“Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn how to construct a personal Book of Shadows filled with ancestral wisdom.” —Theresa Reed, author of Twist Your Fate
 
Most of us know our immediate family and maybe even a generation or two beyond, but few of us are attuned to those who lived earlier. Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive. This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins.

Ancestral Grimoire is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It will show you how to access their unique wisdom—their magic!—and create your own personal ancestral grimoire, a spell book or Book of Shadows, unique to you and your heritage. Through divination, intuition, and sometimes a little luck, you will learn the magic of each ancestor and how you can use their gifts to make your life richer and more fulfilling.

As you go through this book, you’ll save your ancestral work in a journal or loose-leaf binder that will become the place to store the stories, spells, rituals, and everyday life, lore, and legend of twelve of your ancestors. At the end of a year, you will hold a personal Book of Shadows with every bit of ancestral knowledge within its pages unique to you. No two will ever be alike. In an age when family storytelling has been lost, you will have created a legacy—and a life—that the ancestors could only dream of.

Your ancestors hold the key to your future, but how much do you really know about your past? Just knowing some of your family’s stories―where you come from and what makes you who you are―and working with those narratives can bring about positive change and help you feel empowered on many levels. Join best-selling author Kirsten Riddle and learn how to heal yourself through ancestral ties, and channel familial superpowers to manifest what you need now. Discover how to meet your ancestors and communicate with them through nighttime dreams. Learn about ancestral karma and uncover your inherited beliefs, often carried down through the generations subconsciously. Create an ancestral altar to honor and work with your ancestors. Be supported with ritual and practical techniques using herbs, crystals, candle magic, talismans and much more, all found in the Ancestral Magic toolkit.
