Additional information
by Asanee Brogan (Author)
Ancestor veneration is an essential part of African and other traditional spiritual practices. It is at the core of indigenous spiritual beliefs because our ancestors are the core of our DNA. Sadly, the practice of ancestor veneration has become lost or forgotten within certain cultures due to the impact of non-traditional spiritual belief systems. But all is not lost.
You can still have the wisdom and guidance of your ancestors in your time of need. You can still honor them even if you did not grow up in a culture where ancestor veneration is part of everyday life. Connecting with your ancestors is as simple as extending a heartfelt invitation and opening your heart with gratitude and hopeful expectation.
The second edition of this book has been updated to include the following:
- The ancestor elevation section has been revised to include practices from the Ifa tradition out of Yorubaland, Nigeria
- A section about special considerations when venerating your ancestors with your family, as a woman, or when traveling has been added
- The section about divination tools and techniques has been expanded to include descriptions of easily-to-use self-divination tools
- The cover of this edition likewise pays homage to the ancestor veneration according to the Haitian way. The image depicts a Haitian woman kneeling before her ancestor's offerings as she performs a liminasyon.
