Communing With the Ancestors

This book demonstrates how to communicate and make contact with ancestral spirits, including practical methods for seeking their guidance. Raven Grimassi explores the realm of the ancestors and the role of reincarnation in the soul's relationship to ancestral lineage. He explains the interactions between ancestors, the living and the dead and examines how communication with the ancestors is strengthened through various techniques and ritual practices. True to Raven's style, the book will include folklore, legend and superstition surrounding the topic. Shrines, altars and offerings are discussed in detail, ancient practices related to communing with the ancestors are revived and new rituals are provided, including an exercise to lead readers into the "cavern of the ancestors" through guided imagery. Sacred sites, power places, special portals to the ancients, reincarnation and the "restless dead who are still bound to the earth realm" - he covers it all.
