Elevating and Healing Ancestors

A Livestream Class with Jennifer Medway

Sunday, October 5 at 8:15 pm in Spectral

Ancestor veneration is the foundation of many Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions. Espiritistas refer to them as los antepasados, and in Haitian Vodou, they are zansèt yo. In Lukumí, ancestors or eggun receive service before the Orisha. Elevating ancestors clears their paths, heals ancestral trauma, and gives them more power that they can use to bless their descendants. Ancestors can help heal relationships, remove blockages and obstacles, provide direction, find lost objects, and teach lessons. When beginning to practice these traditions, one’s first service should be to the ancestors because they are essential for spiritual development. During this presentation, participants learn how to set up an ancestor altar, serve their ancestors, and work with and receive messages from them. Sancista Jennifer shows participants how to elevate ancestors and make an oil and incense for engaging with their spirits.
