OK, guys. So I've been drinking and started wondering, why are october and november such "mystic" months. I mean, for a bunch of cultures these months are special and mystic, but why?

Fall, harvest, preparing for winter. It's all just relative to the seasons. Notice places on earth with different seasons at those times didn't have those associations.

but most cultures celebrate the dead around that time, is it because of fall? I'd like to know what cultures celebrate rites around that time of the year.

It gets cold in october and all the plants in the north die, and their leaves sublime and are carried by the wind to the south

Death ties in with it because its fuckin everywhere in the fall. Leaves are dying, other plants are dying, bugs are dying, small animals are dying. Imagine you were some dude in the distant past and you saw everything around you dying and felt the air getting colder and you knew this meant it was a time of year that sucked ass and meant less food to go around. You'd dream up some spooky shit.
