My husband and I are looking to set up an ancestor alter and start some ancestor work in earnest. I'm Northern Tradition, and part of his increasingly eclectic practice is Hoodoo. Ancestor work is an important part of both of these paths (and of several others).
I'm interested to know how many others here practice any sort of (non-deity) ancestor work? I know that for some Heathens and Northern Traditioners, the deities are considered to be part of the ancestor system, but personally I separate the two out at this point in my practice. Others don't practice ancestor work at all.
So... do you practice ancestor work? Do you have an altar or shrine? What sort of things do you do as a part of your work? Which ancestors do you work with? What kinds of offerings do you make? Where is your altar/shrine? Do you practice ancestor work beyond a round in sumbl? How important are the ancestors to your personal practice? Share as little or as much as you like...
