I created an Ancestor Essence at my Dad's grave once with a bowl of spring water, roses and infused it with song. We'll be gathering in a circle and practice embodiment, sing a bit and then each create a 2oz tincture bottle infused with the memory & love of a chosen ancestor.We'll share stories of the ancestor and sing their memory into the water. I'll bring some flowers/herbs that we can add as well. Then we'll all fill up our bottles. This essence/potion can be carried with them at all times, a small way to ritualize 'closeness' with the one they are longing for. The essence is also an energetic medicine for grief; filling their hearts with the memory of storytelling and singing the ancestor's praises...
