In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druid practitioners, explore the importance of ancestor work, particularly during the Christmas season, a time historically linked to ghost stories and reflection on family and traditions. They discuss the complex layers of ancestral connections—ancestors of land, blood, and milk (found family or influential figures). They address the unresolved traumas associated with colonization, land, and lineage, emphasizing the need for healing and recognizing ancestral legacies without perpetuating harm. The conversation touches on the subtle energies influencing relationships, the concept of soul families, and how seasonal reflection can help individuals assess and "weed" their ancestral garden. Listeners are encouraged to embrace both the hard and joyful aspects of ancestral work, from addressing historical wrongs to preserving fond memories.
