It is, in the Southern Hemisphere, Samhain season…
For me that starts with a number of death anniversaries through April and May, as well as Anzac Day, then Samhain itself (traditional date 30 April / 01 May) or usually later, the precise Moment (this year, Southern Hemisphere and in Naarm where I am, it is the 6th of May at 4.13am).
It’s very much about the Ancestors for me.
