Here are a few ways to recognize the darker aspects of the day on the Equinox, Mabon with your Witchlets - hold a Falling Leaves ritual out doors.

Take an offering of grains and vegetables out to a large tree, preferably an oak that is beginning to color and lose its leaves.
Speak about the Wheel as reflected in the life of the tree-

• In Spring the first new signs of life appear, moving into maturity at summer, then to ripe acorns in late summer, now to dying as acorns and leaves fall, and the tree will "die" and slumber under Winter's cold before beginning again in early Spring.
• At ritual's end, have the children gather a few favorite leaves to press between waxed paper with an iron(supervise the ironing!); cut around leaves and hang in the witchlet's window.
