Ancestral Work & Psychopomps
Ancestral Work & Psychopomps
Ancestral work involves connecting with one's lineage to honor and heal generational wounds. Many cultures believe that unresolved ancestral trauma can affect the living, and working with psychopomps can help spirits transition peacefully, ensuring harmony between the living and the dead. Shamans and spiritual practitioners often act as psychopomps, guiding souls and facilitating ancestral healing through rituals, meditation, and dream work.
