Ah, Mabon—the Fall Equinox. The time of year when day and night finally get their act together and balance out, just like we’re supposed to. As witches, spiritual badasses, and soulpreneurs, we know this is more than just a seasonal shift. This is a wake-up call to balance your life, get paid what you're worth, and maybe clean up that hot mess of a workspace you’ve been pretending is organized. Trust me, I’ve been there.

Mabon marks the second harvest, a time to celebrate what we’ve sown and prep for the coming winter months. But for us witchy business mavens? It’s about cashing in on all the hard work we’ve put into our passion-driven businesses while clearing out the clutter—physical, mental, and financial—so we can coast through the dark season like the magical bosses we are.

Here’s how you can use Mabon to elevate your soulpreneur game.

Get Paid What You're F*cking Worth

Let’s start with the big one: money. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably felt some kind of way about asking for more money. Maybe you’ve been afraid of coming off as greedy or selfish (because the world tells spiritual women to play small, right?). Guess what? Asking to be paid what you're worth isn’t greed. It’s RESPECT.

I had to learn that the hard way. For years, I undersold my services, thinking I was doing people a favor by being “affordable.” Spoiler alert: no one benefited from that, least of all me. Mabon’s all about balance, so now’s the perfect time to review your prices. Look at what you offer—tarot readings, one-of-a-kind artwork, business coaching—and ask yourself, "Am I charging what this is actually worth?"

If you’ve been selling yourself short, it's time to raise those rates, babe. Make this your new mantra: “I am worthy of abundance, and my work deserves to be compensated.” Hell yes, it does.

Organize Your Workspace (Or Finally Create One)

Mabon brings the energy of getting your sh*t together, and that includes your workspace. Look, I get it—working from bed, kitchen table, couch, wherever there’s space. But if you’re really serious about your business, it’s time to carve out a space that screams “This is where magic happens.”

I finally did this myself. I created a workspace in my bedroom (because boundaries, people!) to separate my nonprofit and finance work from Slight Look and writing. Found a killer vintage metal table on the side of the road, repainted it dark green, and—voilà—turned it into a creative zone. Tossed in an antique chair that was practically forced on me at an estate sale, and suddenly, the vibe was on point. Book wall? Check. Old photos? Check. All the witchy feels? Double check.

If your space looks more chaotic than creative, now’s the time to fix it. Clear the clutter, find a vibe that matches your energy, and make your workspace a place that inspires the hell out of you.

Finish That Project You’ve Been Ignoring

Procrastinators unite—but only for a second because Mabon is the time to finish what you’ve been avoiding. We’ve all got that one project. You know the one—it’s been sitting on your to-do list for months. (I see you, half-finished book wall, and yes, I’ll get to you once I’ve dealt with my Bridgerton obsession).

For you, maybe it’s finally updating your website, finishing your course content, or launching that new service you’ve been brainstorming forever. Whatever it is, Mabon is the universe nudging you to stop f*cking around and get it done. The satisfaction of checking it off your list is going to feel like pure magic.

Tackle Simple Tasks That Will Make Winter Suck Less

Mabon is also about preparation. Winter is coming (no Game of Thrones vibes here, just facts), and you’ll want your life—and your business—to run smoothly during the colder months. This is where those annoying little tasks come in. You know, the stuff you keep putting off because “it can wait”—well, it can’t anymore.

Maybe it’s automating your email responses, organizing your content calendar, or—if you’re me—buying some eco-friendly mosquito repellant because it’s STILL mosquito season. Whatever it is, knock out those small tasks now so future you can kick back with a pumpkin-spiced something and enjoy life without a hundred little annoyances.

Get Your Witchy Ass Outside

Mabon is the perfect excuse to soak up the last of that gorgeous fall energy. Get outside, witches! Go for a walk, ground yourself in nature, or just chill in your outdoor space (if you haven’t decorated it for fall yet, get on that). I went all out with pumpkins, leaves, and cozy blankets. Yes, I’m that person now, and I’m owning it.

If nature is your jam, Mabon is the time to connect deeply with the earth’s energy. Let it recharge your soul, cleanse your mind, and prepare you for the quiet months ahead. Plus, getting outside before winter takes over just feels good—trust me.

Rethink Your Relationship with Food and Plants

As you’re bringing in those Mabon harvest vibes, take a second to think about where your food actually comes from. How do you get your produce? Where does it come from, and how many hands has it passed through before landing on your plate?

Consider connecting more deeply with your food. Maybe visit a local farmer's market or grow something yourself. This awareness brings a kind of gratitude that nourishes your body and soul in ways that extend far beyond dinner.

Create a Mabon Altar That Speaks to Your Soul

Let’s talk altars. Mabon is the perfect time to give your sacred space a fall refresh, turning it into a physical manifestation of everything you want to honor and manifest during the season. Forget the harvest basket—this is about building an altar that reflects your magical and spiritual vibes.

My Mabon altar is all about blending the witchy with the personal. I’ve got my squirrel skull sitting proudly next to my record player because, let’s be real, it’s Fleetwood Mac season, baby! Nothing sets the mood for deep reflection and witchcraft like Stevie Nicks on vinyl. Surrounding that, I’ve placed some yarn spiderwebs, crystals in autumn hues (orange calcite and smoky citrine are faves), an obsidian tombstone, and a crow statue for that extra touch of mystery.

And, of course, I’ve made a space for Hekate—goddess of crossroads, transitions, and all things shadowy. She’s the ultimate guide for navigating life’s messy transitions and harnessing the energy of this season. I leave her offerings like apples, dark bread, and black candles. It’s a way of honoring the goddess who keeps me grounded while helping me step into my power.

Your altar should be as unique as you are. Whether you’re working with a goddess like Hekate, honoring ancestors, or just creating a space to focus your intentions, let it be a reflection of who you are and what you want to call in during this time. Fill it with things that inspire you, ground you, and connect you to the energy of Mabon. And if that happens to include a Fleetwood Mac record or a random squirrel skull? All the better.

The Final Spell

Mabon is the season of reflection, balance, and harvest. For the soulpreneur, it’s an opportunity to check in on your goals, make sure your space is aligned with your magic, and clear out anything that’s no longer serving you. Whether you’re adjusting your rates, cleaning up your workspace, or finishing that damn project, Mabon invites you to harvest your power and prepare for the winter ahead.

So, witches, let’s celebrate. Get outside, get organized, and get paid. Happy Mabon! May your harvest be abundant, your workspace vibey, and your projects done.
