Beliefs about the afterlife, how to care for the spirits of the dead, and customs for mourning have always been a central part of ancestral wisdom. However, our modern culture often sanitizes death and hides it away: When we lose someone, we yearn for the traditional knowledge that helps us to have a healthy grieving process and usher the dead into the next world. In The Unquiet Grave, we explore these important forms of wisdom through the connected inheritance of Appalachian songs and Scottish folk tales, music and lore.
