bRING YOUR ANCESTORS INTO THE MIX
We don't only inherit the looks and traits of our ancestors, we inherit their talents, gifts, and their setbacks. So many times I see rituals online that don't involve bringing them to the table. Your ancestors and guides want you to fulfill your destiny and to receive all of your desires. Checking in with them first allows you to get a better understanding of what you need to do to release blockers and unleash the power inside of your body. This also engages them in the process so they can intercede by searching collective consciousness for willing participants that align with what you want to manifest. You can do the below ritual within 3 days before or 3 days after a new moon.
What you’ll need!
- Journal
- Paper
- Pen
- Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
- Rock or stick from outside
- Cup or Bowl of water

Ritual Steps

- Cleanse your space, the bowl of water, and your body with the sage bundle
- Speak your intention over your bowl of water and place your hands in the water
- Rub your hands all over the forehead, top of the head, and back of the neck.
- Say three times. My head supports me in any new intentions and desires that I set forth this night.
- Call in your ancestors and guides and ask them to assist you
- Say: Ancestors and guides that are well, courageous, and that reached your fullest potential. I call to you now to help me understand who I am and why I was born. I ask that you counsel me at this moment. Let me know what gifts I have and let me know what stands in my way of achieving my destiny.”

- Go into deep slow breathing ensuring that your diaphragm and lungs are fully inflated with every breath. While you are breathing, begin drawing a picture of the new moon with the Sagittarius glyph (see below)
- Make two columns. Ancestral blockers and Ancestral gifts
- Gaze at the picture for 5 minutes and allow your ancestors and guides to download your inherited gifts and blockers. Write them down as they come.
- Finally, Get your pen and paper, and begin writing the next chapter of your story. How do you want the next chapter of your life to go? The chapter can span the next few weeks, the next month, or even the year. Write down all you would like to happen, and all you would like to feel. You are the main character in your story, so what journey would you like to take on next? What resolutions would you like to create for your life moving forward? Consider what you learned from your ancestors and guides.
