was a big fan of that band in the early 2000’s…. nice reminder to check them out! Really liked Herr Mannelig as with many others but also their cover of This Corrosion.
As someone who celebrates Dia de Muertos (note there is no “los” – that’s how native Hispanics refer to it), prepares special foods to “share” with our dead and makes pan de muerto at home – most of us have zero issues with Halloween and readily participate in both.
And it’s hard to thing of a much more pagan (in the traditional term) than Dia de Muertos – it has so ingrained and hard to eradicate by the Spanish colonists that they eventually had to incorporate it as a Christian holiday.
Same here! And part of the learning is figuring out the safe spots to be a smartass!
