In this episode, I welcome Teagan West back to Moon to Moon to explore the invitation of "living emergence" and its connection to ancestral traditions.

This is an incredibly powerful conversation that felt electric to both of us at the time.

We discuss how colonial agendas have disrupted natural lineage connections and the importance of re-establishing these relationships through ritual practices. We examine various aspects of ancestor work, including the creation of ritual altars, the role of offerings and music in guiding ancestors, and the need to address and heal ancestral wounds caused by colonization. We also talk about contemporary approaches to ancestral connection and the value of ancestor circles as a way to learn from each other's experiences and rebuild traditional practices in a modern context.

Teagan West (she/they) is a Ritualist, Astrologer, Artist and Ancestral Lineage Healing Practitioner on Haudenosaunee Land, home of the Seneca Nation. Her work exists at the intersection of Ancestral Reconnection, Cultural Repair, Astrological Storytelling, and Community Ritual. Teagan is passionate about recovering Animist ways of relating to Earth + Sky as a vital form of decolonial remembrance, reweaving our collective cosmologies through communal vision.

Teagan devotes much of her personal time to land tending, lineage stewardship + animist ceremony, as well as creating ritual tools such as Drums, Rattles, and Ceramic Altar Vessels. She offers Astrological Readings, Mentorship, and guides Ancestral Lineage Healing in both 1:1 and group spaces. Her Substack is home to weekly readings, teachings + storytelling!
