I descend from a long lineage of women herbalists with European roots on my mother’s side. They were visionaries, healers, and mystics who blended their psychic abilities with ancient medicinal traditions. Even today, they visit me during meditation to share their insights.

The family’s predominant German lineage is something I have delved into for many years, but I recently learned that my forebears also ventured into Scandinavian and Norse lands, indicating a lineage of strong women who were warriors in their era.

This revelation doesn’t surprise me at all; my mother, now 84, can still fiercely defend herself against anyone who treats her poorly! I’ve always known she possessed great strength since my childhood and have consistently admired her fortitude and independence.

I was born in 1966, the year recognized in Chinese astrology as the Year of the Fire Horse. Individuals born under this sign come once every sixty years. It is a rare designation, and legend has it that many baby girls born in certain regions of Asia during that time were tragically deemed too dangerous, uncontrollable, or defiant of societal norms.

My Fire Horse essence sometimes arises, particularly when I feel cornered by someone exploiting or threatening me or my children.

Life may compel us to embrace our inherent strength and advocate for justice. Many spiritual seekers believe that claiming your genuine power or standing up for what is right is ‘unspiritual’ or self-centered.

However, based on my experiences and the remarkable mentors I have learned from, the opposite is true. All my teachers were genuinely kind individuals, yet none allowed themselves to be trampled on by others.

We all possess ancestors, both biological and spiritual, and our lives are deeply rooted in their sacrifices. They are as close to us as our breath and bones, and when engaged with consciously, they can provide immense healing, guidance, and companionship ~ Daniel Foor

This principle is equally valid for our spiritual teachers, like Archangel Michael, a powerful guardian against harm, whom we can summon in times of peril. His presence is always potent and majestic, and he makes no apologies for his strength!

We have access to spirit guides, guardian angels, and protective deities ready to support us, but there comes a moment in our growth when we must claim our own power and fight our own battles. For me, Norse God Thor has been a guiding figure, teaching me to embrace my strength and continues to assist me in advocating for my rights and the rights of others, keeping my inner warrior vibrant.

Throughout the years, I have engaged with rune stones as a source of protection and symbolism. The Runes represent letters in the Runic Alphabet, which served to write various Germanic languages before the Latin alphabet became the standard. The Scandinavian versions, known as the Futhark, were derived from the initial six letters of this runic system.

The Elder Futhark is the earliest rendition of the runic alphabets. This writing system was employed by Germanic tribes for Northwest Germanic dialects during the migration period. Artifacts bearing inscriptions have been discovered from the 2nd to the 8th Century, including jewelry, amulets, tools, weapons, and stones.

Different runic characters etched into stones hold profound power and significance, serving various purposes such as divination, magical manifestation, healing, and, of course, psychic protection. Throughout history, many soldiers had specific runic symbols sewn into their uniforms for safeguarding and ensuring a safe return from battles.

Since time immemorial, humans have created protective signs and symbols to fend off evil and misfortune… These symbols arise from a multitude of spiritual traditions, including Wiccan, Norse, Judaeo-Christian, Egyptian, and others ~ Michelle Gruben

One specific rune, known as Thurisaz, takes its name from Norse God Thor. Thor, the God of Thunder, radiates incredible energy, strength, and a commitment to justice when evoked. Thurisaz or Thor literally signifies “giants, strength, and resistance to harm.”

Numerous ancient spiritual protection practices have been handed down to us from our forebears. Consult your family’s elders and inquire about your lineage’s origins. Ask if there are any significant stories within your family.

Most importantly, to connect with your ancestors for protection, consider reaching out to one of the reputable psychic mediums at Psychic Access for assistance in tracing your lineage back to its roots. You might be pleasantly surprised by who is awaiting you in Spirit!

Embracing the Strength and Guidance of Your Ancestors

Historically, cultures across the globe have consistently valued the practice of honoring and connecting with their ancestors. From ancient civilizations to contemporary societies, the belief in the protective and empowering presence of one’s ancestors has remained a constant theme throughout time.

Ancestral veneration and respect manifest in various ways, encompassing rituals, ceremonies, and traditions transferred through generations. The fundamental belief behind this practice is that by acknowledging and connecting with our ancestors, we can access their wisdom, guidance, and protection.

A vital method for harnessing your ancestors’ strength and protection is establishing a robust ancestral altar. This sacred space acts as a central point for connecting with your ancestors and can vary from simple to elaborate, depending on your preference. You might include photographs, keepsakes, candles, incense, and offerings such as food and drinks to honor and establish ties with your ancestors.

When creating your ancestral altar, it’s crucial to construct an environment that feels sacred and meaningful to you. Personalize it with items that resonate with your family lineage and heritage. By consistently maintaining your ancestral altar and offering prayers and intentions, you can enhance your connection with your ancestors and invite their support and protection into your life.

Beyond creating an ancestral altar, there are numerous methods to access the power and protection of your ancestors. Engaging in practices like meditation, divination, and ancestral healing work can deepen your bond with your ancestors and invite their blessings.

Approaching ancestral work with respect, humility, and gratitude is essential. By honoring and engaging with your ancestors, you acknowledge the sacrifices and contributions they’ve made to your family lineage while recognizing the wisdom and guidance they offer.

During times of need or uncertainty, calling upon your ancestors’ protection and strength can bring comfort, resilience, and direction. Cultivating a strong relationship with your ancestors enables you to tap into a reservoir of support and wisdom that may assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and obstacles.

In summary, embracing the strength and protection of your ancestors is a potent and transformative endeavor that can infuse your life with healing, guidance, and blessings.
