The reality of tragedy, and how to respectively honor the lives of those we've lost, individually and collectively, especially in this time of conflict.
Thank you for sharing these lovely traditions. These dates are special to me for other reasons, I spend them preparing for the celebration of the anniversary of my initiation, which also involves decorating an altar to my Orishas and ancestors. I never really paid attention that it also takes place during el dia de los muertos. This year I will pay special attention to this piece. 🙏
Thank you. This is a beautiful tradition. Seems to me very few of us in Canada and USA really allow ourselves to fully fall into grief, compared to what I have seem in other cultures. The day of the dead provides space, and ceremony to get in touch with the love and the sorrow of those who are no longer with us on this physical plane. And also to know that they really haven't gone anywhere but are in the invisible realm. They are carried in our hearts. I will be spending this time in Oaxaca City.
🤗💜🙏 Thank you so much for your kind-hearted and reflective feedback. I agree wholeheartedly! It is such a joyous celebration to be able to take part in/hold space for, as so many of us rarely take the time to intentionally remember & celebrate the lives of those who have impacted ours. Have a magical time in Oaxaca -- it is the most incredible place to be for DDLM! I'll be there with you in spirit! ✨💫
