I've been thinking about the old ways, how our ancestors honored the thinning veil. The Dumb Supper ritual, a silent meal set for the departed, always fascinates me. It's a powerful way to feel the presence of those who walked the earth before us, rooted in the harvest's end. It reminds us of the cycle of life and death, just like the turning soil. 🎃
