The dead Ancestors Naked Wednesday

October 29, 2025 / Tapi Writer

This week’s Naked Wednesday carried the spirit of Día de los Muertos deep into the jungle. Summer began the evening with a blessing for the ancestors. Then Whisper followed with a short ritual, calling the spirits to join us as the drums began to play.

The ancestors and their spirit animals were hidden far around in the jungle, waiting to be found. Micke and Alaya were the first to discover them all, calling out their names as the others gathered around the campfire to cheer.

This weekend, the Hacienda filled with music and candlelight as we gathered to honor the ancestors. Eve opened the night with her speech, before Shaman Whisper, together with Summer and Catten, performed a voodoo ritual to awaken the spirits of the dead, its power marked by blood, feathers, and the lifeless chickens offered to the beyond.

When the ritual ended, the drums took over and everyone danced. Painted faces, bone-clad bodies, and bright dresses filled the courtyard until dawn, as the living and the dead celebrated side by side.
