A Guide to Connecting with Your Ancestors and Healing Your Lineage

• Shares traditional veneration rites and practices for connecting with your ancestors, including cleansing rituals, trance journeys, energy work, and sacred gardening

• Explores ancestral practices of altar building, sacred tools for altars, and how to invite your ancestors to take an active role in intervening on your behalf

• Describes the process of deifying esteemed ancestors and how this practice opens access to special powers for those who share that ancestor's lineage.

By exploring the diverse and dynamic ancestral veneration rites of the ancient Mesoamericans, as well as those practiced in contemporary healing, Erika Buenaflor shows how we can draw upon these traditions to reconnect with our ancestors, deepen our healing journeys, and shape our lives. She explains how ancestors possess sacred energy that can continue in their direct physical descendants, be reborn in the landscape at sacred sites, or manifest in other beings who inhabit the same lands. She describes the process of deifying esteemed ancestors and how this unlocks special powers for those who share that ancestor's lineage.

Buenaflor examines the ancient offerings and sacred ceremonies used to secure the ancestors' help, guidance, and intervention, as well as their well-being and comfort in the afterlife. Bringing this knowledge into the present, she shares numerous veneration rites and healing practices to strengthen bonds with your ancestors, including cleansing rituals, ritual crafting, trance journeys, shamanic breathwork, energy work with past and present lives, sacred gardening, and ancestral altars. She introduces you to the spirituality of Nepantla, the path of reclaiming sacred liminal space, and shows you how you can heal your ancestral lineage and reconnect with your esteemed ancestors—those who anchor you with a sense of belonging to something greater, divine, and beautiful.

Whether you can create a long and detailed family tree or have no knowledge of your grandparents or even your parents, this book offers many ways to connect with your spiritual ancestors, heal your lineage, and receive spiritual help as you reclaim your ancestors and welcome them into your life.
