Ancestral Magic

From the author of Spells for Change comes a gentle and informative guide to reconnecting mindfully with ancestral practices, healing generational trauma along the way.
Frankie Castanea—aka “Chaotic Witch Aunt”—draws on their own complex journey of ancestral reclamation to guide readers as they consider questions of cultural and spiritual identity, lineage, and belonging.

Emphasizing that any process of reconnection must navigate traumas such as colonization and assimilation, Castanea offers emotional guidance as well as practical advice on topics such as:
• Discovering your individual ancestral practices
• Connecting with ancestral plant and animal allies
• Navigating oral tradition
• Identifying reliable sources of research
• Establishing mentors
