I'm wondering about general customs or rituals that might surround people who are about to take a journey, or who are leaving home and may not come back. Anything related to a farewell or wishing someone safe travels, a healthy life, or good luck could be useful. What about homecoming rituals?
These could be standard phrases, offerings, whatever comes to mind as characteristic. The setting is a Mexico fairly early after the Spanish conquest, when native practices would have been affected by Spanish influence, but not wiped out. Anything surviving today, from any of the native cultures, could be useful.
