The Thirsty Dead

Laudator Temporis Acti had this fascinating post yesterday on the practice of libations for the dead in ancient Greece, inspired by an article on what is essentially the same ritual among urban youth in Northern California.

We in modern heathenry are just developing our practice in this area, and I found this a revealing look into the mindset of Indo-Europeans regarding their ancestors and departed loved ones.
