    A beautiful journey through death and ancestor veneration
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023*

I was delighted to finally get my copy of author and artist Claire Goodchild’s comprehensive book, The Book of Ancestors, and I can confidently say that Goodchild has outdone herself with her latest work.Goodchild takes readers on a beautiful journey through death and ancestor veneration. As The Book of Ancestors illustrates, this path is immensely personal and may include traumas, both personal and ancestral, known and unknown. However, the reader is never meant to feel frightened or alone, but empowered.Goodchild guides readers through creating their own family history grimoire or book of ancestors (BOA). Not only does she provide information on how to establish a BOA, from the pros and cons of different formats to creating a ritual ink, but she advises readers on how to continually add to their BOA as a perpetual work-in-progress.To help readers create a BOA, Goodchild outlines working with three types of ancestors (blood, community, and archetype). Each ancestor class is thoroughly explained, with information on how to identify and honor them. Not only does she detail more complex actions, like building an ancestor altar, but she includes simpler but no less important methods of ancestor veneration, such as inviting them into one’s daily activities, lighting candles to recognize their birth and death dates, and just living well.In addition, Goodchild explains how to create a family tree to incorporate in a BOA. She includes ample information on both scientific and metaphysical methods, from genetic testing and researching family histories with records available from a variety of sources to rituals and divination (which she goes more in depth with in her first book, The Book of Séances).Goodchild never presumes to know any reader’s experience or situation in The Book of Ancestors. She provides resources for beginners, but also for advanced practitioners. In addition, she offers information for the LGBTQ+, adopted, and BIPOC communities. No one is excluded from recognizing and honoring their ancestors.Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the artwork in The Book of Ancestors. It’s hauntingly breathtaking, and each image is created with care.In short, this unique resource is essential reading for anyone interested in genealogy, death, history, and establishing a working relationship with their ancestors. I can’t recommend it more strongly, and it’s an essential asset in my collection.

    gorgeous full-color and super informative book
  

*by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023*

I absolutely love everything that Claire makes and produces. This book joins my copy of her first one, The Book of Seances, and they pair wonderfully together. Perfect read for spooky season and beyond. Also love that the illustrations are in color. This book is not just a wealth of information but also a work of Claire's art. I can't wait to put the extensive knowledge and exercises into practice!As an aside, I *highly* recommend checking out Claire's Patreon for access to patron-exclusive content and access to freebies + discounts!
