I call out those who came before.
I honor my ancestors among all the spirits.
Spirits of my fathers and mothers, I call to you, and welcome you to join me.
You watch over me always, protecting and guiding me, and I thank you.
Your blood runs in my veins, your spirit is in my heart, your memories are in my
soul.
With the gift of remembrance, I remember all of you.
You are never forgotten, and you live on within me, and within those who are yet
to come.
Light all candles and incense.

"Oh Shining Gods, Oh Noble Sidhe, Oh Mighty Dead, I ask for the elevation of my
family and all my kin. I ask that we all be brought closer to your love, warmth
and light."
"To all my kin, all this I do in your honor, that I may build a closer relations
hip with you. Please look out for me, my loved ones, and my property, protect us
and guide us, and ease our journey through this world."
Now spend some time telling them about your life, your concerns, your ideas and
dreams. Keep in mind that you're talking to your kin among all the Kindreds, Shi
ning, Mighty, and Noble. When you're done, quiet your mind and listen for a resp
onse. After a suitable time, thank the Spirits.
