Finally gave my thanks for Mabon

I was a day late, as I felt too ill yesterday, but I have just done what I wanted to do.

I thanked Selene for allowing me to have her as my patron Goddess, and then I took a small red apple, cut it in two (across not vertically) and I used it as a thank you to the Earth (not a god, but the actual planet).

I said (and I can't remember the exact owrds, but it went something like this).

"I thank you, Planet Earth for everything you have given me, and everyone else this year so far. I cut this apple in two as a thank you, one half for the food and water I have had, and the other half for the food and water that I have yet to consume.

For all of your bounty, I thank you... and I bury this small apple as my symbol of thanks to you."

And then I buried it. After I'd done that I thanked Selene again for the strength she gives me to face each day, I fed the birds and came indoors.

I feel happy now, as I usually forget to mark the festivals, and feeling ill hasn't helped (damn this stupid cold!), so I'm glad that I did something, even though it was small and late (which is better than nothing and never, lol!)


I shall light a votive and place it in my cauldron later, too... and I shall write a proper prayer to Selene, and not something just "off the cuff". My aging memory means that I always seem to forget what I've just said, and therefore don't have an accurate record of my workings.
