Uhhh okay every time I try to reach out to my ancestors they either ignore me or are just straightup mean/negative
“Don’t make my ghost coffee! I’m a good Christian, leave me alone!”
And when I go back more than 3 generations on the white side of my bloodline, they’re all racists. Kay.
I need to stop casting such a wide net, and contact individuals who are actually interested in hanging around
I hope you don’t mind me adding onto this post, but it poses a really great point.
This is really common and something that a lot of people don’t warn about when suggesting that people try ancestor work. Ancestors can be downright malevolent. Not everyone had great families. Even more than communication, they can cause ill intentioned supernatural events when contacted.
It’s always a good suggestion to start with specific family members and work your way forward (or back). Use the connection from one family member to another to gain trust.
Agreed. Best to start with ancestors you knew and had a good connection with while alive.
I once kept a crucifix for one of my grandmums, but she didn’t like it for some reason. I thought she had been Catholic (my grandfather is, so I just assumed). I asked my dad about it: Protestant.
I find, the more we talk with our ancestors, the more they understand. They still want that connection to their family, and once they realize that you are that connection, they chat with you more.
As for racists and abusers and that jazz, I go through a process of “washing the dead” to cleanse them of these sins. It’s hard work, and we have to bring that work into our everyday lives. We can’t just leave them to continue influencing our descendants with racist rhetoric floating around in the spirit world.
On the other hand, don’t call up your abusive mother, for example, if you aren’t ready to deal with any demons you had with her. That, too, is part of our underworld work. They live in the blood.
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.
The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.
He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.
And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude – well, that is no more than he is owed.
He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.
Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.
So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.
Who gave you the RIGHT?
Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.
Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…
okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?
Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years.
Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.
Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.
Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.
Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.
And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.
Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.

LGBT people can be in messy relationships where there is screaming, crying, and angry nights.
LGBT people can hate their exes and be in toxic and/or abusive relationships.
LGBT people are people.
Having a messy breakup, hating your ex, etc. isn’t some “hetero bullshit uwu”. It’s people bullshit. People can get angry, petty, jealous, etc. and LGBT people are no different.
We are human. We make mistakes. Our lives aren’t perfect. Our relationships are not always perfect.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
Cause it’s pride month this is relevant.
Leave abusive, toxic, etc. relationships. It isn’t “heterosexual bullshit” to leave a toxic relationship or have a messy breakup. If a relationship ain’t working don’t make yourself stay because ya gay.
Shout out to people who haven’t seen their dads in a long time
Shout out to people who choose to cut their dads out of their lives
Shout out to anyone who had to take the place of their own father figure
You don’t have to celebrate fathers day if you don’t want to. And if you do, there are people who love you. You are all so strong and deserve a wonderful live. You aren’t a bad person for not celebrating fathers day.
I have my own bank account now. I’ll set up PayPal later but I DESPERATELY need help getting out.
He tried to deny me medication. He is verbally and financially abusive. I have an emergency bag. I just need money to leave by Jan 5.
Gas will be about $150 if I don’t fly. If I fly, our ticket will be about $300.
Food will be about $100 – I will be feeding myself and my 18 month old. Mostly fast food.
Lodging should be about $50.
And I may end up needing emergency money for crazy unforeseen stuff.
I have already sold my instruments, and am planning to sell my wedding stuff (dress, shoes, and accessories). I may also sell my Nintendo Switch and my copy of Super Mario Odyssey IF it is safe. I also plan to sell my desktop computer IF it’s safe to do so. I will be talking to some women at church on Sunday as well and I have contacted a shelter in the state I plan to move to, and will call an LDS bishop when I get there. It is NOT SAFE for me to stay in my current state.
Please help me! I don’t want to live like this anymore.
Cassie helped me when I left my abuser and her situation is pretty similar, mostly worse in the emotional department, from what I’ve seen. I can’t afford to help her the same way she helped me. This is all I can do. Please help her and the Little One get out!
