How to connect to your Ancestors

Journaling: Start writing to them, talk about everything and anything. Even when you go off the deep end. Just keep writing. Ask them questions. Ask them to have they ever been in the same situations as you? Ask them what kinds of problems did they in counter in their day. Just ask them because the answers to your problems might be in the questions you are asking them.

Tarot/Oracle: They like to communicate through reading as well. But be careful and take your time deciphering the message. They might tell you something you don’t want to hear. Or the message that they are giving is not the same as what you are intercepting. No matter how many cards you pull, how many decks you use the message will come out the same.

Dreams: Anything happening in your sleep? You saw numbers, objects, colors, animals etc. A lot of things were happening. You don’t remember all? That okay! Write down the key things that you do remember and look them up. They are to the answers to the problems. They might be telling you something about yourself that you need to acknowledge. Something/someone might be coming for you that you need to be aware of.

Nature: Slow down and go outside. Take a walk or just sit down outside for a few minutes. You might see something at that moment. Animals, bugs, numbers, or a certain feeling that might come over you. Connect with the elements.

Mediation: Don’t knock it until you try it. Mediation can be hard, but hey divine messages come through mediation as well for some people. It takes times and patients. Keep trying and soon the messages they have for you might come thru that.

Offerings: Food, Candy, liquor, coffee etc.: Put out your ancestor’s favorite foods candy and liquor as an offering. Light a candle. If it is a special occasion, make them a plate as well.

Candle: Light a candle. Its okay if it is not white. Just use what you have. If you have pictures set them out around the candle. Let the candle burn.

Altar: An ancestors alter is a power station for them. So, ancestors do not have to take your energy from you. Fill the altar with things that your ancestor like. Food, Candy, liquor etc. Keep out in an open space or put it in a private space. Make sure you clean and refresh waters, liquors ever so often.

Ancestor Money: Burn it daily, weekly, monthly, or just on special occasions. Smaller notes, burn those daily. Bigger notes weekly to special occasions. Burning money can also help clear Karma debt. (Debt from previous cycles that repeating in your current life.) Money must be burned completely and if burns green you know that the money has been accepted or Ancestors have granted your wish. The money also helps your ancestors pay for things in the spirit realm.

• For me I do not have the space for an ancestor’s altar. However, I do burn 7 notes of ancestor’s money every week. You don’t have to have an altar but there are many alternate ways for you to connect with your ancestors without spending money. However, Ancestors money you can get under $10 off amazon. No excuses.

Orisha: You must connect with your ancestors first before you get to the orishas. If your start messing around with the orisha and you are not consistent they will get you. They will start mess with your life and remember Papa Legba is the tricksters.

Ancestor Bracelets: Connect with your ancestors more by getting a personal/customize Ancestors Bracelets. Plus, it helps you remember that they are with you, and what both side of the bloodline brings to you in this current life.
