WHY CLEANSE
Ancestral cleansing is done for spiritual, emotional, and energetic alignment. Different traditions may explain it in different ways, but the core purpose is usually the same:
1. To remove inherited negative energy
Many people believe that certain patterns—misfortune, blockages, emotional trauma, or spiritual heaviness—can be passed down through generations. Cleansing is done to break these patterns and restore balance.
2. To honour and reconnect with ancestors
It’s a way of showing respect, calling on ancestral guidance, and strengthening your connection so their blessings flow more smoothly into your life.
3. To restore personal and family harmony
When ancestral spirits are neglected, restless, or unacknowledged, some traditions believe this can manifest as emotional instability, recurring problems, or stagnant energy. Cleansing helps restore harmony between the living and the spiritual lineage.
4. For clarity and protection
By cleansing ancestral energy, people aim to:
•Clear confusion or blockages
•Improve spiritual intuition
•Create a protective environment
•Strengthen purpose, luck, and alignment
5. To release unresolved past trauma
Some use ancestral cleansing as a way to heal family wounds—things like grief, poverty cycles, broken relationships, or generational pain.
✨ HOW TO USE SACRED ANCESTRAL CLEANSING HERBS  | FULL MOON ANCESTRAL CLEANSING RITUAL
1. Prepare Your Space (The Veil-Opening)
Before touching the herbs, create a calm, sacred environment.
•Light a white candle.
•Open a window to allow the stagnant energy to escape.
•Call your ancestors softly:
“boMakhulu, boGogo—walk with me as I cleanse.”
This step signals to the spirit realm that you are entering sacred work.
⸻
2. Boil the Herbs (The Activation)
Place a handful of the herbs in a pot of water.
Let them simmer until the fragrance fills the room.
As they boil, they release the old energies trapped in your field.
Speak your intention into the steam:
•Release any heaviness
•Cut ancestral burdens
•Cleanse my lineage
•Open my path
⸻
Using the Sacred Guide / Ancestor Cleansing Herbs
1.Boil 1–2 tbsp of the herbs until the water turns potent and aromatic. Strain and pour the infusion into your bath under the full moon.
2.Light a white candle to summon the ancestors who walk in light. Place a glass of water to reveal truth. Set an offering—rum or money notes—for the worthy ones.
3.Step into the bath and speak with authority:
“By moon, fire, and blood,
I cleanse my lineage.
Those who rise in light—come closer.
Those who refuse the light—be released.
Those who drain, deceive, or disturb—depart.”
4.As you bathe, envision the herbal water tearing through ancestral residue:
lifting the blessed, cleansing the willing, and severing the low-vibrational spirits who cannot be healed. Feel the candle’s flame calling forward only those who protect, guide, and elevate you.
5.When finished, air-dry  (The Sealing) Do not use a towel. Let the water dry naturally.
This allows the herbs’ spiritual frequency to settle into your aura. Pour the used water onto soil. Leave the offering overnight for the ancestors who chose to stand with you.
This ritual purifies your lineage, dismisses the shadows, and seals your path with the strength of the ancestors who remain loyal to your destiny.

Take the strained herbs and place them:
•Under a tree
•By a plant
•Or bury them in soil
This returns the “dead” energy they pulled out back to the Earth for transformation.
⸻
6. Final Offering / Gratitude (The Alignment)
After the cleanse, sit quietly for a moment.
Give thanks to the ancestors for their guidance and protection.
Say:
“May my lineage be healed, restored, and elevated.”
You may light an incense or burn impepho as a closing offering.
