Our ancestors are great allies in navigating the complexities of our incarnations because much like the shadow, our ancestors know everything about us. They know, for example, what kind of person will be best for us to partner with in our love life. And they know which opportunities are going to work out and which ones are going to fall flat. Our ancestors walked the Earth and lived their own lives in their own time. When they died, they learned powerful lessons about the choices they made. Now that they are on the other side, they have a broader perspective. They can see the bigger picture. When we create a bridge to our ancestors and invite them to participate in our lives, they support and protect us. They let us know when something is not aligned or when something is not in our best interests. To cultivate a relationship with your ancestors, build a bridge between your world and theirs. To do this, sit in front of the ancestor altar, which is your focal point of ancestral mojo. But if you haven’t created an altar to your ancestors yet, don’t sweat it, your ancestors can hear you wherever you are. Just call them and ask for assistance.
