Months ago my fish passed away, I wanted to talk about her death, as it was valid just like all the others, it required a finalization ritual, necessary to perpetuate the closure of her life cycle. I then built her tombstone, wrote her name in red blood and gave her hollow, amphibious body as an offering to the water mother. Another death marked.
Burial of the third Mary at the woods. Third Mary was part of the group of 3 Mary's. Today one shines in the sky, while the other two move in the water.
