Death is the Great Healing: Reclaiming Ancestral Relationship w/ the Dead - Perdita Finn

"I pray to the dead to help me remember who I am while I'm still alive."

To be in relationship with those who've gone before us is a deeply human way of being. Our ancestors knew that the "departed" never left, and that they answer when called. The way modern Western people conceive of the dead is a deviation that discards millennia of human knowing. Let us pray to the ancestors to help us sober up from civilization, remember what we've always known, and reclaim the long story of the soul.
