This month, we travel beneath the surface. Scorpio season asks us to look where light rarely lingers—to face what’s buried, inherited, and waiting to be remembered. In this issue, we follow those threads of death and renewal across cultures and practices: through the altars or ofrendas of Día de los Muertos, where locals share how they honor the dead and keep their stories alive; into the quiet ritual of intuitive tattooing, where ink becomes a form of initiation; and even deeper, down the mythic path of Mictlān, the Aztec underworld—a journey through nine shadowed realms toward the heart of transformation.
Each story here reminds us that descent is not an ending but a passage.
