Who are our Ancestors? Ancestors our blood relatives who have passed away into the next life. This could be a person who we dearly beloved during our lives before they died or a someone who we might not know much at all. For the ones that hated you might not be smart to work with. It could be your lovable grandmother who always baked your favorite sugar coated cookies each night after church, or you funny uncle who always cheered you up and made you laugh every second he was in the room. Who ever it may be make sure it will be the person you cherished the most time with when they were alive.

Ancestors are great to work with by replenishing our love and relationships with the dead to honor what they did during our lives. Ancestral magick is also a good way to conquer our fear of death and to rather accept our fate as human beings, Just think about without death we wouldn't be able to reunite with our love ones we missed so much while we were alive.

Ancestors can guide us and help us with everyday issues and you don't even need a spell to do so. All you need is your voice and love. Ask for permission if one of your ancestral spirits can help you and if they can show them your love by fixing something they enjoyed during life. This can be music, food, objects, or anything you can use to make that certain bond like you did while they were alive.

If you need help with something that is more than an serious, you can perform a ritual with the power of your ancestors. Do this by what I call invoking the current, or what others may call it ancestral energy. Ask an ancestor to help you to find love, get money, or even get back at a bully at school. But to do this like I said before you need that certain spirit?s permission. If they are willing to do so and they do it give them thanks by leaving an offering on either their gravesite, on your altar, or even at the crossroads.

It might not be a good idea to work with an ancestor who had troubles with another person you work with because that may cause some issues. Like for instance my grandfather?s father. My family could of been filthy rich if my great grandad didn't abandon him and his family when he was young, taking all the money and keeping it to himself. If I posted a picture on my wall with him with my grandpa that could start a predicament.

Its also a good idea before doing any type of spirit work to have assistance before doing any magick so that if an incident happened you?ll have some back up to support you. Ancestors who loved you dearly while they were alive wouldnt let a single hair on your chin to be mistreated if you were in a situation. They will try their best to reconcile your problem.

If you needed help from losing your house and had nobody else to turn to, why not try your dead aunt who was the landlord of that very house you live in. Ancestors can help with any problem if treated with respect and love.

Any ancestor can help you with a problem especially if they were skilled at a certain profession. If you had one who was a bodybuilder invoke their energies like you would for a god or goddess and you may have the solution to problem, that is if you're willing to body build.

Ancestors can help you with alot of issues if treated correctly. If you don't know how to talk to one just put both of your hands together and you can pray to them. Talk to them like they were still alive by treating and acting like if they were still their. Dont act shy even if you haven't seen them in a while act like how you normally do with them.

If you want to work with an ancestor but don't know them that well, you could always ask an alive relative what they they were like when they were alive. Its always best to ask what their favorite foods were, drinks, stuff they like, or even what age or when did they die. It will help you on the way to know this stuff.

Ancestors are always there for us, as we should be for them, for their is always a special place in our heart for our beloved ones who have come to passed. If we take some time and love to dedicate an altar to them I?m for sure the ones you kept closest to your heart will appear and will want to work with you.

I hope you found some great information on this thread I posted, I especially hope to see some more ancestor venerators on this website. If you would like me to post more, comment below and I will try my best to do so.

Thank You And Have A Nice Day!
