What you need:
A candle and something to light it with - candles in oranges, browns, rusty reds or gold are nice, but a white candle always works in a pinch. A fall scented candle would work as well: cinnamon, pumpkin spice - whatever makes you feel the season!
A drink and a snack: Again, fall inspired things are nice if you have them on hand: leaf shaped cookies, fresh bread, a pumpkin or apple muffin - or just a nice fresh apple! Drinks can be anything from apple cider, herbal tea to a cold glass of water (it'll be almost 90 today here, so that sounds good to me!)
Optional: paper and pen, your cauldron or another heat proof dish
What to do:
Sit with your ritual items when you find a quiet moment. Center yourself and take a few deep, cleansing breaths. Think about the season passing and the one to come. Think of the abundance that you've received and worked hard to obtain. Light the candle and say the following (or words of your own creation):
I light this candle to honor the season and to give thanks for the abundance in my life. I strive to remember these blessings and give thanks for them throughout the entire year. I strive to remember to share those blessings with others not as fortunate as I am, even when I have little to share. I express my gratitude to the Lord and Lady for all my blessings this Mabon, and give thanks for all those blessings that will come to me this glorious fall season. So Mote it be!If you have the time or desire, write down your blessings and a few words of thanks on the paper. When it's just the way you want it, fold it into a small square, light it on fire on your lit candle and place it in your cauldron, to send off your thanks into the universe. (Never leave fire unattended and keep away from children and pets!). Have your drink and snack, leaving a bit to put outside as an offering if you choose to do so. Snuff out your candle and have a blessed Mabon season!

This is great! I was looking for something quick and easy to share with the kids, since we are also very busy.
Thank you,

Great Mabon ritual! I love this time of the year, and I think it's so important in these difficult economic times to take some time to remember all of our blessings!

Very nice - perfect for a busy mid-day ritual! Time is really running away on me, and I need to settle in and enjoy the Autumn before it passes!
Mabon blessings!
Thanks so much for the candle spell, I thought I would have to go searching among my books and google for one (it's been awhile) and here you are as if sent by one who watches and provides.
What beautiful and simple ritual. Mabon blessings to you and yours Mrs. B.
Goodness gracious, I sat here for a moment looking for the "like" button. Following you here AND FB is getting confusing! ROFLOL

Dear Mrs. B,
this sounds like a wonderful ceremony. Thank you~
Most times are just like that here too... I plan something, but sick kids (or moms, like this time!), lack of money (well this is all the time... lol) make me change and improvise. But the intention is what matters, after all.
Loved your candle ritual, simple and straight to the point, lovely1
Kisses and keep us posted about Miss M.!
