Wildheart S8E10: Connecting with our ancestors

In this week’s episode we explore what it means to connect with our ancestors, and be an ancestor.

Why is exploring our ancestors relevant right now?

  • This time of year is associated with the thinning of the veil between the human world and spirit world in many cultural contexts - Pagan, Christian (All Hallow’s Eve), and elsewhere (eg: Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead in Mexico)

  • The festival of Samhain invites us to consider endings/beginnings, release/renewal, looking to the past in order to support the future

  • As we shift from autumn into winter, we also welcome the Sage archetype, our inner wise elder

  • The tree of November on our Rewilding Wheel is the elder

What do we chat about?

  • Ancestors, belonging, and feeling rooted

  • Human and more-than-human ancestors

  • The dissolution of time and the past / future binary

  • Why it’s important to honour those who have come before us
