Find spiritual healing and everyday magic in this beautifully mysterious guide to communing with your ancestors. Picking up where The Book of Séances left off, artist, author, and witch Claire Goodchild delivers a guide that is truly the first of its kind: The Book of Ancestors, a map for seekers looking to develop a relationship with their ancestors. Through a combination of text and illustration, The Book of Ancestors explores the history of traditional genealogy topics, such as “how to research and build a family tree” and “the history of cemeteries.” Alongside these practical measures, Claire provides rituals, spells, and crafts from her own personal practice, drawing on the British and Slavic traditions of her heritage, alongside contributions from fellow witches including Codi Popovich and Marjorie from The Punk Priestess for a broader, more enriched lens. As the text progresses, Claire guides her readers through the creation their own “Book of Ancestors,” a family grimoire of sorts, blending together their own ancestral legacies with witchcraft that can be passed down to future family. Visually, The Book of Ancestors pairs with The Book of Seances, containing witchy, esoteric, and funerary images in a Victorian style with lots of floral embellishments and classic colors. Whether a seasoned witch, or a newcomer to the spirit world, readers will walk away from The Book of Ancestors feeling empowered to perform their own rituals and spells, research family history, and form a lasting relationship with those who came before.

This monograph examines the belief of the Luo people of Kenya about their ancestors in light of the Christian doctrine of Communion of Saints. The objective of the study is to discover ways by which the veneration of African ancestors can be understood as similar to the belief in the Christian doctrine of Communion of Saints. Furthermore, this monograph seeks to suggest creative ways by which an African ancestral framework can become a point of departure for promoting an authentic engagement between the Gospel of Christ and the indigenous African cultures in developing an African Christian theology of ancestors. A brief background of the monograph may be described as follows. Communio sanctorum, the tripartite Church of the living, the Church in purgatory, and the triumphant Church in heaven, can be compared to the relationship of African peoples with their ancestors, with God, and with nature. The monograph begins with a study of the origins and theological foundations of the communio sanctorum. It then uses the methodologies of qualitative research and social historical research to examine the Luo funeral rituals in order to study the ancestor cults and ancestor veneration that pervade the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. The ancestral beliefs and practices have been construed as both obstacles to the Gospel and preambles to it. In studying the Luo funeral rites, we glean the Luo's attachment to their ancestors. Furthermore, the funeral rites demonstrate the Luo belief that death is basic to the understanding of the significance of their ancestors. The Luo perform the funeral rituals together with other cultural rites to ensure the incorporation of their deceased kin into the ancestral world. The Luo believe that the ancestors, although deceased, remain a part of the community. The ancestors have such a resilient and pervasive role in life and thought of the Luo that a Luo Christian is inclined to think of his ancestor as being with God in the same manner that a canonized saint is believed to dwell in the courts of God. There are also similarities between the Luo people and other African ethnic groups; in fact we can apply some of the major observations and conclusions from the Luo to the other African peoples in order to draw important conclusions for a Christian theology of African ancestors. Early Christian missionaries discouraged African funeral rituals (and many other African traditional customs) and encouraged Christian burial rites. However, Christian rituals alone fail to satisfy the cultural and spiritual needs of the African Christian believers. Consequently the African Christian believers very often publicly assent to orthodox Christian beliefs and join in the denunciations of the ancestor rites, but privately retain their loyalty to their indigenous traditions. Their traditions affords them the means by which they can live in communion with their ancestors whose commemoration they have always regarded as indispensable and beneficial or even redemptive for their earthly existence. This dual or multi-faith practice is a spiritual dilemma that if unexamined may become a problem that stifles the spiritual development of African Christians, weakens the entire enterprise of evangelization and could in the long run hamper the growth of authentic Christian faith. In this study I argue that African ancestral veneration is on par with communio sanctorum. Moreover, since African ancestral beliefs and practices are fundamental pillars of religion for many ethnic groups in Africa, I propose that we use them to open up broad possibilities for defining pastoral strategies responsive to the African Christian believers' spiritual needs. The monograph ends by proposing that if Christianity is to become firmly rooted in the rich African spiritual traditions, certain theological parameters must be delineated to enable African Christians to relate their ancestral beliefs to the salvific work of Christ. Ancestral beliefs and practices can therefore be viewed through a single theological lens that serves as a hermeneutical tool for critiquing Western and Christian hegemonic forces as well as responding to the cultural legacies of colonialism and of imperialism.

Voices from the Ancestors brings together the reflective writings and spiritual practices of Xicanx, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx womxn and male allies in the United States who seek to heal from the historical traumas of colonization by returning to ancestral traditions and knowledge. This wisdom is based on the authors’ oral traditions, research, intuitions, and lived experiences—wisdom inspired by, and created from, personal trajectories on the path to spiritual conocimiento, or inner spiritual inquiry. This conocimiento has reemerged over the last fifty years as efforts to decolonize lives, minds, spirits, and bodies have advanced. Yet this knowledge goes back many generations to the time when the ancestors understood their interconnectedness with each other, with nature, and with the sacred cosmic forces—a time when the human body was a microcosm of the universe. Reclaiming and reconstructing spirituality based on non-Western epistemologies is central to the process of decolonization, particularly in these fraught times. The wisdom offered here appears in a variety of forms—in reflective essays, poetry, prayers, specific guidelines for healing practices, communal rituals, and visual art, all meant to address life transitions and how to live holistically and with a spiritual consciousness for the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Have you ever had an unexplained phenomena - a knock at the door but no one is there; the hairs on your arm standing up, as though you're suddenly chilled; a gradual aroma arising from nowhere; an abrupt noise; a strange sensation on different parts of your body, like someone stroking your hair; or dreams of your deceased loved ones? These are just a few examples of how your ancestors and spirit guides may be trying to gain your attention.Perhaps you've felt empty or unfulfilled at some point in your life. Have you ever wondered if there is something waiting for you beyond your sphere of existence - your friends, your job, your loved ones, your church - do you pray for a deeper understanding of the world around you? Priestess Aladokun was a newcomer to spirituality, but through curiosity, dedication, and perseverance, she has learned to let herself be guided by the spirits of her ancestors. She has studied various schools of spirituality, primarily Afrikan, Latino, and Native American spirituality. She has made many deep connections through these forms of study and worship. Much of what she learned did not come easily, whether through a lack of resources, qualified teachers, or negative energy in her own life that blocked her spiritually. Despite the obstacles, she emerged stronger, wiser and more prepared than ever to guide others down the path paved for us. She has given us "Ancestor Paths." Simply put, "Ancestor Paths" is about ancestor reverence and communication. If you have an interest in spirituality, do not let the complexity of the ideas confuse and discourage you. Do not be disheartened by misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Let Aladokun be your guide to finding your own spirituality, through the veneration of ancestors and the spirits you can learn to access. Let your life become enriched by the knowledge and understanding that "Ancestor Paths" will give you - no matter your race or heritage."Ancestor Paths" is a tribute to all divinities within the universe that continue to guide, bless, and elevate our souls toward higher consciousness and enlightenment. No matter what path you walk, it is the ancestors and the guardian spirits who protect and guide you. This book was written to spread knowledge of how to acknowledge and communicate with your ancestors and guardian spirits on an everyday basis through cleansing rituals, constructing ancestor shrines/altars, suggested prayers, encountering spirits, and fundamental divination. For those interested in spirit contact, this book is for you!
