Welcome to the eighth episode of Offerings of Copal Podcast, hosted by Cihua Mazatl. As we approach Dia de los Muertos, we delve into the thinning veil between worlds, exploring the Mexica journey through Mictlan. This episode isn't just about death but embraces the cycles of life, transformation, and remembrance.
Join us as we explore the nine levels of Mictlan, the land of the dead in Mexica mythology. Discover how these ancient traditions are celebrated today and how commercialization has impacted their sacred roots. We also discuss the powerful cultural narrative of sacrifice and question the necessity of carrying heavy burdens.
We broaden the conversation by examining how other ancient cultures honor death and celebrate the sacred universal cycle. Finally, we reflect on how Dia de los Muertos can be reclaimed as a personal practice of connection and reverence. Grab your cafecito or light some copal, and let's embark on this meaningful journey together.
