What Is an Ancestral Altar?

An ancestral altar is meant to be an intimate and sacred space where you can connect with the wisdom of your ancestors through ritual, reverence, and prayer. As women, we rise on the shoulders of our mothers, our grandmothers, and the long, unbroken line of feminine spirits stretching back to the dawn of creation. An altar gives this lineage a physical home—a place where their love, courage, and strength can meet you, hold you, and nourish your own becoming.

How do ancestral altars support healing?

Whether we realize it or not, our ancestors, particularly our female ancestors, are intrinsic to our healing journey. Their stories and struggles are woven into our own living matrix and can still impact how we live and breathe in this world. By intentionally bringing our feminine lineage into the portal of our altar space, we are gifted with a unique opportunity to align to this subtle web of healing vibration that lives on through us.

Each element you place on your altar is imbued with the energy of your ancestors. In this way, you can break cycles, deepen your awareness, and even unlock dormant gifts that are carried through your lineage.

As you tend to this connection, you will naturally find that healing flows in both directions. This is your opportunity to bridge the gap and invite a natural flow of wisdom that can heal not just your own wounds, but those carried through your lineage.

Now that you’ve made the choice to bring your ancestors into your sacred altar space we invite you to anchor your intention.
