive. In some Pagan traditions, it marks the time when the Sun King descends into the underworld, from which he will be reborn at Yule. In many pantheons, the apple is a symbol of the Divine. Apple trees are representative of wisdom and guidance. This apple ritual will allow you time to thank the gods for their bounty and blessings, and to enjoy the magic of the earth before the winds of winter blow through. After the ritual, there will be potluck and fellowship – so please a dish to share. WHEN: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:30p.m. WHERE: Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington; 4444 Arlington, Blvd, Arlingonton, VA.
