*MARZEACH is an ancient, pre-Yahweh, pre-monotheism Canaanite, and Hebrew ritual celebrated across both cultures. It remembered and honored the recently dead and their Ancestors.  This ritual pre-dates the Jewish culture's adoption of a "Yahweh alone" mono-theistic religion following the Babylonian captivity.  Consequently, the prophet Amos disapproved of Marzeach because it was a ritual from the polytheistic roots of the Canaanites and Hebrews and was not a "Yahweh alone" ritual.  As Primitive Hebrews and polytheists, we continue to honor and celebrate this ritual each year at this time. 

​

If you wish to join us in this online remembrance, please use our contact form or chat window on this website and we will get you an invitation with the ritual preparations and requirements.
