Praise
"One of the most difficult hurdles in deepening one's spiritual practice is deciphering how to approach the ancestors when you either have little to no connection to your bloodline or have a fraught relationship with them in some fashion. Mallorie Vaudoise leads the reader deep into the process of ancestral veneration in this modern age, which includes looking to non-blood and even non-human spirits for connection and guidance. She reaches into her own roots and speaks with such poise and true clarity, detailing how anyone—adept or neophyte—may go about forging such relationships. This truly is a pivotal work that will prove critical for generations to come."—Tara-Love Maguire, coauthor of Besom, Stang, and Sword
