- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book. I've been wanting to engage more with ancestor veneration, but felt lost with how to start or what I should be doing. Researching online, and trying to find scraps on the topic in other books, wasn't really working for me. This book is an excellent introduction for a beginner, and I am looking forwards to introducing her ideas/teaching into my life and practice.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love this book, especially if you just started working with your ancestors
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the exercises and guidance so much, I bought a physical copy. Beautiful book. I feel a great deal closer to family who have passed. Even those I'd never met. Reaching out to an uncle who has been researching our genealogy for years. I didn't "get it," until now.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good overall, with many thoughtful suggestions, and lots of inspiration. I'd given it at least one more star, if it wasn't because of the very obvious contemporary and frequently present political ideas. Me and my ancestors are not about a decade old political ideas. It doesn't interest me, and it wasn't part of either their or my life. It's getting tiresome, not being able to take part of anything created these days, without this totalitarian kind of view. Keep politics out of things where it shouldn't belong.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this book. Engaging, informative. Really useful for everyone who's interested in Ancestor work.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyed the simplicity to understand way to venerate the Ancestors.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've been a choas practitioner for two decades and found this helpful in boosting my practice. Know thyself means know where you come from. Acknowledging not just your direct lineage but also the primordial ooze that begins the evolutionary chain to the human that is you. Good info and entertaining.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the narrator's voice and the wisdom shared is easy to comprehend and apply.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is such a great introduction to ancestor veneration and gives me confidence that there are so many ways to do it that go beyond the examples here.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I will re-read it. I will re-read it. I will re-read it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5superb!!! This Information was quite beneficial for me even though I have been doing ancestral veneration for over 10 years. So much to learn but I am always up for the challenge.
