I think as we get older this day takes on deeper and deeper yearning and curiosity about the other side. In our culture even horror movies distance themselves from the dead. We just don’t want to believe one day our turn will come. I read a book recently about a Catholic priest who helps “caught” souls get to the other side. They were for whatever reason hesitant to move on. Don’t know what to make of it exactly but it was really interesting.

Recalibration - what a beautiful word for these traditions! Thank you so much, Jody. There's so much to uncover in these holidays, as we chatted about the other day, and it's a joy to get to learn about them alongside you!
