HOW ANCESTORS COMMUNICATE: ANCESTOR ALTAR BEST PRACTICES

Ancestors are widely acknowledged as highly responsive spirits; some attribute this to the fact that without descendants, ancestors cease to fulfill their ancestral roles, while others view the transition from 3D life to spirit form as a means for ancestors to continue offering nourishment, safety, and comfort in a way that spans wider and more impactfully than during their earthly form. A simple yet potent way to cultivate a connection with departed ancestors is by creating an ancestor altar. These altars, whether dedicated to specific individuals (a grandmother, for instance) or a group of ancestors (grandparents and great grandparents), serve as sacred spaces—be it a shelf, table, or another surface—reserved for spirit communication, offering sites, or energetic communion.
