Ancestor Veneration: How to Honor & Connect with the Dead

To start off this week’s episode, Lauren shares her favorite reads, watches and listens. Topics include two death-focused episodes from the Ologies podcast and a review of Ghostbusters: Afterlife! To not hear any movie spoilers, skip 5:45-9:30.

We then transition into a conversation about ancestor veneration practices and the many methods people use to (re)connect with their family members, friends and role models after they have passed away. Some questions that Lauren addresses include:

What does ancestor veneration mean?
What is the purpose of an ancestor veneration practice? How can it benefit you?
What are veneration rituals, routines and activities?
