Ancestor spirits

Ancestor spirits in many traditions are understood as active presences rather than abstract memories—entities that continue to shape the living through blessing, warning, or obligation. Honoring them is not sentimentality but a way of acknowledging that our choices and debts extend backward in time, structuring how we move forward.
