Mabon is upon us. For those who don’t know, Mabon coincides with the Autumnal Equinox and is a mid-harvest festival. It’s a time of dark and light finding balance, of honoring our seasons. It’s also the time to celebrate the stability of hearth and home. These themes are ran strongly through my head as I wrote scenes with Azurine, Scarlett, and Amber&women from a long line of witches and with strong powers of their own.
While I’ll never wear a Pagan hat upon my head, I do believe in good energy and positive thoughts. So for Mabon, I’ll be burning a green candle nestled deep in a bowl of soil with a single iron nail placed inside. I’ll say a prayer for my home and my family, I’ll say another for safety during the coming winter, and give thanks for the abundance of the harvest.
And I might just go back and read about a young witch who finds her soul mate in a wolf shifter named Pup.

My favorite season is summer. It can’t get to hot for me. I hate the winter, which really makes me dislike fall, because winter is right behind it. I always say that I hibernate and read all winter.
Fall, the temperature starts to come down, usually, but not to cold. Warm days, cool nights. And even in California the trees turn colors. Was just having Feral Breed withdrawals…
Merry meet and merry part

My favorite season is the fall, when we get a break from the summer heat. Halloween and Thanksgiving are bonuses!
fall, the changing of the leaves, the crisp bite in the air
FAll is my favorite season because I love love wearing hoodies and the weather is perfect for them. You can smell the aroma of wood in the air from wood stoves burning, and pumpkin everything just is the cherry on top!
Hands down FALL! Flannel shirts, hoodies, college football,pumpkin desserts and anything that is a treat this time of year.
Fall, leaves are changing, can go for nice long walks with the dog and not worry about overheating.
Favorite season is spring. Love the thunderstorms and new growth
Favorite season is spring (fall is a close second) I love how after a long cold winter spring brings everything back to life and warmth…
My favorite season is Spring. I love to see the grass turn green and the trees get their leaves. Then trying to decide what new flowers I want to plant. Every thing just seems new.
My favorite season is winter. Living in Florida, it is so muggy and so hot most of the time, so winter gives me some much needed cooler weather where I can open my windows and not feel so closed in.

Ilove summer. My birthday and all the vacation possibilities
My favorite is also fall. I was born in September. The leaves are changing and are beautiful. The weather is usually awesome with warm days and cool nights, not too warm and not too cold, just right.
My favorite season is winter because it’s cold, my birthday is in December, also Christmas!
Fall! I love pumpkin patching on crisp fall days, that cool weather flush is pretty on my cheeks. I’m also a HUGE fan of roasting & pureeing my own pumpkin for pancakes, pies and more. Halloween is super fun to decorate for, and handing out candy is one of my favorites. I love feeding people for Thanksgiving, and even when it was just my hubby and me, I put on the whole spread!
Fall is food, outdoors, and family. 🙂
I love FALL! The air is crisp and the sound of the leaves rustling when the wind blows, there’s nothing better.

My favorite session is the Thanksgiving/Christmas season because of getting to see and spend time with family and friends that you may not see any other time during the year due to distances and busy schedules.

Fall to pick pumpkins
Fall is definitely my favorite season! I love the crackling of the leaves underfoot and their wonderful colors. I also love anything pumpkin flavored.

Favourite season – Autumn. ‘Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ as the poem goes. The smell of Autumn is what really gets to me, the tang of smoke from bonfires, aerial insect menaces gone at last, carving pumpkins, Hallow E’en, drifting leaves rustling underfoot – my idea of heaven.
