Most of us know our immediate family and maybe even a generation or two beyond, but few of us are attuned to those who lived earlier. Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive. This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins.
Ancestral Grimoire is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It is going to show you how to access their unique wisdom―their magic!―and create your own personal ancestral grimoire, a spell book or Book of Shadows, unique to you and your heritage. Through divination, intuition, and every now and then a little luck, you are going to learn the magic of each ancestor and how you’ll use their gifts to make your life richer and more fulfilling.
As you go through this book, you’ll save your ancestral work in a journal or loose-leaf binder so we can develop into the place to store the stories, spells, rituals, and everyday life, lore, and legend of twelve of your ancestors. At the end of a year, you are going to hold a personal Book of Shadows with every bit of ancestral knowledge within its pages unique to you. No two will ever be alike. In an age when family storytelling has been lost, you are going to have created a legacy―and a life―that the ancestors could only dream of.
‘Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn to construct a personal Book of Shadows filled with ancestral wisdom.’ ― Theresa Reed, creator of Twist Your Fate
‘Working with ancestors is essential for such a lot of witches, and this book offers a unique way to do just that. By following her annual cycle of divination and other suggested practices, the reader can work intuitively to create a scrapbook grimoire of their own magical ancestors.’ ― Christine Grace, creator of The Witch at The Forest’s Edge and cohost of the Betwixt & Between Podcast
‘Ancestor veneration and the work that goes with it have long been a shadowed practice in much of the West, finding its deepest expression in genealogy and family stories. As we reclaim these powerful, helpful connections, it is so important to have information presented in a way that invites us into these beautiful practices. That’s why I am grateful for Nancy Hendrickson’s fascinating book, which is well-written and chockful of practical information. This belongs on your shelf!’ ― H. Byron Ballard, creator of Seasons of a Magical Life
‘Ancestral Grimoire is written in a way that deepens the practice of someone familiar with ancestor work whilst also giving brand-new practitioners a beautiful start. Well thought out and absolutely a delight to use, I could not recommend Ancestral Grimoire more.’ ― Jenna Matlin, creator of Will You Give Me a Reading?
