The Heart Is a Veil, Lifted: Feasting with the ancestors in mythic time - a podcast by Kathryn Fink

Walking through the gateway into the dark half of the year, we are invited to come close to our ancestors, to death, and to living in time that is cyclical, non-linear, and centered on the eternal present.

We find our way through the veil with traditions of illumination, celebration, and most importantly, feasting with the beloved dead. Get to know other holidays of the season besides Halloween, Samhain, and Día de Muertos—you’ll get a taste instead of Poland’s Dziady, Haiti’s Fet Gede, and Jewish Sukkot. Then, face death through a liberatory lens, explore how to live from mythic time, and call on the ancestors for support in transitional moments.
