autumn world

welcome to autumn!

at the beginning of the dark season , traditionally at the end of october or the beginning of november, the dead and the ancestors are being commemorated in many places and countries throughout the world – in many different ways – the gates to the otherworld have been opened and in the best case, as I believe, everybody  - regardless of faith or religion – celebrates together with the dead a scarily-beautiful feast – the transforming and cleansing fire does away with the old to make way for the new – gardening comes to an end – it is harvest time and thanksgiving – the journey turns inward – with this in mind, have an inspiring all saints’ day, all souls’ day, Samhain, dia de los muertos day of the dead and all hallows’ eve!
