Working with the Family: restoring the connection with the power of the family. Honoring ancestors is the power of the family How to ask spirits for help

Stranger:

We all have ancestors and our own family. Not all women know their roots, and certainly not all women use their help and support (energetically, I mean).

Yes, there are all sorts of ancestors, especially if the family is very large (like mine, for example). And relationships between relatives often develop differently. There are often disagreements, conflicts and outright hostility. This happens from a lack of understanding of what role each of the ancestors plays in the family and how important each relative is for everyone else. Each action of one representative of the clan leaves an energetic imprint on all people in the clan. Female ancestors - through the female line (men - through the male line).

Important to remember, What It is we, women, who necessarily receive by inheritance (in addition to genes) - this is the feminine strength of the entire clan and its support. And the stronger (internally) and more feminine the women of your kind were, the more feminine power you have from birth. Remember how magicians (witches, sorceresses) convey their power? By family, by line (often, but not always). And now I remind you once again that All women have magical power by nature, and everyone passes it on energetically from generation to generation in their lineage.

That is why women used to attach such great importance to dowries, family jewelry, and family customs - these are things through which the power of one owner is transferred to another by family.

And the more of these things there are in the family (given to family jewelry, customs, etc.), the stronger the help of the family comes from them, and the more power will be inherited in the family.

Well, how can you get the strength and support of your family if there is no inheritance, and your ancestors have long been “in heaven”?

In order to receive help of her kind, a woman, first of all, should recognize and accept the fact of its existence. Internally mentally thank the entire clan and individual ancestors (especially your parents) for what they are or were. Forgive them all your grievances (if any). These two conditions are required!

And then you can mentally ask for help and strength of your clan - from the clan as a whole, or from some ancestor individually (here at your discretion). You can ask one time or constantly - as you wish.

The most important thing is your intention! If it is there, the family is already helping you!!!

How do you know that you are already receiving the support of your family and its strength?

Firstly, you will definitely feel it!

Secondly, your quality of life will really improve (personal life, financial well-being, career, health, etc.)!

Thirdly, you will receive information and help from your ancestors through dreams if you begin to analyze them a little and track them for yourself.

Fourthly, things will suddenly (or gradually) improve for your immediate (and distant) relatives! And you, of course, will know about it!

Well, maybe something else)

Yes, I note that not only good things are passed on, many problems are also passed down through the family (by inheritance, so to speak). Especially if a woman is disposed towards this (karmically and energetically).

At the same time, there are quite serious techniques for strengthening the family tree and techniques for energy reporting of the family.

If you practice magic, you can also use them to improve the quality of your life and your family as a whole!

FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THIS

TECHNIQUE “CLEANING THE KIND”

STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY TREE AND ITS REPORT

I wish you and your family health and prosperity!

• 1. TECHNIQUE “CLEANING THE KIND”

Each person experiences the burden of birth up to the seventh generation and is responsible for his ancestors. In turn, ancestors can and should help a person energetically and informationally solve important life problems.

If the genus is sufficiently pure, then its intervention in the fate of the individual will be of a powerful positive nature. If the genus is desecrated, then in addition to working off ancestral karmic debts, a person will not be able to receive the effective help he is entitled to from the “other” side and, on the contrary, will face the problems of his ancestors.

Desecration of the race occurs every time a person commits a grave sin that is incompatible with the integrity of the energy structures of the soul. In other words, the soul of the individual receives a deep breakdown in the energy structures.

This happens during curses, love spells, violent death, suicide, betrayal and other powerful negative events. In such cases, our family tree begins to “rot,” passing this negativity from generation to generation.

It is difficult to cleanse the race, but it is possible. To do this, you need to realize the seriousness of your intentions, draw up a diagram of your family tree up to the seventh generation, choose the right days to perform the technique and be sure that you are starting a very))) important and necessary task, and that no one else is involved in this task except you will do.

The diagram of the family tree is a kind of Christmas tree (by the way, it is not by chance that the spruce became a symbol of the world tree), at the top of which you yourself will be, at the bottom your parents, then their parents, our grandparents, etc. The last seventh tribe will consist of 64 people.

The male part of the gender is drawn on the left, the female on the right. In itself, drawing your tree is already a kind of sacred magical act that allows you to tune in to your Family.

It is advisable to prepare properly, learn as much as possible about your ancestors (what they did, how their lives turned out). To do this, ask your parents and grandparents. All the information collected will be useful to you and your descendants.

First you need to choose the right days on which the technique will be performed. To do this, the cycles of two luminaries are taken into account - the Sun and the Moon, which are closely related to genetics, Rod.

Cleansing of the genus is done three times - on the new moon (1st, 2nd lunar day after the moment of the new moon), on the full moon (14th, 15th, 16th lunar day) and in any quarter of the lunar cycle (7th or 23rd lunar day).

It is better for men to start on the new moon, associated with the masculine principle, and for women on the full moon, associated with the feminine principle..

It is not recommended to cleanse the genus during the square of the Moon for the first time (7th or 23rd lunar day). It is better to clean without interruption for three weeks in a row. If this did not work out for some reason, don’t worry, cleaning can be continued through the lunar month at the desired phase of the Moon.

To perform the technique, you need to choose a time so that no one or anything interferes with you. The time of day is not important. It is important that nothing distracts you or interrupts your work. Therefore, before you begin, make sure that all electrical appliances are turned off, the soup is not boiling on the stove, and no extra electric lights are on...

To work in you will need 2-3 church candles, drinking water, a diagram of the family tree, a pencil or pen, a piece of paper with text and 1.5 - 2 hours of time. Judging by the time it takes to complete the technique, one candle will not be enough. If the first candle burns out, then the next one is lit from it.

Since you will have to read the text aloud, for each ancestor separately (remember that there are only 126 ancestors), you will need water so that your throat does not sore or dry out (any energy work, and cleaning the family is just that, dehydrates the body).

You will need a pencil at the moment when you need to take a break from cleaning your clan (anything can happen), and in order not to lose the order of reprimanding the next ancestor, its square can be marked with some conventional sign.

So, having chosen a place and time for work, you, sitting facing north, light a candle and hold it in your left hand throughout the cleaning. In front of you, place a sheet of paper with a family tree, up to the seventh generation, drawn up in advance. You hold the index finger of your right hand on the square of the ancestor for whom you are currently praying.

You need to start working with yourself. To do this, people who adhere to Christianity (they will need a prayer book, an icon of the Mother of God or the Savior) should read the following prayers in this order - Psalm 90 (it can be found in the list of prayers for various needs, called “prayer read in misfortune”), Psalm 50 and “Creed” (the last 2 prayers can be found in morning prayers).

Anyone who professes Zoroastrianism recites Pathet Fravasham and Akhunvar 21 times. After reading these prayers the phrase is said: “Lord, cleanse all my plans, even the spiritual, amen”.

During this entire procedure, you keep the index finger of your right hand on the square with your name. People who adhere to other traditions can replace Christian prayers with those that they deem necessary.

Instead of saying “Lord,” you can say “Father,” “Allah,” etc. The words and type of prayer are only an expression of your mental attitude, which is decisive.

Whether you use the accumulated energy of this or that egregor or speak in your own words is a matter of your choice. Your ancestors could be of the same or different religions, you can practice their religion or adhere to your position. Therefore, the energy of sound vibrations, although important, is not the main thing in this case.

Follow the order of the report according to the numbering: after you read the text for your mother, then for your father, then for your maternal grandparents, then for your paternal grandparents, etc.

Every generation needs to start telling off from right to left: first the maternal line, then the paternal line. Having reached the last ancestor on the left (paternal line) in a given generation, go to the generation below, and so on from above (from yourself) down to the 7th generation (there are only 64 ancestors in the 7th generation).

For all subsequent ancestors, you pronounce the same text, with the only difference being that you must correctly name the status of your relative; for example, number 18 is my 5th generation maternal ancestor, the mother of my great-grandfather.

When compiling the tree, only direct relatives (biological, those who passed on their genetics to you) are taken into account - mother, father (2nd generation), their parents (3rd generation), parents of grandparents (4th generation), parents of great-grandparents (5th generation ), parents of great-great-grandparents (6th generation) and parents of great-great-great-grandparents (7th generation).

Nowadays, almost no one knows all 126 ancestors, and this technique allows one to overcome the barrier of ignorance. By pointing your finger according to the diagram at the desired ancestor, pronouncing his status, thinking about him, you at the level of thoughts, words and deeds clear the channel of communication with him, establishing the necessary contact.

A hand holding a candle connects you to the “upper” world. If you think that one of the ancestors is special for you, for the Family (either very worthy, or especially guilty), then you can read additional prayers for him that you deem necessary.

With a mental attitude, you should ask worthy, “pure” ancestors for help and support, and for guilty ancestors it is important to consciously voice your forgiveness to them and your readiness to pray for them, so that their problems do not pass on to their descendants. Here is the verbal formula for cleaning Rod.

Text of the ancestor's reprimand

I pray for my ancestor on the maternal (paternal) side in such and such a tribe, the mother (father) of such and such, and I thank her (him) for the fact that she (he) loved and passed on to me traditions from the creation of the world.

I forgive her (him) for all sins, intended or unintentional, that have had a negative impact in my life, and I ask for the purification of all her (his) plans, including the spiritual. ( Eternal memory to her (him) and the Kingdom of Heaven - this phrase is not spoken for living relatives.) Amen.

After the text is read for the last ancestor, final words must be said:.

After completely reprimanding the family for the third time, the next day it is advisable to go to the nearest church and, placing a candle on the Canon at the crucifix, say those final words:“Lord (Father)! Allow my Family to help me solve all my life problems.".

Conspiracy "To strengthen the Family Tree"

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Lord Creator, the Lord Redeemer, the Lord Comforter, came to help me, the servant of God (name), and brought faith.

Just as this ring has no end, so the lineage of the servant of God* (name) from the father, the servant of God (name), and the mother, the servant of God (name), has no end. Just as a tree has strong roots, a strong trunk and red fruit, so our family is strong, strong and red. Just as a tree stands firmly in the ground, so the men in our family are strong and strong, smart and healthy, hardworking and caring, savers, not wasteful, always sober, good for business. And the women in our family are healthy and fertile, beautiful and stately, smart and handy, keepers of the hearth and performers of God’s commandments.

Just as life on earth does not end, so our family does not end, it constantly continues, in every family of the family there is peace and harmony, every hearth is rich in children, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, grandchildren, sisters and brothers. On each one my prayer is God's Blessing. A seed from a fruit is a tree from a seed, the clan is closed into a ring, life in the clan continues. I praise and remember my ancestors, I pray for my children and grandchildren. You, Lord, bless us, extend our family to the seventh generation, illuminate the servants of God with God’s grace (list all relatives). Glory to Thee, Lord, Glory to Thee. You are the fulfillment of all good things, my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only one who is most merciful, Lord, Glory to You!

Place the ring on the table.

Take three sips from the vase. Listen to the sensations.

When the candles burn out, read a prayer of gratitude. For example, like this:

Prayer of thanksgiving

Holy Beginningless Trinity, I thank You for hearing my prayer and always coming to my aid.

Mother, Lady of Kazan, I thank you for your help in strengthening the Tree of my family.

All saints, thank you for your help in my matter.

Glory to Thee, our God, Glory to Thee!

Place the ring on the ring finger of your right hand. Listen to your feelings again.

Place the family trees in the Goddess or simply hide them behind the icons.

Drink three sips of the spoken water daily for 15 days in a row.

There is such a practice - going to the Family, to your ancestors. It is important to know who they were, to feel their support. If you are married, then you can go to your husband’s clan - and his clan can give you advice and support. How to get the power of the Family? Ancestors can give advice, give gifts, sometimes unexpected. You can also give gifts to them. For some reason I once gave them honey...

Ask what interests you. Ask for advice and help. If you have a close connection with one of your ancestors, ask them to come. If you were in a quarrel with someone, ask for forgiveness. After this practice, the situation will begin to change. Sometimes some signs, answers to questions, ideas come a few days later. Someone will say: “I imagined everything myself!” If at first it is difficult to accept Rod’s help in this form, consider that you pulled it out of your subconscious.

I combine similar practices with Reiki, but you can do without it. In any case, there is no need to be afraid.

How to establish contact with Rod

We sit down, eyes closed. The knees are bent, the legs are not crossed, they “grow” into the floor like roots. The back is straight, the shoulders are relaxed, the head is “suspended” by the crown, and the crown is directed into Space. We take a few breaths and exhales.

Introducing our Ancestral Space. You stand in the center, on the right is the father, on the left is the mother. Look at your mother - what expression she has on her face, how she looks at you. Say in your mind:

"Mom I love you! Mom, I accept you! And I thank you for having me, because thanks to you I was born. You gave me life.”

You can feel mom responding. Feel the streams of unconditional love flowing between you, expanding. Feel how your mother’s condition changes. Tell her mentally:

“Mom, forgive me, I love you! I thank you for giving me life.”

Now look at your father. Tell him:

“I thank you for giving me life. I thank you for everything you have done for me.”

Perhaps his facial expression changed, became softer. Feel the flow of unconditional love between you.

Look around: behind the father are his parents, and behind the mother are her parents, and so on, until the founders of the Family. Feel your Family behind you. Tell:

“With gratitude for the gift of life, I embrace and bless my entire Family with love.”

And hear how the whole Family says this phrase with you.

Imagine a red and pink ball in your chest filled with unconditional love. It gradually grows, flooding parents and grandparents with love, it grows and floods the entire Family with the light of love. And we feel how Rod responds to us with love, we are the beloved child of Rod, we feel how we are filled with this love. It penetrates into the navel area - the place where the soul lives. And behind us flow two streams - love from the maternal and paternal lineages. We are speaking:

“I accept the power of my Family with gratitude and love.”

It’s as if two wings are growing on you, you’re about to take off. And we remember this state of wings behind our backs - the support of Rod.

Slowly open your eyes, returning to reality.

Rod's support for wish fulfillment

Voice to yourself a question to which you want an answer, or a situation in which you want to receive Rod’s support. For example, you want to open your own business and you know that your great-grandfather had a thriving business. You can immediately go to him for help.

We close our eyes and breathe with our bellies with the depth and frequency with which we feel comfortable. We see ourselves in volcanic rocks and begin to go down. We see mom and dad young and ask for their blessings to make our wishes come true. Let's go down a few steps - we see mom and dad very small, we see their parents - your grandparents. We ask for their advice, blessings, information to make our wishes come true. We go down even lower and see small grandparents, and next to them great-grandparents and people from your Family up to the 7th generation. They start hugging and kissing you because you are an extension of them. Ask them about your desire, get help or support. Listen to what they have to say. They can give advice or some object of power. Hug and receive their support and love.

We go down even lower and see a green or pink lake. This is the Lake of Love, which contains the love and power of the Family, which is passed on from generation to generation. You dive into this lake and drink in the love of Rod. When you're full, you float up. And you feel the power of unconditional love within yourself.

You come out of the lake and see the exit from above, and above you there is a blue, blue sky and a bright sun. You take all the gifts that the members of the Family have given you, take all the support and rise to the surface along with the gifts. Maintaining a state of quiet and calm happiness, you find yourself in the present, open your eyes, you are here and now.

now you have a Rod that gives you resources and wisdom to strengthen the Rod.

Why a cave? You can come up with your own image, but be sure to have an entrance and an exit.

We kindly ask readers to stay tuned for site updates. Very soon you will learn how to make a love potion with rosemary.

In the Vedic tradition, Saturday is considered the day of remembrance of ancestors, in addition to some specific days of the calendar. Today is Saturday (while I was researching, it was Sunday). Not the point, for some reason I wanted to remember this today.

Before turning to this topic, I would like to say that our family, even those who have left this world, at least up to the 7th generation, stand behind us and provide us with support. Well, at least that's how it should be...

It is not for nothing that in the old days our ancestors kept the memory of their family. After all, not only aristocrats and royal families had the concept of a family tree. If you remember, in old Russia, even among simple peasants, the surname of the clan was often passed down from the ancestor by his name. That’s why we have so many Ivanovs (Ivan), Sidorovs (Sidor), Prokhorovs, Matveevs, Ilyins... Or it was a surname associated with the occupation of their ancestors - Kuznetsovs, Kuptsovs, Sapozhnikovs, Portnovs. And people remembered their family, stories about their ancestors were passed on from father to son, from son to his son... It is unlikely that this was just a whim. People had this knowledge that the clan is its protection.

Of course, everything has changed now. No wonder there is a proverb: "Ivan, who does not remember his kinship". When the foundations of our state were collapsing, it was beneficial for the Bolsheviks for a person to forget his clan, family, and fight only for an idea. And in principle, they succeeded in many ways. How many people now even remember the names of his great-grandfathers? But we need to remember, if only because without them we wouldn’t exist.

There is such a thing as ancestral karma. And for us now it is rather negative karma, but not because the family is cursed or someone in the family has sinned. How can our ancestors help us if we don’t remember them? If we don't pray for their souls if they made mistakes? Are we not grateful for our lives? Many people now simply don’t even have time - we are constantly participating in the race for survival - how to become more successful, how not to be late, how to earn even more, how not to lose. But in principle, we have already lost a lot. And, perhaps, the help of our kind will be more effective in solving any of our problems than relying only on the “mighty” ourselves...

Of course, for many it is now almost impossible to restore lost ancestral ties. But it is believed that if you turn to an ancestor, even without knowing his name, his soul still understands that it is about her. And it doesn’t matter that perhaps this soul already lives in another incarnation. We are all connected by thin invisible threads. Like God, he is both one and multiple at the same time.

Sometimes the question is asked: how can the contradiction between the doctrine of reincarnation and the doctrine of the need to honor ancestors be resolved? Indeed, at first glance, it seems that if a person’s soul has incarnated into a new body, then honoring him as an ancestor makes no sense (how can he accept veneration if he is already in another body?). Different spiritual people give different answers to this question.

Firstly, the soul does not necessarily reincarnate immediately after death. It may take quite a long time before the soul accepts a new body.

They also point to the existence of the concepts of “collective memory”, “celestial twin”, “parallel self”, which remains in the energy field when the soul is reincarnated. Sometimes it is interpreted to mean that it is not a literal entity. These are our actions in our past lives, which live on like shadows of the past or like our memories and the memories of others.

Remember and honor your family and over time you will feel inexplicable support, strength, confidence, wisdom that came from nowhere, answers to questions that pop up from nowhere, as if you just knew about it before. Try it, don't skimp on love!!!

Words are words, but how can we do this if we are untrained? I tried to find information from different sources. Everyone will subconsciously choose for themselves what suits their soul. Any tradition has the right to exist. In any case, this article will be read only by those who need this information. I myself, quite recently, just out of the blue, had a question about my gender. Grew up literally out of the blue.

When I started getting interested in this, I thought, what can I find? Who thinks especially about their ancestors these days? There were and there were. It turns out I was wrong, this has always been an important component in all cultures. These are just a few examples, but there are also China, Japan, Egypt, etc.

• Slavic Vedas.

On the Days of Remembrance of Ancestors and Parents' Days, which you can find in the Calendar (Old Russian), you can remember the Ancestors.

To do this, place bloodless (not animal) food on the home Altar - demands and gifts - pancakes, pancakes, cookies, fruits, nuts, candies, honey, jam, etc. It’s very good if you prepared the recipes yourself.

For example, when baking pancakes - the first pancake is for God on the altar, and the second is for the Ancestors. The rest are for the elderly and children, then for themselves. Because by preparing food personally, you invest “your Soul”, your energy, therefore, by remembering the Ancestors with such food, you exchange energies with them and give them your strength so that the communication channel does not dry out, and so that they have energy so that you help.

The demands are placed on the Altar with the following words: "Heavenly Family, Progenitor! You, the Patron of all Clans! Remember all my Ancestors! Who are in Your Light Svarga! Now and ever and from Circle to Circle! So be it, so be it, so be it!"

The altar is placed in the far left corner of the room from the entrance. (In one of the articles I read that an altar for commemorating ancestors (or just a place for remembrance) is installed in the southern part of the room, which is very similar to the Indian Vedas, since in their tradition the South is ruled by Yamarazh - the God of Death.)

• Orthodox Church.(note that this is where I started - in Orthodoxy, parent's day is also Saturday!!!)

The Church established days of solemn, general, ecumenical commemoration. The memorial services performed at this time are called ecumenical, and the days on which the commemoration is performed are called ecumenical parental Saturdays. In the circle of the liturgical year, such days of general commemoration are: Meat Saturday; Trinity Saturday; Parental Saturdays of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks of the Holy Pentecost; Radunitsa; Dmitrievskaya Saturday; The day of the beheading of John the Baptist; Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. On these days, people were supposed to visit deceased relatives in the cemetery and invite them to a festive feast. They believed that the dead, having received an invitation, came to houses, sat down at tables, ate and drank with the living, and stood in church for the festive liturgy.

• Indian Vedas.

There is a huge amount of information about veneration of ancestors. Pinda, Shraddha... You can find it yourself on the Internet. For me, the most concise, simple and realistic information at home at one time was the information sent to me by one wonderful girl Lena Gufranova, which I am now sharing with you.

Practice at home.

To carry out the practice you will need: a church candle, a pack of rice, spices, two new plates. It will not be possible to eat from these plates. Mark them - one will be for offering food to God, the second - for the Ancestors. In the future, store them separately.

• Get up in the morning, perform ablution and put on clean clothes. The kitchen should also be clean.

• Set the rice to cook and while it is cooking, read prayers over it. You can't taste the rice. When it is cooked, add ghee, black sesame (poppy, cumin or other black spice), a little salt and sugar. Let the rice cool.

• Then form the rice into balls the size of a walnut and place them on a clean plate, which must be placed in front of the image of God for 15-20 minutes.

• Offer food to God.

Here are the prayer options:

• Prayer for offering food in the Christian tradition:

"Lord Jesus Christ, our God, bless us with prayers for food and drink. Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy Saints, for blessed art thou forever. Amen". (And cross the food 3 times).

• Vedic mantra for food offering:

"Namo Om Vishnu padaya

Krishna prestaya bhutale

Srimate bhaktivedanta

Swamin iti namine

Namaste Saraswati Deve

Gaura Vani pracharine

Nirvisesa-sunyavadi

Pashchatya desha tarine

Nama maha vadanyaya

Krishna prema pradaya te

Krishnaya Krishna Chaitanya

Namne gaura-tvishe namah

Namo brahmanya-devaya

Go-brahmanya-hitaya cha

Jagad-dhitaya krsnaya

Govindaya namo namah."

Wait 15-20 minutes until the Lord sanctifies your food.

• Then place the rice balls on another new plate to offer to the Ancestors. Place it in another place, light a candle and say: “I invite members of my clan to come and partake of this food.”. In this case, it is advisable for you to stay in the room and for 20-30 minutes just sit and pray in your spiritual tradition.

• Then thank your family: "I thank you for taking this food. I want to thank you for my life! I am a part of you! I want to show you respect and honor by asking for your blessings and asking for help (say what you are asking for). Let these prayers express our gratitude and respect!" Then bow. Let your appeal to your ancestors express your gratitude and respect!

• Attention! Then, before sunset, you need to feed the fish or black crows with these rice balls. Cooked food should not be eaten by living people and should not be thrown away.

This will complete the practice.

Important Notes:

• Practice with maximum concentration!
• You cannot do the practice on critical days.
• The practice has great power if several women of the Rod do it, for example, you and your mother, or your sister, or your daughter.
• You can cook a little rice, or you can cook the whole pack. The more animals you feed, the better.
• Pregnant women can do this practice.
• Please remember you are a woman - a mystical creation of God! In your hands is the opportunity to create a strong strong family that will be a reliable support for you, your children and grandchildren!

This is a deep practice, it is advisable to do it several times. Many of our families have inspired us to become who we are today. By positive or negative deeds, our families created our lives, just as we create it now for ourselves and for those who come after us!

• Catholic traditions.

All Souls' Day in the Roman Catholic Church is traditionally celebrated on November 2, following All Saints' Day (November 1). On this day, in many countries of the world it is customary to go to the cemetery, light candles, decorate the graves with greenery and flowers, and have a common family meal (at home, since eating in cemeteries is strictly prohibited).

• African traditions (the text is given with abbreviations and has not been tested by me in practice).

The souls of the dead in African traditions are called differently. There are different types. Usually, Eguns are considered the Spirit of the Ancestor (regardless of a relative or not, because we may not know who our relatives were in past lives or who we were and where we lived). Eguns are blood and religious relatives.

In this tradition, there is such a thing as the Shrine of the Ancestors (Spiritual Altar, Corner of the Eguns).

The procedure for honoring Ancestors can be presented in the form of four main stages:

• Preparation of the Shrine of the Ancestors.
• Preparation for veneration.
• Veneration procedure.
• End of the ritual.

Preparing the Ancestor Shrine

First of all, you need to install a table (or other “foundation” of the altar - a shelf, cabinet, etc.). Cover it with a white cloth. He recommends washing it with a little vinegar, then drying it in the sun and lining the altar, sprinkling the fabric with your favorite perfume. Tradition advises finding four stones near the house, cleaning them with salt, washing them thoroughly and placing them in the corners of the altar.

Next, you should place photographs or portraits of the Ancestors on or near your altar (for example, on the wall behind the altar). You can drape the wall behind the altar to make it easier to attach images. It is generally accepted that your altar should not contain any photographs of living people.

You can place on the altar objects of worship of those religions that your Ancestors followed (Holy Scriptures, images of Deities, etc.). Place a white candle on the altar. It is recommended to put a little earth taken from near the house and a few grains of salt into a glass candlestick, wipe the white candle with pure vegetable oil from the middle to the top, and then, from the middle to the base and, having strengthened the candle in the candlestick, place it in front of a glass of clean water. You can add fresh flower petals to the glass.

Honoring Ancestors requires regularity. You don't have to do this every day. You can commit to honoring your Ancestors once a week, for example. Once you have established the frequency of your rituals, you must strictly adhere to your commitment.

It is necessary to keep your Shrine perfectly clean. Do not let the water you offer to the Ancestors evaporate. Do not allow spoiled food to be on the altar. Regularly wipe dust from images of Ancestors and other items on the altar.

Note:

Even if you don't have an Ancestral Shrine, you still have the opportunity to honor the Eguns. By placing a food offering on a plate and dedicating it to the Ancestors, you can be sure that the Ancestors will receive this offering. You can spill some water directly on the ground and this will also be accepted by the Eguns.

Preparation for veneration

Cleansing yourself and Sacred Space.

Purification is a necessary stage of preparation for the veneration of Ancestors. The importance of this stage is due to the fact that uncleanness, firstly, offends the Spirits, and secondly, it can facilitate the penetration of malevolent Forces.

Identify yourself and pay tribute to the Spirit of the Ancestors: (your name) and (your Ancestors are mentioned, starting from your parents, etc.).

Bless the leaves as you prepare them for smudging, honoring their Spirit.

Ask for peace, stability and wisdom.

Give thanks.

Your emotional state should not include negative emotions (anger, hatred, etc.). At any stage of the contact establishment procedure, starting from fumigation, etc., you should be concentrated on the activity being carried out and the ultimate goal of your actions.

Fumigate the entire room thoroughly. Make sure that the smoking smoke penetrates into every part of the room where the Ancestral Shrine is located. Smoke yourself, first from the front (from head to toe), and then from the back (from head to toe).

Take a glass of clean water. Add some of the perfume you use, as well as some of your saliva. Say:

"I pay homage to the Ancestor Spirit."

((your name) and (your Ancestors are mentioned, starting from your parents, etc.))

I am (your name) a child of (origin).

Bless the water.

Using your left hand, sprinkle the entire room with this water, concentrating on this consecration of the space. Before sprinkling, name the names of those Ancestors with whom contact is undesirable, and the reasons for their exclusion from this ritual. If you do not know the names of all your Ancestors, simply mention that you are removing from your sacred space the Spirits of all Ancestors who died violent deaths, suicides, criminals, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc., and do not allow them to invade this space.

Before the start of the ritual and after its completion, it is recommended to take a bath, or at least sprinkle yourself with water from a large bowl, which should be placed near the altar.

Veneration procedure

• Summoning the Ancestors.

IN At the beginning of the ceremony, you can ring a bell or shake a maracas. She also recommends lighting a candle and, if possible, vanilla or coconut incense.

Various texts can be used to invoke the Spirits of Ancestors. Perhaps some of your Ancestors will want to hear appeals from the Holy Scriptures of the religion they professed (Bible, Koran, Torah, Vedas).

It is appropriate to make a libation of water here. The liquid can be sprayed directly from the mouth onto the Ancestral Shrine, or one can dip a finger into the liquid and allow the moisture to drip from it onto the ground. After calling, you should name the names of all your Ancestors known to you (starting from the recently deceased, etc.): (name of the Ancestor), after the name you can add the life achievements of your Ancestor.

By calling on the Ancestors, you not only invite them to your Shrine, but also honor their memory in this way. After invocation, you can sing songs in honor of the Ancestors (you can use the texts of the Psalms, verses of the Koran, mantras, etc.). You can dance (without crossing your legs).

Now you can make the offerings.

• Offerings to the Ancestors.

Offerings to the Ancestors can include any food that you eat yourself. Every time you start eating, before eating yourself, you can offer part of the food to the Ancestors, placing it in a plate (cracked plates are often used) on the floor in front of the altar, or directly on the altar (all food offered to the Ancestors must be without salt!) . He advises placing food in the form of a circle, and placing a candle and liquid food in the center. She recommends touching the plate to your forehead, heart and crotch and breathing on the food.

Offerings also include drinks. When offering drinks, place a few drops on the ground.

Fresh flowers can be used as offerings. When you learn to make contact with Souls, your Ancestors themselves will tell you about their desires, which, of course, should not be ignored.

Water, candles, and other non-perishable offerings are usually changed once a week (often on Friday or Monday evenings).

The traditional Egun offering includes nine small pieces of coconut with palm oil and Guinea pepper on each piece placed on a small plate around roasted corn, dried fish and jutia. Honey is poured on top.

• Dialogue with Ancestors.

After making the offering, thank the Ancestors for the blessings you have received. Here, as at any other stage of communication with Souls, you can use either your native language or the language spoken by your Ancestors.

Having called the Ancestors, ask if any of them have come and if they have the desire to speak. If the answer is yes, find out the name of the Ancestor, listing them one by one. If the Spirit refuses to respond (and in all other cases where you lose control of the ceremony), you must end the session, extinguish the candle and take a bath.

Having found out the name, you can begin the dialogue. First, ask for blessings in your native language.

Ask about the Ancestor's wishes. He may want you to make some kind of offering (not necessarily food). If it is within your power, satisfy the desires of the Spirit immediately. If this is impossible at the moment, but realistic in the future, promise the Spirit to fulfill the request within a specific time frame.

After this, you can present your pressing problems to the Spirit and ask for his help in resolving them. Try to ask questions in such a way that Spirit can answer yes or no. Keep in mind that not all Ancestors are advanced enough to offer good advice. If the Spirit cannot help you, or his advice is objectively impossible to implement, thank him for his help and try to find advice from another Spirit.

Caution must be exercised when communicating with Spirits. If your sessions are constantly infiltrated by malevolent Spirits, or if cases of possession occur to you, it is better to stop the sessions of invoking Spirits, and begin to use your altar simply as a place of reflection, meditation.

• Completion of the ritual.

When you finish sprinkling at the end of the ritual, pay homage to the wisdom of the Ancestors three times.

Finishing the ceremony of veneration, you need to indulge in reflection for a while about the power and wisdom of your Ancestors, their life and meaning (you can touch your rosary at this time), and then thank them for their wisdom.

After this, extinguish the candle with your fingers or a special device for extinguishing candles. Pour the water from the bowl used for sprinkling away from the house.

Leftover food the next morning can be left at the foot of a large tree. Leftover offerings should not be mixed with your household waste. Plates, cups, etc. need to be cleaned with salt and put away until next time. They cannot be used, like any other items of the altar, for any purpose other than to honor the Ancestors. Over the next few days, observe your intuition yourself. The ancestors can give you their guidance through them.

• Muslim traditions.

I searched for information for a long time. All references are only to the worship of Allah. Then I found an article... Excerpt from it: “There is no doubt that our ancestors were from among the righteous people. It was they who, having accepted Islam, took upon themselves the difficult burden of calling for this religion in our lands and spreading its light. Many historical facts testify to their fear of God, courage and greatness. That is why they have numerous rights over us. We are obliged to follow their example in what is consistent with the pure religion of monotheism and ask Allah for forgiveness for them. They achieved greatness and power only because they strictly followed the canons of this religion, adhering to monotheism and the Sunnah. They were far from polytheism and innovation, as well as everything that, at least in the distant future, could lead to it."

One of the most important and major reasons leading to polytheism is excessive veneration of ancestors. Moreover, this phenomenon was the main reason for the appearance of the very first polytheism on earth.

One of the imams of the Hanafi madhhab, Shukri al-Alusi (1342 AD) said: " Excessive worship and exaltation of any of the creatures is the greatest reason leading to the worship of idols and the righteous. It was the excessive exaltation of the righteous that became the reason for the people’s worship of Nasr, Sua”u, Yagus and others among the people of the prophet Nuh (Noah). Christians also began to worship “Isa (Jesus) precisely for this reason". See "Masail Jahiliya" pp. 71-72."

But I didn’t stop there. Don't they really respect it??? I have friends in the Muslim faith, and they gave me the answer: " In the Muslim faith, they give sadaqa (alms) and pray for the souls of the departed."

Therefore, no matter where you look, in any tradition, apparently in the subconscious of a person this ancestral memory still lies... It’s time for us, Ivans, who do not remember our kinship, to learn to pay this tribute of veneration, and someday in our hour they will remember us too, and we We will also help our family at a completely different level of consciousness...

I wish peace, prosperity and goodness to your family!!! With love!!!
