Mystics, Mages, and Magical Places #11 - Rebroadcast: Working With Ancestors

REBROADCAST: Original Air Date, 05/08/2023 What IS Ancestor Work? In many cultures Ancestor Work is related to the belief that the dead have a continued existence and possess the ability to influence the fortune -- or misfortune -- of the living. It is a form of Spirit work, covering a broad range of altar work, prayers, and spell casting in many traditions in which pratitioners seek the aid of their familial ancestors for assistance. They are often commemorated and venerated on a home altar, with photographs or personal mementos to link to their spirits based on love and respect for the deceased. Ancestor worship crosses the boundaries of religious traditions, geographical regions, and socioeconomic groups. Join Reverend Art and Reverend James and our special guest Nikki Jean as we explore the why's, when's, and how's of working with our Ancestors!
