Myth in the Mojave

Quetzalcoatl & the Day of the Dead


Listen Later

From around the world and across time, experiences of the unseen realms and the beings that populate it come down to us in the form of religion, myth, and story. Some of these stories feed living rituals like the Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos), that still hold meaning for people today.

I recorded this program on the cusp of the full Hunter’s moon, a few days before Halloween, to honor the powerful, annual transition from light to darkness. May it inspire you to extend an invitation to your ancestors and helpers in the spirit world.

“. . . Is it true one really lives on the earth? Not forever on earth, only a little while here. Though it be jade it falls apart, though it be gold it wears away…”
 —-Nezahualcoyotl, Aztec king and sage from the 15th century
