In Laos, over 2,100 giant stone jars are spread out across a huge, grassy area. History experts say a mysterious ancient group used these heavy jars for funerals, but those people completely vanished around the year 500!
After a long while, I have finally been given leave to share these mourning portraits taken of a fox struck by a car close to my home. These funerary rites—and the very appearance of this dead fox—were part of a larger piece of spirit-led work, which has proved transformational for my Craft. For that reason, in part, I honor and celebrate this slain beast. Even beyond the occult aspects of it, however, I also mourn for the corporeal loss of this dear creature, and hope to honor and celebrate the memory of its life with others.
