Re: Ancestor Work
That is an interesting idea.
Part of my problem with ancestor veneration is that...I don't consider bloodline to be all that important in anything other than my genetic makeup for making me who I am. There are people outside my direct family (and even my extended one) that I find far more worthy of veneration. And, tbh, if you go back far enough (particularly if you go forwards on another branch), we are all pretty much related anyhow. I'd (personally) rather celebrate the better parts of humanity as a whole than be concerned with the prolificy (totally made that word up) of my predecessors. Which is why I'd be a lousy Heathen, and don't consider myself one...but yeah--I like this idea.
