A Remembrance Altar: Using Sacred Space to Honor Your Ancestors

As the month of October unfolds and the daylight hours grow shorter, many witches and other practitioners of magic begin to turn their thoughts to honoring their ancestors. One practice that allows us to express this desire to reconnect with our honored dead is the creation of an ancestral altar or shrine. Creating an altar dedicated to honoring one’s ancestors is a magnificent way to connect with your roots, remember loved ones who have passed, and tap into the themes of death and remembrance associated with the autumn season.

Ancestor Work: An Introduction for Beginners

Ancestral work is a term and concept that I’ve been questioned about a fair few times within the last year. As someone who has always been overwhelmingly approached about divinatory practices, strengthening one’s psychic abilities, and developing one’s magical craft in general, it was impossible not to notice the uptick in public interest in ancestral work and practices. I have to say, I’m quite excited at the prospect of so many stepping into this field because ancestral work is important when it comes to individual spiritual growth and exploring, understanding, and building one’s own unique world of magical craft.
