Ooo, I like the idea of contacting pre-christian ancestors and asking them about the magick they performed. This was great, Colette! Thank you, as always
Thank you, Colette. I greet my well and wise ancestors daily, inviting their loving guidance. I have met my great-grandmother through trance work and it was one of the most significant experiences of my practice thus far.
I recently lost my brother. I have a picture of him next to my deceased cat, on one of my altars. I pray to him every day. I ask him to watch over our grieving mother, for me. In a sense, I ask him to be her guardian angel. I have also talked to him, when I need to. And I do plan to reach out to him on Samhain. I know his passing was recent. He died September 1st, but I'm going to try to connect with him anyway. Thank you for this wonderful, informative video Colette. Blessed be ❤
I am so sorry that you lost your brother and I am so glad that you are working with him. You are right it is soon but he may be available. You never know.💛🖤
Thank you, this is great! I never thought about working with ancestors from a geographic area. I only knew a couple of relatives, who weren’t at all close to me. But my lineage is Sicilian, so I can try to work with some ancestors from the old country. This is exciting!
That's interesting, ancestral healing started here in healing abundance things in my lineage. And they also mention descent of gods... Thanks for sharing
Thanks Colette. I honor my Mother daily, keep a vessel with water and a large candle lit most of the time. Talk to her and make requests as necessary. I know she is protecting me. Cheers
Thank you, Colette. I also would like to honor my dad and my grandmother at this time. Do I need to have a photo of them on the altar? or can I just light a candle for each. Cheers
"our culture (USA) so disruptive by Christianity and is so dysfunctional, we are one the few cultures in the world that does NOT honor our ancestors in some way...." This statement says SO much and is so so true. Once I was able to break away from Christianity and purge its destructive hold on me, I realize how beautiful a natural spirituality is. I was visited unexpectedly by my late maternal grandmother (whom I didn't get to really know on a deep emotional level bc I was just too young) on the night of the Hunter Super Full Moon in Aries this month (my zodiac BTW). She comforted me because my husband passed away in June on our 22nd wedding anniversary from a very aggressive cancer. He was only 49 yrs old. She herself buried her husband in her early 60's when I was 3yrs old. She comforted me and we bonded. I whipped out my Tarot cards and she gave me an uplifting message that I will learn to move on and be able to function within the world again. It was such a powerful experience I will never forget and now I want to set up an ancestor altar for my family members who have gone on before me. This is such a beautiful spiritual practice that is full of LOVE. Thank you Collette. BTW Love to see your natural hair! You're beautiful lady!
Recently I randomly found a pic of my Paternal Grandfather, I lost or threw out All pics of my Family and Childhood last year, so it was odd for this pic to appear. I met my Grandfather a few times as a child . He was kind yo us, and I got my love of rescuing animals from him. My question regards the fact that he was kind of not a good father to my father, he was abusive and he had a Criminal record which I saw staring at 9 years old. He grew up in Harlem, and was a low level heavy for some Italian families. He scared most people and they also respected him , out of fear I think. I have this photo on my Hecate altar, does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not I should try and connect with him ??? I feel compelled to, since we have several similar traits, not bad ones, and seeing that this pic suddenly appeared around the Fall Equinox. ANT Suggestions would be MUCH APPRECIATED !!! Thank You !!!🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello :) Ancestors are very new to me so I don't have suggestions from that perspective, but if you're well acquainted with Hecate, perhaps you could talk to her and see what she says, and if she would guide and protect you if you were to reach out.
@@mistyhelena So interesting you said that, as I put his photo on her Altar, and I asked her if she thought he would be helpful to me . Thank you for letting me know I’m in the right path… 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi, sorry I just saw this comment. I always feel it is up to you. When I'm working with others I do have a protective filter but I have a few ancestors that are on my altar that definitely were question and I try to have compassion for them. I also go by experience of how it feels when they are around. I hope others also have some suggestions.

Thanks Aurora. That's one that I always try to share with my students xo, Colette

I am glad that was helpful Jessica. I bet there is some great food magic from that region.

Thank you.
My great-grandparents were from Orkney, Scotland.
That is great! Scotland has a lot of ancestral magic. Samhain Blessings.
I honor/work with my ancestors regularly. I create a lot of herbal beers and teas which I use as offerings.
I love that. I've never done it but I've always been fascinated by brewing.
This was nicely explained thank you
Thank you Sharon!
I love this ❤ thank you!
Thank you and Samhain Blessings.
Thanks Colette. I honor my Mother daily, keep a vessel with water and a large candle lit most of the time. Talk to her and make requests as necessary. I know she is protecting me. Cheers
Laura that is so great. I'm glad you have a mother who is a good ancestor💛

This is weird. I just notice my name is different on this post. I am Laura on the first reply ha
@@laura2842 Laura, You can absolutely just have a candle for each of them.
Another wonderful video, thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such wisdom. Honors and respect to the Pagan/Magickal ancestors all over the world 🌎 💖 )0(
Yes, blessings to all the wisdom keepers on the otherside from all the cultures

Thank you so much. And I'm so glad you connected with your grandmother and you got such a clear message from her. I'm having fun with my hair.
