Common Terms in an Ancestral Practice

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with not only me but to collective community of other souls that are looking to connect with you and your ancestors. Something that I hope that you are able to feel throughout the blog, website is the feeling of embraced wholeness and support from the souls that you share not just an emotional connection but also a biological connection.

Over the last year, I have been creating elements of an Ancestral Tarot based course. Life likes to change and plans like to change and while we are still building this program, I wanted to go ahead and offer it’s bones for free to my community. So as we are able we will be introducing new concepts, projects, workings and the like for you to try and experiment with.

This week, we are going to take some time to catalogue what we know. Lets start with a common layer of terms.
