Ancestral veneration is not a religion – nor is it worshiping the dead. This ancient and often misunderstood practice is found in spiritualities and cultures all over the world. In the West, our uncomfortable relationship with death has the unfortunate effect of suppressing the natural tendency to love and respect those who’ve gone before. In our culture, the practice tends to be limited to the odd anecdote, heirloom, or artifact. Old pictures under a plastic film in a photo album rarely taken out and explored are the West’s cold legacy of the ancestors.
But ancestral worship has survived the upheaval, seismic change, and persecution for millennia, and is still practiced in many cultures and religions worldwide. What do millions of people know that you don’t? That’s what you’ll discover in this spiritual guide to ancestral veneration.
