Happy Mabon!
Today (or should I say Sunday - I'm writing this at a rather late hour! :) was Mabon, the Sabbat that celebrates the Autumn Equinox.
This is a time for reflection and celebration, as we say goodbye to Spring and Summer and prepare for the longer (and cooler) days and nights ahead. To take advantage of the season, try some spells that focus on letting go of old habits. As the soil goes dormant and the Earth begins her long winter sleep, use this rejuvenating energy to help you recoup and re-evaluate as well.
Mabon is also a time of giving thanks for the bounty we've received throughout the year so enjoy your feasts and be sure to say blessings for those not-so-fortunate. Celebrate with family and friends - that's what we're most thankful for after all, isn't it? - and use this time to reflect and instill balance into your life!

An Interview With Ellen Dugan
Some of you may not know this, but Under A Full Moon has actually been around for quite some time. We've had a lot of growing pains over the years (not to mention a few face-lifts to compensate) but its always been a wonderful and exciting journey.
So, while going through some of my older files, I came across an interview I did with Ellen Dugan a few years back. How could I have left this out? I know... I know... it baffles me too.
But there it was. And as I read it again, I realized that all of her fantastic insight was still just as applicable today as it was back then.
So, without further adieu, here's my interview with Ellen Dugan.

Witchy Reading: Green Magic
Since starting this site, the most common question I hear from readers is how. How do I cast a particular spell? How do I communicate with the Universe? How do I draw upon the energies of the elements? Where there is a will, there is a way. The way of Green Magic. An oldie but a goodie to be sure, this is a must-have for every witch.
