Hand cream was often a holiday gift from older women in the family. My great aunt often gave me face creams, hand creams and other beauty products.

I use the hand cream and its associated scents for feeling closer to departed ancestors.

I work as well with a version of my past self during ancestor work. This brings to the fore the way I used to practice and my spirituality at a different time.

Ancestor work need not be with those currently passed only. I like to honor and remember living ancestors as well. Much of ancestor work for me involves feeling closer to those loved.
