Having been inspired after talking about the different traditions practiced all over the world with the underlying theme of death on a recent episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable, there was one that caught my attention. That is the East Asian tradition of The Hungry Ghost Festival. Similar to Día De Los Muertos, many Taoist and Buddhist celebrate what is known as The Hungry Ghost Festival to honor and remember the dead. It is said that during this time the both the gates of Heaven and Hell are opened and the spirits are allowed to roam the Earth. These spirits are restless and hungry and must be fed by certain rituals. Join us as we explore this topic a little deeper.
