Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, marks the point where day and night are perfectly balanced, inviting us to reflect, restore, and find equilibrium within ourselves. Mabon Magick is a handcrafted tea blend designed to help you unwind and harmonise your energies as the wheel of the year turns. With a calming combination of herbs, this tea is perfect for sipping during moments of stillness, or offering on your altar as a tribute to the season of balance and harvest.
Energetic Correspondences and Symbolism
Each herb in Mabon Magick has been chosen not only for its medicinal properties but also for its alignment with the spiritual and energetic essence of Mabon:
Skullcap: A powerful herb for calming the nervous system, skullcap encourages inner peace and relaxation, resonating with Mabon’s call to slow down and reflect. It supports emotional balance as we shift from the light of summer into the darker, introspective months ahead.
Hops: Deeply sedative and soothing, hops helps release tension and prepare the body for rest. Its connection to sleep and relaxation aligns with Mabon’s energy of retreating into stillness, mirroring the natural world as it prepares for the winter ahead.
Echinacea: As the weather cools, echinacea’s immune-boosting properties offer protection, symbolising resilience and strength. It serves as a reminder to fortify ourselves, both physically and spiritually, during this transitional time.
Orange Peel: The bright, citrusy essence of orange peel brings light and warmth to the blend, representing the final rays of summer’s sun. It also aids digestion, making it perfect for easing the body into the season’s heavier, heartier meals.
Passionflower: With its calming, stress-relieving properties, passionflower supports mental clarity and relaxation, embodying Mabon’s invitation to release anxiety and embrace inner calm.
Chamomile: Chamomile’s gentle energy nurtures and soothes, offering both physical relaxation and emotional healing. Its sweet, floral notes remind us to be gentle with ourselves during the seasonal transition.

Mabon Magick is not only a delicious, relaxing tea but can also be used as an offering during your Mabon rituals. Place it on your altar to honour the balance of the equinox, or sip it mindfully as you reflect on the harvest of your year—both physically and spiritually.
