How to burn ancestors money to honor and connect with your spirits.

Here’s the proper way to burn ancestor money to honor and connect with your spirits. Follow these steps with intention and respect:

1. Prepare Your Space

• Find a quiet, sacred space where you won’t be disturbed.

• Set up a fire-safe container like a cauldron, metal bowl, or fireproof dish.

• If possible, light a white or ancestral candle for guidance and protection.

2. Write Your Name & Date of Birth

• Using a pen or marker, write your full name and date of birth on each piece of ancestor money.

• This personalizes the offering and strengthens the energetic connection.

3. Set Your Intention

• Hold the money in your hands and take a deep breath.

• Speak your intention aloud or in your mind. You can say something like:

“I offer this to my ancestors with love, gratitude, and respect. May it reach you and bring blessings to my lineage.”

• If you are asking for specific guidance, state your request clearly.

4. Burn the Ancestor Money

• Light the edge of the paper and carefully place it in the fire-safe container.

• Allow it to burn completely while visualizing your ancestors receiving the offering.

• If multiple bills are being burned, add them one at a time, not all at once.

5. Close the Ritual

• Once all the money has burned, take a moment to thank your ancestors.

• If you used a candle, let it burn for a little while longer or safely extinguish it.

• Dispose of the ashes outside, preferably near a tree, to return the energy to nature.

Additional Tips:

• Burn ancestor money on significant days (birthdays, death anniversaries, or special rituals).

• If indoors, ensure proper ventilation and fire safety.

• Feel free to add offerings like water, incense, or a small plate of food if guided to do so.

This is a sacred exchange. Trust that your offering is received and that your ancestors are guiding you.
