Ancestral veneration is the practice of respecting, honoring, and uplifting those that came before us. It is recognizing your lineage, bloodline and not, that brought you here, that made your life possible.
This is a CRUCIAL practice for anyone interested in interested in practicing magic, connecting to the unseen, taking control of their reality, or looking to heal themselves.
Especially for those wanting to work through larger energetic blockages, these are often generational or ancestral. Practicing veneration allows you to acknowledge and heal this.
FAQ:
Many people do not know from whom they descended. Part of the beauty of ancestral veneration is the ability to build that connection and learn about your ancestors as you go. You don’t need names to begin connecting. Also, bloodline linage is only part of your ancestry. The tree outside your house, the birds in the neighborhood, cosmic multidimensional beings, and even yourself—all ancestors! We will be challenging our colonial concepts of ancestors in this class.
“What if I don’t know my ancestors?”
“My ancestors were bad people and I have a hard time connecting with them. Why would I even want to connect with them?”
We all have ancestors in our lineage who have done harmful things. A big part of this work is confronting how those patterns (whether they are of the victim or perpetrator) continue to show up in you and your lineage. However, when most people ask this question they are referencing oppressive ancestors in their lineage. Ancestor work is decolonization work. This is a wonderful opportunity to address how colonialism has affected you and your relationship to your ancestors. Through this work you can release these patterns from your lineage and take action towards reparation.
“Shosh's Honoring Your Ancestors class was extremely informative and helpful. I love that Shosh describes the ritual and process of connecting with your ancestors in a way that is simple and accessible. I noticed I had been falling into some bad habits in my practice but after the class my ancestral veneration is now more intentional and I've been able to connect to my ancestors with more love and clarity than ever before.”

“The class was incredible and informative. I felt welcome and the energy was warm. I have been on my ancestral veneration journey for a couple years and I was able to learn so much from the class that I can implement into my practice immediately.”
