Les dejo mi oración para el altar de muertos:
En náhuatl:
-Ni con in tlahpaloa tlanahuatihke Tonatiuhichán, Cihuatlampa, Mictlán ihuan Tlalocan
-Non huei tlanahuatihke ihuan akime on chanchihua
-Ni con zehlia no tlahtol ipam non tlanahuatihke nemiliztli ihuan mikiliztli
-Ni mo tlatzohcamati ihuan nik tlahtlani in nahuak keman ni kin tlamanilis no cohcolhua
-Iehua non ompahuitze can o chanchihke
-Tonantzi Chihuacoatl ma kin huika non keman o chanchihke ipam Tlaltipactle
-Keman mokaki atecocoli ihuan cocoxtza ieliztli ni kin tenehua no cohcolhua
-Iehua ma kicakica no tlahtol ihua ma con mo tekilika tlan o ni kin onmanili
-No ihua copalpoctli ma kin mititi ohtle ihuan cempolxochitl makin tlahuili
-Ihuan nochi tlan oni kinmanili ma con masehuika ihuan ma casika can mo iek zehuiske.
En español:
-Saludo a los señores del Tonatiuhichán, Cihuatlampa, Mictlán y Tlalocan
-A los altos señores y a quienes los habitan
-Hago llegar mis palabras a los señores de la vida y la muerte
-Agradezco y pido permiso para ofrendar este altar a mis ancestros
-Para aquellos que se encuentran en camino a su recinto
-Que la Madre Cihuacóatl lleve consigo a quienes alguna vez habitaron el Tlaltícpac
-Con el sonido del caracol y el ruido de la naturaleza hago mención de mis ancestros
-Para que escuchen mis palabras, para que se sirvan de mi ofrenda
-Que el humo del copal despeje su camino, que la flor del cempoalxóchitl alumbre su trayecto
-Y que todo lo que ofrendo sea de su provecho, para que encuentren al fin el descanso esterno.

I’m trying to add aspects of my own self and ethnicity into my practice, so I wanted to celebrate Dia de Muertos for the first time. I’ve never done any ancestor work, nor have I celebrate Dia de Muertos because that’s not something that the Mexican side of family does. It felt good to do for the first time, even if my attempts have been a little clumsy so far.

Today is Day of the Dead Children in México.
I wish I had more time to build something much more beautiful, but despite it's humble set up I still do this wholeheartedly. I put up this offering thinking of all the kids around the world enduring tragedy, all the Mexican kids, all the Palestinian kids, and all the children in Sudan and El Congo, and every other kid who has lost their life to senseless violence and war.
I welcome them all with open arms into our home to feel warmth, to enjoy the flowers and incense and colourful paper, and to fill their souls with food and toys and all the other beautiful things they deserve.
I mourn you, and I'm thinking of you every day.
We will carry this grief and it will remind us to fight for you.

i think the qsmp is a torture experiment and i would die. idk how any of the content creators are surviving any of this with the eggs. what do you mean theres a child you have to take care of but theres something actively trying to kill it and sometimes they die?
what do you mean some of the children are permanently gone and you get to see them once a year and never again?

My heart is full. My spirit feels warm and held ♡ My ancestors and I shared pan de muerte and cranberry juice! Final result of my Dias de Los Muertos altar setup. The orange candle is intended to represent calendula flowers, which I unfortunately didn't grow this year. I dressed it in a pomegranate and vanilla essential oil blend and the loose herbs that I chose. Of which included Rose petals, Mugwort, Jasmine, and Cinnamon ♡ I also used small chunks of pink Himalayan salt to represent the 4 directions, so my intentions would flow clearly through each direction 🌊 The seashells are for the same purpose, as well as to honor the environment that has nourished and provided for me and my ancestors 🐚 If anyone has any questions, my asks are open!
