I have a book about with this painting by Alfredo Ramos Martínez from 1940, and I've begun to use her as the face of all my women ancestor workings since I don't have any good photos of my great-grandmothers. I set up a small little shrine for my first last night, using the book, lighting a candle, and offering some cranberry beer.

CW for eye contact.

With the turning from autumn to yule time, the ancestral gods have been coming in full force. It’s part of my spiritual cycle to have the kemetic gods go gently quiet for a few months to let the ancestors and those gods shine. Last couple years have not included these periods, I am thinking it’s because of how the world was. Now they are here to shine.

(Below is AI generated, helps to capture a vibe when I am working them out in my head)

In pagan circles we often include/venerate the ancestors. For those of us in the European diaspora, we’re generally talking about pre-Christian peoples which is a long way back, or ancestors of spirit/lineage. Both of these approaches are valid, but if it’s the only thing we do, can tacitly ignore the atrocities that the European diaspora did and continues to do. In the last year I’ve been doing a deep dive into my family tree to understand who exactly my genetic ancestors were. So far I’ve encountered an imperialist colonel who managed the entire supply train in the Pacific in WWII (grandfather I never knew), a member of the KKK (great grandfather), a slaver who “owned” upwards of 28 people at the time of his death (4th great grandfather), and a handful of pioneers and Confederate soldiers. Part of my decolonization effort is to have an open invitation to these ancestors around Samhain to see/experience how I’m actively transforming their lineage and unfucking the world they made. I keep hoping to find a cool ancestor like an abolitionist or a union fighter, but so far not yet. Uncovering their stories is hard and slow work, but feels somehow more substantial knowing who they were than the general assumption that I come from colonizers.

Looking for a resource of Mid-Atlantic compendium of early American settlers. I used one that was on the web and very helpful but cannot remember the name. Help! 🙂

About a year ago, I recieved a box in the mail containing my baby book, about a hundred loose photos from my childhood, and a birthday card with no inscription or message beyond my mom signing her and her husband’s names.

We hadn’t been on speaking terms since 2015. It was unclear whether it was an olive branch or a purging of all evidence I had ever existed.

There's a lot of talk in witch communities about "ancestor work." What do people often mean when they talk about ancestor work, and how can one practice it?
