Honoring Ancestral Guardian Spirits

A New Moon Rite with energetic cleansing ritual and attunement

Ancestral Guardian Spirits remain in the shadows until we beckon them to reveal themselves. They include Family Totem Spirits, Guides, House and Crop Guardians, and many other spirits, guides, and patrons.

Borne of your ancestral lines in times of need, across generations, these spirits offer support and protection throughout the journey of ancestral healing, shadow work, or reconnecting in more meaningful ways to your family and their cultures and traditions.

Cleansing Ritual

Cast a circle & Light Intention Candle and recite:

This candle is lit with receptivity and respect

We invoke the Guardian Spirits for wisdom to reflect

On a solitary journey or arm and arm

We petition the Guardians to keep us from harm

Whether across the hedge or inwardly deep

The medicine and magick we find are ours to keep

Light the Elemental Candles

We call to the earth who cultivates our roots

You have nourished our ancestors and our fruits

We call to water who clears stagnation

In your depths, we find emotional transformation

We call to air for release and purification

Your changing breeze carries higher communication

We call to fire for protection and strength

You fuel our will, taking our intentions to great lengths

We call to Spirit, authority of the future and the past

Carry us beyond the here and now, our own limits surpassed

Energy Attunement

Place your fingers on your pulse to feel your heartbeat

Close your eyes

Envision an ancestral drum circle

The beating of your pulse aligns with the percussion

…

The drumming starts in the earth, throbbing in your feet, up your legs, and into your root

The thump of the ancestral drums builds to your pelvis and your belly

The percussion may create buzzing, throbbing, or tingling sensations

…

The healing rhythms release stagnation while enlivening your spirit

The beat builds in your chest, up into your throat

…

The sacred cadence of your bloodline expands to your consciousness, elevating your vibration

Become one with the healing rhythms; it is the Divine heartbeat

…

…

Ground yourself with your breath

Slowly reconnect to your body and your senses
