Hey I'm new here. I'm from Uganda.
Been watching lots of videos from Olivia on YouTube (great job), but I hadn't started practicing myself. I have two queries however.
1. Could a lack of connection with your ancestors cause you to struggle in life?
2. Does anyone know how I could safely connect with my ancestors without any clues in the physical world?
My family seems to have fractured suddenly starting from my grandfather, so I know nothing about my heritage beyond my Dad. I hope I've provided enough information. Thanks
Hey! I'll answer the best I can!
Nope! It shouldn't cause you to struggle in daily life, if you are practicing a type of witchcraft where you work with your ancestors, then that might be a little trickier, but you definitely do not have to do that! There are instances where a severely traumatic event happens in an ancestors past and it can be 'past on', called generational trauma, but that can also be healed. So in total, not knowing your ancestors shouldn't cause you to struggle in life.
You could try meditation with the intent to reach out ancestors, or try to do genealogy, there are a lot of sites for this! You could also try asking around to family members, but be cautious if it is a sensitive subject. You could also try to incorporate traditions in your family, or from the area your family has lived in into your life. Most of it comes down to trying to research your own ancestors and connecting to them however you feel fit!
I hope this helped!
