Mabon, also known as the fall equinox, is the holiday on the Wheel of the Year that descends us into autumn.

Lammas, or Lughnasadh, is one of the four cross-quarter days on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. This holiday, celebrated by ancient European pagans, marks the beginning of the harvest season.
