July is a month shrouded in folklore and superstition. It is believed that this month sees an increase in wandering souls and lost spirits, leading to a unique tradition of offering ceremonial feasts to appease these wayward entities.

The seventh lunar month is known as the 'Month of the Hungry Ghosts' due to the belief that this is when the King of Hell opens the gates of the underworld, allowing lost souls to wander the Earth.

The 7th lunar month is steeped in cultural significance and is considered the most auspicious month of the year. Superstition surrounds this month, with a traditional warning against burning incense in the evenings.

The full moon of the seventh lunar month is a time of vibrant ancestral worship traditions in many communities. However, how should we perceive and approach these practices in a modern context?

Cemetery visits and grave tending are age-old traditions that honor the deceased. The act of tending to one's ancestors' graves is a heartfelt way to express gratitude and remember their legacy. The seventh lunar month, often known as the Ghost Festival, presents an opportune time to pay respects by visiting and offering incense at the graves of departed loved ones.
