I don't know the details of all the rituals my mom goes through.
I think tradition will die with me and my sister.
She has a bunch of food on a table with alcohol and tea and incense, all facing the window. She opened the window a bit, maybe to let in the spirits of our ancestors??? I don't know.
When the incense burns all the way through, we'll eat this food. First we have to wait for the spirits to eat it....I think...
I just think it's strange. I don't believe in spirits. I'm an atheist.
I don't think my mom does either?? She still sets everything up for them though.
