What if I were to tell you that the dead are always with us?
This truth is attested to by most of the world's contemporary and all of the world's known past cultures. It is only relatively recently and in a small portion of us that have forgotten this fact. Something that we can all agree on, however, is that without those that come before, we are not a thing. A subtle point that might be easy to overlook, we can only be in right relation with those that will follow, our descendants, by being in right relation with the ancestors.
Most cultures around the world have times that give particular emphasis to those that have come before. For many of us Halloween, All Hallows' Eve, October 31st is such a time. Upon closer inspection, we see that historically this period is marked by a number of important times and that indeed, especially in farther northern latitudes, was an entire season dedicated to renewing our relationship with the numinous and otherworldly forces whose power and presence grew ever important at this time. The darker and colder months were times of famine and death for many. It was understood that our survival was dependent on our right relation with the ancestors, the land, and her spirits.
In this free course, I will delve into traditions contemporary and ancient surrounding the dark half of the year. In particular you will receive:
💀 A ritual protocol for approaching the Master of the Crossroads; renewing your relationship with The Mighty Dead; and bringing peace The Lost Souls.
💀 We will explore Mercury's role as Psychopomp and guide of the dead, as well as become familiar with several other Crossroads god-forms
💀 Receive practical insights into forming right relation with your ancestors and the spirits of the land
