Ancestral Grimoire

Ancestral Grimoire enabled me to develop a personal and healthy ancestral practice -- a step far beyond simple DNA research and family tree-building. As a lifelong keeper of journals, sketchbooks and such, I was surprised by the new depths of insight I was able to achieve using the methods in this book. Your own grimoire will be the bridge that you build toward your ancestors, but this book will provide the sturdy legs for that bridge. --Stacey Williams-Ng, tarot artist and creator of The Southern Gothic Oracle -- Reviews Nancy Hendrickson thoughtfully leads us through the tarot and oracles to meet our ancestors and dive into our magical lineage. Seeing ourselves through the eyes of our ancestors illuminates a deeper sense of inner wisdom. Each month is packed with meaningful journal prompts and spreads to help us discover parts of ourselves that lay deep within. --Laura Louella, author and editor of Brigid's Light -- Reviews Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn how to construct a personal book of shadows filled with ancestral wisdom. Monthly exercises, divination techniques, and rituals will help readers connect with their ancestral roots to manifest the life they want today. Ancestral Grimoire is a necessary book for tarot readers, magical folks, and anyone who wants to see how the past can create a new, better future. --Theresa Reed, author of Twist Your Fate: Manifest Success with Astrology and Tarot -- Reviews Ancestral Grimoire is written in a way that deepens the practice of someone familiar with ancestor work while 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, author of Will You Give Me a Reading? -- Reviews 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, author of Seasons of a Magical Life -- Reviews Working with ancestors is essential for so many 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, author of The Witch at The Forest's Edge and cohost of the Betwixt & Between Podcast -- Reviews
