Who are our ancestors? Are they ghosts of the past, or do they walk beside us in the present? Does their influence echo throughout time and space? Do you feel the love and support of your ancestors, or can well intentioned ancestors hinder us, or even block us from attaining our desires? What if you don't know who your ancestors are, or what if they were jerks? These are some if the questions we discuss in this episode, and while I can't say we have definitive answers, I think I can safely say we have some intriguing ideas that will hopefully spark further exploration and inspire you to discover how you might like to connect with your own ancestors.

My guest today is Mary du Plessis. Mary is an ordained 22nd generation Dragon Gate Monk, a diviner - using  tarot, charms and scrying patterns - spiritualist and a Cabot witch. You can find Mary at her website the-mystics-parlour.ghost.io or on Instagram @the.mystics.parlour.
