CLEVELAND — As we say hello to autumn and goodbye to summer, people across the country are finding different ways to celebrate.

For some, that means putting out fall decorations, for others that means observing traditional holidays like Mabon. 

Mabon celebrates the autumnal equinox and it is considered a Pagan holiday. 

For Dawn Bartos, Mabon is all about giving back to her community.

She does this through her business, The New Moon witch store. 

“We look at this as a time to be able (to) share with those who are less fortunate. we call it Thanksgiving,” Bartos explained. “We started off with the celebration with the lighting of the altar. We also like to give things to people. Today, we are giving out apples because it’s apple season and it's in abundance.” 

As a witch, Bartos enjoys educating people about the practice and the traditions that come along with it.

She said ever since she was a child, she has always been drawn to the practice. 

For the past four years, she has been helping people at her store in Lakewood. 

She started The Cleveland Witches Walk three years ago as a way to raise money for charity. 

This year, the walk is raising money for The Collaborative to End Human Trafficking.

The witches walk brings in people from across the country and Bartos said it's a fun event for the whole family. 

Walkers are encouraged to dress up in their best witchy costumes. 

There will be local and international along with food and drink vendors. 

All of the money raised will go directly to The Collaborative to End Human Trafficking.

The witches walk takes place on Oct. 2. You can get your tickets, here.
