Introduction to Mabon
Mabon ap Modron is a figure from Welsh mythology whose name means "Son of the Mother." He is often depicted as a divine youth, associated with light, rebirth, and the mysteries of transition. In the tale of "Culhwch and Olwen" from the Mabinogion, Mabon is stolen from his mother Modron shortly after birth and imprisoned in a dark place, only to be rescued much later by a band of heroes. His story symbolizes the cycle of descent and return—light retreating into darkness, only to be reborn.
Mabon Ap Modron and the Autumn Equinox
According to legend, Mabon was stolen from his mother when he was just three nights old, a moment of profound rupture that sets his story in motion. This early loss mirrors the spiritual experience of separation from one’s source, innocence, or deeper self. Despite his disappearance, Mabon is not dead—he is hidden, waiting, and growing in secret. His eventual return symbolizes not only rebirth but also the process of recovering lost parts of the soul.
