This is so helpful! I've felt called to work more with my ancestors this year and I want to have a dedicated space for them on my altar so I can connect with them more easily. Thank you so much!
Grand Risings & Wellness to you and all. I thank you for this tutorial. I have watched it numerous times on different occasions. This is one of my go to’s as I’m answering the call to create a space for my ancestors especially since they were kind enough to provide space for me. May your ancestors be proud & bless you & again I thank you so much. Ase’
@Sunnybrooks Hi! this was was extremely helpful. I don't have an ancestor altar however I've been guided to by one glass cup the other day. Currently I'm at the beach and found one white feather. To be honest believe I low key have an altar because My mother recently transitioned (9/2020) and I have the plant she gave me, one of her white candles, a picture of her sitting together. Wow.. and recently I believe I've been hearing my mother want food. If anyone knows her they know she was a foodie! Lol awesome information 💚💚💚 BTW, I was guided to speak to my ancestors on my dad side who I don't know because I don't have a relationship with My dad. Again your video gave me encouragement knowing that I'm on the right track.
I was definitely guided here you did amazing thank u I would love to see more on purpose of alters as well I resonate with everything u said thank u ❤️ 🌬
I put together my ancestor alter today in my window I added a mirror bc someone told me that it would keep uninvited spirits away thank you for your videos
@@zakeyaedison4002 no it didn't work out they did not like the windowsill I moved them to the top of the shelf and it's been great since then I removed the mirror
just a couple questions. when/ how often are you meant to set up an altar for your ancestors? how do i find my ancestors? do i have to have two altars? (one for me and one for them) Thank you
@@zanzibarjones896 do you have a tip on how to communicate with them if you have no possibility to know who and from where they are and if you are still not that psychic /intuitive, or dream that often? It got a little better over time, but it's still not that far. I often have a slight feeling that they are here and I made a candle for them and have a fresh glass of water, but I would like to give them self made incense cones or cookies or something, somehow that idea suddenly came up almost like an urge but I don't know if that's me or them. Could that be them trying to tell me that they like that(is that a thing?) ? Or can I use a pendulum?
Hey there I have quite a few questions. I really want to know how I find out who my ancestors are? How do I honor them? How do I ask them to guide me? I currently have an alter that I meditate at however I want to build a connection to my ancestors. It may sound odd but I feel them but I don’t know who “they” are and I want to honor them in the best way that I can. Please help
This has been helpful for me. Thank you. Can you do a video on what to do with offerings after you use them on the alter. Like how long would you keep food on the alter and how you would dispose of it. I have heard different things. I’m thinking maybe it’s how you are led, but would like to know your thoughts
Thank you for the information. My question is this, I read that you don't want to set up your alter in your bedroom, my bed room was my first choice because no one comes into my bedroom usually. Is it ok to set it up in my bedroom. Oh, my apartment is such that I would want to keep my alter private, so is it ok in my bedroom?
I did that to my uncle whom passed and we didn’t like each other. I would honor my ancestors and say except for him. I even cussed him out one time in my prayer. Well a few days ago as I was burning ancestor money, I was urged to burn a note for him and to forgive him. I cried and also ask him for forgiveness.
i think it depends. if you just didn't like each other it is different than if they abused you. eventhough they might have changed/grown in death so i would try to find that out. but in the end do what is good for you!
Great Video! Should the candle always be lit while your home. I normally make an offering , sit and talk then snuff it out. But I’ve been seeing that people just leave the lit even when they are not at their altar
This video was extremely helpful! For the alter do we put of pictures of the ones we connect with that are guiding us or just of those we know of that have passed? I’m just confused about that part. Thanks!
I believe you can, also jewelry and items of clothing. They will tell you what to use or if you guess, you'll usually find out if you made the correct choice. 🖤
hi sunny I was wondering if I can take my ancestor altar down on the day the lady that comes to clean the house comes because she's not into anything magical and touches my stuff and acts weird when she sees sage or anything in my room. (I live with my parents)
and then put it back up after she leaves... I just don't feel comfortable with my personal stuff around her (because like I said she touches our stuff and her vibe changes)
Can you get a cabinet that opens and closes? Just close it and tie the doors shut when she's around. Or something similar like a box you can leave open, but close when she's around?
So glad i've found your video. I've been called to finally set up my personal ancestor altar. However, I live with my parents and don't have much space in my room and I worry that a family member would tamper with my altar. Should I just go ahead and create the altar in my room anyways?
So you said it’s okay to place an altar in a drawer? What places are considered a no go for placement of an altar? I started one in a chest and if that’s okay should it remain open at all times?
I don't know anyone past my real grandmother on my moms side. Hers is the only picture I have. But i was wanting to set up an altar and i was asked what kind of altar. Never knew there were all different kinds, but i want one I can come to for prayer, meditation, to gain clarity, connect with my ancestors and get guidance. But how can I put what they like when I do not know who they are? I did an ancestry DNA kit but it just narrowed down my nationality
I know this video is old. I dont know if you will see this.. if my shelf is already white should I still have a cloth? I’m not drawn to having one so I’m assuming that’s a no. But everyone I see always has a cloth
Is it okay to have an ancestor alter dedicated to more than 1 ancestor at a time? Ex: my grandma and her mother in law [my great grandma] or should I keep it consistent with both of their pictures or alternate?
I heard we should not put ancestors on the alter if they passed tragically or suicide. Im not sure it was suicide or not but loved him and want to honor him. Is that ok?
personally i like to leave it there for about a few mins/hours depending on what kind of food it is and then eat it so my ancestors could partake in the spiritual essence and so i can take the physical essence of the food
i want to create an alter and connect with my paternal grandmother, i’m concerned about connecting with a spirit that isn’t her, is that possible? if so what do i do about that.
My ancestors said thank you because I was so stressed on how to make an alter and you made everything so simple . Now I just have to start my altar!
same here girl !
As someone struggling with identity I've been looking into contacting ancestors and this is very helpful
Thank you for this. Have been stressing about how to do this and my ancestors have been getting tired of my shit 😒
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m struggling with the same
Thank you for this ! It’s Juneteenth today and i really want to honor my ancestors ❤️
Your so right ....cause one time my phone was smacked off my stick when I tried to record it!!!
Great tutorial, I'm about to make my first ancestor altar this fall, very excited ❤
Same!

Hey! Check out all of my ancestors videos on my channel, I answer all of these.
I just placed a order🙏🏾💖👍🏾 I wanted a couple other item's, but they were sold out. Thanks for sharing, working on my altar
How long do you leave up your offerings? What do you do with them after they've been accepted?
if it’s food, once it’s stale or looks like they’ve touched it is when they’ve accepted it. then dispose it in nature.
@@zanzibarjones896 do you have a tip on how to communicate with them if you have no possibility to know who and from where they are and if you are still not that psychic /intuitive, or dream that often?

@@zanzibarjones896 thank you very much, this really helps 🙏
I have crystal Queen to on my ancestors altar as well they love them I love u thank you.💖💖😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much for this video! I was completely clueless on how to get mine started.
Love this it definitely helped me to know everything i needed for my alter what else could i use to represent earth other then crystals
How do you connect more with your ancestors??
I have some pics of anestors but don't know what some of them like. What do I do??? Thank you for your time
you can probably give cultural things and ancestor money
Ask them in meditation 🧘🏻♀️ & they’ll tell u what they want
Hey Sunny-
So happy I’m here
Thank you so much
Thankyou really interesting
Thank you ma'am.
Thank you for this video.
How do you know if you leave food or drinks out that they accept it or not ? And how often to put something out
Thank you queen ❤
You're welcome
Thank you sooooo much! This helped me beyond words! Thank you!
Black is pure

Ask who passed away in your family
I wanted to know the same
Oh my gosh every time I have a question I find your video. Something has been telling me to set one up on my bar...now I know how to go about it
How do we know if they don’t like it
How do i get in tune with my ancestors?
Yeah my question too
I reached out to mine through meditation.
Thank you Sunni!
Wonderful
I just received my order from you all today. Thank you SO much!
You are so welcome!
This has been helpful for me. Thank you.

Thank you..I know what to do now🥰
What do you do with the food when you change it out?
Thank you for the information. My question is this, I read that you don't want to set up your alter in your bedroom, my bed room was my first choice because no one comes into my bedroom usually. Is it ok to set it up in my bedroom. Oh, my apartment is such that I would want to keep my alter private, so is it ok in my bedroom?
As long as your intentions are good, you are fine. Thank them and let them know you are setting up the alter with a great heart.
Very informative video peace and prosperity and joy
thank you! you made it so simple I didn't know where to start!
SUPER HELPFUL. X
So glad! Thank you
Thank you 💫
You are so welcome
What if you have a very specific ancestor you don't want to honor because of who they are or what they have done? Can you leave them out?
I did that to my uncle whom passed and we didn’t like each other. I would honor my ancestors and say except for him. I even cussed him out one time in my prayer. Well a few days ago as I was burning ancestor money, I was urged to burn a note for him and to forgive him. I cried and also ask him for forgiveness.

Great Video! Should the candle always be lit while your home. I normally make an offering , sit and talk then snuff it out. But I’ve been seeing that people just leave the lit even when they are not at their altar
That is not safe to leave a candle burning. Simply snuff it out and relight upon coming back
Or, maybe use an electric candle when you're not around?
This video was extremely helpful!
For the alter do we put of pictures of the ones we connect with that are guiding us or just of those we know of that have passed? I’m just confused about that part.
Thanks!
Me too. I hope someone answers
I think it all depends on your taste, but I do like that idea.
Can ancestors share alter ? Do you have to have separate!
I just gotta know something... where did you get those beautiful pants from?! Love em
prob the thrift x
Thank you appreciate you
Lowes/ home depot have them. It looks like a Succulent
@@Yourcareertherapist she said pants not plants 😂
I’m starting my alter today. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wonderful!
how did it go
My gma passed 5
Months ago I have all of her fav things collected should I add it to the altar or just keep it simple with the candle and her picture?
You are fabulous ❤️
So very helpful thank you.
Hey how are you ? I really appreciate your demonstration I was wondering if I have my mother’s ashes can I set those on my alter
I believe you can, also jewelry and items of clothing. They will tell you what to use or if you guess, you'll usually find out if you made the correct choice. 🖤
This was a great video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you put it in your bedroom directly opposite from your bed ?
absoutely ! spiritual energy
how would you clean the altar if needed?
How do you know what your ancestors like?
Thorough, thank you 🙏🏾
hi sunny I was wondering if I can take my ancestor altar down on the day the lady that comes to clean the house comes because she's not into anything magical and touches my stuff and acts weird when she sees sage or anything in my room. (I live with my parents)
and then put it back up after she leaves... I just don't feel comfortable with my personal stuff around her (because like I said she touches our stuff and her vibe changes)
Can you get a cabinet that opens and closes? Just close it and tie the doors shut when she's around. Or something similar like a box you can leave open, but close when she's around?
How do you know/learn what they like?
I need to know too
Same here
Same
based on what they liked during life, you can ask for signs, meditate ect
They tell u I guess
Very nice.
So glad i've found your video. I've been called to finally set up my personal ancestor altar. However, I live with my parents and don't have much space in my room and I worry that a family member would tamper with my altar. Should I just go ahead and create the altar in my room anyways?
I am going to use my desk's drawer and for the frame I'll probably just use a small tin box or something like that. Hopefully that's helpful 😃
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Verry helpful...thanks
So you said it’s okay to place an altar in a drawer? What places are considered a no go for placement of an altar? I started one in a chest and if that’s okay should it remain open at all times?
This was great 😊 thank you ☺️

Trust YOU and YOUR guidance. If its not resonating then don't make yourself do it because others are saying so.
Is it okay to have an ancestor alter dedicated to more than 1 ancestor at a time? Ex: my grandma and her mother in law [my great grandma] or should I keep it consistent with both of their pictures or alternate?
Why are you not supposed to use crystals? Because I kinda like the idea of using spirit quartz...
I love those pants tho wear did u get them ?!
ty❤️ btw i love the pants, where are they from?
Thank you for the context very helpful just subscribed!
My ancestors are pissed at me & telling me to get my shit together 🤦🏻♀️ this helps q whole lot. Thank you so much
What about burning joss paper or hell notes? Thank you
@@zanzibarjones896 thx
Our ancestors made us for a reason to live forever thru their seed. I'm a reincarnated child of my grandfather my family told me this I didn't assume
Where did you buy your table from?
How often do you change the tobacco and rum?
I heard we should not put ancestors on the alter if they passed tragically or suicide. Im not sure it was suicide or not but loved him and want to honor him. Is that ok?
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️🙏🏾 I follow you on ig! And I’ve bought some things from you. My fav right now is the gold $100 bill. GOD BLESS
Awesome! Thank you so much for your support
What about the energy on the other objects?
Thank you 🙏🏾
What do u do with the old offerings?like food etc. Do u just throw it away
throw it out once it appears tocuhed/stale , they will partake in it energetically
personally i like to leave it there for about a few mins/hours depending on what kind of food it is and then eat it so my ancestors could partake in the spiritual essence and so i can take the physical essence of the food
Can I ask how long you leave offerings on the altar and what you do with a food in a way that's giving reverence to both my ancestors and the food?
Hey check out my other ancestor videos I go into details over in those videos
i want to create an alter and connect with my paternal grandmother, i’m concerned about connecting with a spirit that isn’t her, is that possible? if so what do i do about that.
Hey! So how did you get into this? And what the purpose of setting up an ancestral altar? What are the benefits? Who are you worshipping?
Thank you so much this really helped a lot!!!
Thank you for this video
This was very informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!♥️
How long should you leave an offering of food?
love you
Hi, which crystals are best?
Best video I’ve found in this thank you so much
