Join authors and practicing Witches Raven and Stephanie Grimassi as you explore how to communicate with the dead daily through the medium of the ancestral altar, a place of power in your home that allows you to build bridges to the other side and build lasting relationships with your loved ones in spirit.
For many people, the idea of ghosts coming into their home is a terrifying thought. To actually invite them in would seem utterly insane, but, for countless centuries people have been doing just that, creating sacred spaces in their homes to honor and venerate their ancestors, reaching out to them for guidance, protection, communication and strength. Such spaces are often referred to as the Ancestral altars, for they give reverence to those who have gone before us, paving the way for who we are and who swim in the very rivers of our blood. Such altars can be found throughout religions and cultures throughout time, whether tribal healers conjuring spirits from elaborate constructs of bones, skins, and flame, or simply church-going ladies laying out photos of their beloved dead across their dining room sideboards. Raven and Stephanie will guide you through the ways to make daily communion with the spirits of your loved ones through daily exercises, rituals, and simple meditations.
Through this workshop, Raven and Stephanie will guide you through everything you need to create an ancestral altar in your home:
