Honouring Ancestors
Ancestors – Generation of relatives who have passed. Known/unknown, seen/not seen.
Ancestral Spirit – venerating departed family members spirits that are believed to have intervention powers used in living situations. How many times have you heard "my aunt came to me in a dream".
Sacred Traditions – We call upon the Ancestors’ during libation, blessing, ceremony, prayers and offerings. In Africa there are many festivals celebrated to honour deities and Ancestors through song and dance.
Affirmations – I always call upon the Most-High and my Ancestors for guidance and finish with giving thanks.
Spiritually – Most connect to the Ancestors consciously or unconsciously. Ancestral day to me is everyday. African belief systems are that their souls are alive – in memory, a powerful source of inspiration, guidance and protection.
Ga dialect for Ancestors is blematsɛmɛi
(blema = olden days. tsɛmɛi = fathers).

nh = ankh
The Coptic Ankh or Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for life or: breath of life living – eternal life – key of life – key of the Nile. Other meanings based on the shape have been symbolised to represent fertility, spiritual and the original cross.
_____________________________________________
The Egyptians believed in mortal existence and life after death – that energy of life emanated from the Ankh. Egyptian gods, pharaohs, kings are carved on tombs or pictures carrying the loop at the fingertips or with an Ankh in each hand representing immortality – offering the gift of life.

Ankh are sold worldwide and commonly showcased as accessories, carvings, on bags, household goods.
A few people saw a picture of me wearing a wooded Ankh and asked me what it represented. They actually requested one. I do feel a sense of energy when I wear it as a positive charm.
