A Conversation Beyond Time: Connecting With Your Ancestors
Last week, I created a card spread to help us communicate with our ancestors. I asked myself what questions I would want to ask that were specific to them. So, not “What will the future bring?” but rather, “Who are we as a group?” and “Who am I in relation to this family?”
Of course, I had to test it myself to iron out any possible kinks. And although I did my reading a few nights before Samhain, you may be pleased to know that it worked perfectly anyway. I really don't believe our ancestors have only one night a year to communicate with us—and boy, did they ever communicate!
Everything that came through in the reading made perfect sense and was immediately recognizable. Apparently, as a family, we don't follow the herd. We're a group of self-directed visionaries, innovators, and trendsetters.
And my job in this family? I'm the Keeper of Whimsy.
I was made to follow my imagination and bring a little magic into the world and into my family. Which might explain why I've always loved playing make-believe and still do “silly” things like talking to trees and animals. 😊
There was so much more, including some very good advice. And when I asked whether my ancestors had any messages for me, three cards literally jumped out of the deck. It was like getting a lecture from my mom! 😂
But enough about me. You simply must try this for yourself!
My beautifully designed, eight-card tarot and oracle spread invites you to discover your family's defining traits, uncover inherited gifts and patterns, and seek wisdom and guidance from your ancestors.
The two-page printable PDF includes an illustrated spread and a matching page to record your insights—a lovely addition to your grimoire or tarot journal.
Connecting With Your Ancestors: A Guided Meditation Journey
Cards aren't the only way to explore a connection with your ancestors. Sometimes it's lovely to close your eyes, settle into a quiet space, and simply see what unfolds.
During this journey, you'll be invited to meet your ancestors and discover what defines your family, the gifts and strengths you've inherited, and the role you play within it. You'll also explore ancestral patterns that may be ready for healing, before asking for guidance on a current challenge and listening for any messages your ancestors wish to share.
You can enjoy the full meditation right here, free and without commercial interruptions.
A Little Something to Ponder
Every family has its storytellers, its peacemakers, its adventurers, its dreamers. What role have you played in yours? And is it a role that came naturally to you, or one you've grown into?
