Mabon. The autumnal equinox. The second harvest. The time of balance between light and dark. The witch's thanksgiving.
I absolutely love this song. In it I can hear the crisp air sing as leaves begin to change colors, showing off their vibrant reds and yellows and oranges before they fall. The energy of the harvest time vibrates with joy and celebration and accomplishment.
Dutch pagan-folk band Omnia is one of my favorites. They sing in English, German, Dutch, Gaelic, Finnish, Hindi and play hurdy-gurdy, harp, bodhrán, guitar, bouzouki, didgeridoo, flutes, bagpipes, and all sorts of drums and percussion instruments.
Mabon by Omnia from the 2004 album "The Crone of War" (also on "Live Religion" released in 2005)
