The Ancestors
Hermanubis was called to open the way and empower the entire Ancestral Series during a prime astrological election for contacting the deceased. Herbs and resins with necromantic and familial properties such as bloodroot, hops, mugwort, star anise, parsley, myrrh, and proprietary others, were combined, prayed over, and suffumigated using Hermanubis incense for the purpose of facilitating general ancestral contact.
This blend was infused in organic sunflower oil, with a portion reserved to create the incense and powder. The rest was used as the “mother” herbal blend for specialty categories within The Ancestral Series — Comfort, Empowerment, and Channel.
This sub-set, simply “The Ancestors”, acts as a primer for Ancestral work and devotions. It builds a bridge between you and your Dead, calling them to the here-and-now, wherever and whenever that happens to be. Use as summons before making offerings, or you can spike them with your own magic to facilitate personal ancestral goals.
To best establish close contact, use these or Hermanubis materia to issue the invitation/ bring all your Dead to the yard (so to speak!). Give offerings or follow up with items from specialized sub-sets to support your desired aims and outcomes, to help you and your ancestors resolve unfinished business, or to work toward specific magical objectives with the class of spirits we call the Dead. Your Dead, specifically.
Pure and uncut herbs, resins, essential oils, metal leaf, and gemstones. No fillers or artificial ingredients whatsoever.

My dead truly fux with this incense. I don’t know how else to put it, I just wish I could grab some more. Clarified and strengthened the connection, in the sense of… we were already on the phone, but the call got clearer. I’m on the waitlist for a reason.
I ordered the Ancestors oil to work through ancestral trauma during a moon profection year, and to connect with my beloved companion dog of many years who’d passed away. This material is *very powerful* as it really knocked me on my ass the first time I used it. But it really is amazing for its purpose and integrated into my altar work and upcoming plans for Samhain.
The presence of The Ancestors powder, along with a few key things on my altar, it having been washed with S+S Hermanubis natron and the appropriate essential oil, helped me get off to a running start with the work on a good Saturn election.
A beloved ancestor actually did me an unsolicited favour later that day that I wasn’t necessarily ready to accept, and I haven’t re-engaged yet!
Thank you for helping with the way-opening, it’s an intimidating magical direction to expand into and using your materia will continue to help me develop confidence with it I believe!
Throughout the year, I collected and dried wildflowers and plants to offer to my ancestors on Samhain, and I mixed The Ancestors incense in with this blend to honor them.
After stacking brush and wood and dressing it with the offerings, I tried to light it, but to no avail. My younger brother was with me and he asked, “Are we cursed?” (Because the fire wouldn’t light and there really was no reason for it not to).
I replied, “If we are, there’s only one person who could be doing the cursing.” And then I said our father’s (who we were abused by and no longer have contact with) name.
Immediately the fire sparked and engulfed all of the brush and offerings.
Essentially, our ancestors confirmed what I knew in my heart. My little brother, who is a fairly conservative christian, was dumbfounded and disturbed.
I asked our ancestors to accept my offerings to them and to break the curse, to watch over us and protect us from any ill intent.
It was a very somber 5 minutes waiting for the fire to die out (like I said, it engulfed everything I’d laid in the burn pile).
But then, when I looked up at all the ashes flying around, I saw how perfectly clear the sky was, and I saw the moon in her fullness, and I was comforted.
I am verh grateful for this experience, and I know that the Ancestors helped make this communication between my own beloved dead and I much easier.
I use the Ancestor incense as part of my writing process, to connect with my literary ancestors and guides. It sparks my intuitive insights and softens the veil between the worlds. So grateful.
I ordered the Ancestor incense and it’s been incredible for connecting with my ancestors. I’ve worked with ancestors for a while, but this series has really increased the depth and effectiveness of my work.
