Help with ancestor worship
Some specific questions are these:
Do you ask any deity (Like Mercury, Pluto or Orcus) to help make the connection or do you think it's enough to evoke the ancestor(s) directly?
If you don't have pictures or any objects that belonged to them, what do you do? I suppose an object that reminds you of them is the best we can do in that case
I know it's possible to pray to one ancestor directly. Is it also possible (and valid) to pray to the "ancestors" as a whole?
3b. If so, how can I do it properly?
When practicing ancestral cult, are you praying to the geniuses of the dead or do you think it's something else?
What do you usually ask for?
Do you do it on a specific date? If so, which date?
If you're comfortable with sharing, do you have any stories about it?
Well, those are the questions I thought of, if you have more useful information that you would like to share, I'd love to learn it! Thanks for your attention
