For those of us who work with ancestors or guides, this time of year often feels more accessible. Not because we're making it up or imposing meaning—but because the natural world itself is creating the conditions for proximity. The season evokes memory. The gathering of family and community, the storytelling, the reaching back to traditions and rituals passed down through generations—these aren't arbitrary. They mirror what's happening in nature: a return, a remembering, a cyclical coming home.
