The Ancestral Witch
Honoring lineage — altars, offerings, and inherited wisdom.
Ancestral witches practice with their people — the ones who came before. Altars with photographs, offerings of food or drink, learning the traditions of your own bloodlines: this is magic as remembrance.
You might be an ancestral witch if: family stories feel like instructions, old photographs move you strangely, and you talk to grandparents who aren’t here anymore.
Three first steps: 1) Set up a simple ancestor altar: a photo, a candle, a glass of water. 2) Learn one story about an ancestor — ask family, dig records. 3) Make one offering with intention: their favorite food, a flower, your attention.
Start with the ancestors you knew and loved. The older ones introduce themselves when they’re ready.
