My ancestors have told me what they want on the altar. I just started a couple of weeks ago and they guide and direct me to what to add and where to place it. They are so loving and patient and definitely have a sense of humor.
Lol sometimes I buy something or find something, place it on the altar *either as I’m cleaning the altar or rearranging it* and they tell me they want it and It becomes there’s. This includes plants, crystals, decorations, etc.
@@happyzombiikitti I get that too. I had a runner under my tv in my room and they told me to put it on the altar when I was first setting it up. Then they told me they wanted a white one. When it came in I took everything off to clean with Florida water and put it back together. I commence to taking the runner back to my room. They exclaimed - where do you think you’re going with that? I told them I thought y’all didn’t want it anymore since I got the white one. They were like we want both. We had a big laugh about that. The way they said it and my response was hilarious! Gotta love them!
@@deenajones2002 i am Native American so i have more of a cultural altar mixed with ancestor. I don’t use white cloth or follow this Santeria tradition, but my grandmother from my moms side did this practice. I’m just trying to find ways to honor her in some way.
1) White cloth 2) Water goblin (in the center) 3) Candle holder (safety) 4) Add water to goblin to the top (for clarity, flow, catalyst for the spirirt) (and for people who read water) 5) Unique something to 'anchor' the altar (a spiritual item) based on your tradition, i.e., Muslim, Buddhism, Christian, etc. OR use The Ankh to represent the God force 6) Tobacco offering (corn pipe or cigar) 7) Espresso cup and saucer (coffee) 8) Sweets/candy 9) Picture of your ancestors OR write their names on a piece of paper ***NO living people in the picture 10) Staff or walking cane (use to tap on the ground to call your Ancestor) 11) Libation (clear liquor or liquid) 12) Noise maker (bell, rattle, maraca) P.S. DO NOT erect an Ancestor Altar if you are not going to maintain it!
Beautiful energy. Informative, helpful and simple guidance to follow. Wish I could put up an alter but leaving up to “maintain it” feels challenging at my point in time. I pray for a home to call my own with space needed for everyone to just, be.
This is AMAZING!!!!! I have been in search of something to replace the crucifix at my boveda for some time because I simply do not identify with Christianity AT ALL but as a 31 year priestess of oshun in the Santeria religion, the crucifix at the boveda is all I know... I am totally replacing it with an ankh and I am sooooo excited about it!!!!!
I am Native American but my mom is taína! My grandmother was an espiritista who worked with saints, so is my mother, but ancestors personally don’t like that for me nor does it call me. Instead I have feathers, rattles. Native American regalia. Im trying to find something to add for my Taino roots, maybe the anhk is the answer as well!
Take it as a huge sign of respect, you are the chosen one in your bloodline to reignite that connection with your ancestors and raise awareness amongst your living loved ones ❤
Okay okay I see, The ancestors at my alter are loved ones passed on, I literally give them what I would give them in real life. Fruit, tea, sweetie, porridge or whatever.

I truly love you. Thank you so much for helping me get right with my Ancestors Altar. This is new to me. I haven't had anyone in my family to teach me these things. I do have my personal reasons for starting the altar. You have a new customer follower and a subscriber. I pray that you can help me be better in servicing/honoring my Ancestors correctly. Thank you
It’s great you share this information. I was initiated under palo & my godfather never took an interest in even coming to my house. Not sure why he even committed to my initiation. Once my father passed I was left without a guide & I sometimes feel like giving up what I have. However in those times I sometimes find comfort in helping someone who needs help & my faith is re-energized. It’s truly amazing.
I want to add my estranged father to my altar. He left my life when I was very young but I still feel a very strong connection to him especially after speaking to my half siblings who expressed to me the last few years of his life he expressed wantung to find me but felt too much time had passed and didn’t want my rejection ( he died when I was 15). How would I incorporate him or even know how to let his spirit know I love him and want his presence? I have pictures of him. I appreciate your help
You could put a picture of him on your altar and something he liked like if he smoked cigars, you can put that. I'm not a specialist in this or nothing. I was just thinking of some things that cold do. I put things my lived ones liked when they were alive and picture of them on my altar to represent them and to remember them. Write a letter to your ancestors in red and tape it to the bottom of your candle.
Yet another brilliantly informative video so full of such essential knowledge and wisdom! Thank You for shining your light so brightly to light the path for the rest of us! God Bless
I have had most of the things requested on my family altars without even knowing what was needed. Feeling this closeness to them and having the knowledge almost makes me want to cry, but I appreciate this knowledge.
I LOVE your Energy and Sunny Disposition....11 thumbs up as I chime in....That's a Synchronicity for me, and I didn't want to interrupt the flow, so here's my thumbs up....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You have such a presence! Thank you for this 🙏🏼 been doing a lot to clean up and change up my alter a bit hoping to move into a bigger space in the fall and just can’t wait to really devote proper space for them! Love the idea of noise makers

I need to get some more stuff and that detox tea works really good im my ezema 😂 i thought i was gone pass out i added more burdock root in my tea but these tips really did help me w my alter they been around they have me a lil bit of a problem when i reaclaimated my my alter i always pray all day over them and my home my children are enjoyimg watching amd helping me to keep the alter space clear so they stay th away from it but they will make sure they bring me all yhe lottery tickets they find or collect from other people as Ancestor money and they love that all them numbers are their money so i acclaimate that type of stuff beer Liquor i dont drink but my alter does people who dont understand think im crazy 😂😂😂 I LOVE IT A Thank you Elemi i hope i spelled it right i appreciate the teachings
This was so very insightful & extremely helpful. I'm literally just starting my spiritual journey & I will watch every last one of your informative video. I've also subscribed to your newsletter! Thank you!
I recently put a bell on my alter I hope they enjoy and recognize that as a noise maker. And I have a cinnamon broom at the alter for them I haven't got a staff yet
I have pictures of my ancestors on my prosperity altar and Venus altar. On the Day of the Dead I make a small altar on a silver tray with tobacco incense, sugar skulls, white tealight candles and water
Altars are so personalized and unique due to it being dedicated to someone and no two people are alike. Think of that person and give them what they used and liked when they were alive.

Thank you very much. I have been doing this unconsciously ever, but today I met you and listen to Yeyeo Botanica and I realize how I have been negligent being out of knowledge. I wish to be able to read you or listen to you again and again. Thank you. Take care. God bless.
Look at God I’ve been adoring her and there was a botanica thst was so hard to get into due to covid and their open times!!! Just realized this is the place I was just at omggggggg god is amazing
I'm mixed indigenous and you have helped me out big time and they brought me right to you , they've been wanting a revamp and you brought up some great things and points and I greatly appreciate your wisdom and teachings , thankyou so much ❤ Happy new year 🎉
,Hi I enjoy watching your videos and learned about things that I wasn't aware of about ancestral alter so I thank you for the information, I don't really know much about my father side of family I don't know my grandmother are my grandfather because they passed off long time ago but I know my mother side they're too much drama on my mother's side too much negative people but the little that I know about my father's side there are nice people they all died before I was born
Thank you! I love my altar and this reminds me to freshen it up a bit. I have the issue of my 2 year old eating food offerings sometimes😊. When I tell her she should leave the food for the ancestors, she looks sad and says, "sorry ancestors."
I kept setting my alter up and it just did not feel right. I finally found a spot that feels good it’s amazing the feeling that comes over me when I sit and look at it.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! There is alot of conflicting information out there and I was confused. Thank you for clearing up alot of confusion.
this was so so helpful omg. my grandmother was SO into santeria and requested that i carried this on for her and when she passed i've had this need and want to delve more into it. thank you so much :D

Can you put a urn with their ashes?
@@santiago3453 I do. I have the ashes in a very small dish with a top.
@@santiago3453I have my mothers ashes on my alter
The altar should most definitely be anchored in the religion of your ancestors. It’s about them and what they believed.
Thank You! 🌺🙏🏾💚
I use the cards you get at funeral homes for my alter. Good use for them.
Beautiful energy. Informative, helpful and simple guidance to follow. Wish I could put up an alter but leaving up to “maintain it” feels challenging at my point in time. I pray for a home to call my own with space needed for everyone to just, be.

Indeed it is.

Hey hun OmoYemoja here yasss... When I saw the Ankh I was like Oooooop I need 4 of them

Perfect, what I needed to hear. Im the only one left of my family.
Take it as a huge sign of respect, you are the chosen one in your bloodline to reignite that connection with your ancestors and raise awareness amongst your living loved ones ❤
This definitely gave me more confidence in setting up an altar. Thank you so much, Asé!
