Ancestor worship seems like superstition until your mother passes away. Then you start building a shrine.

She’s spot on, one of the few who articulate it as should, it’s always been about communion as it’s all existence, their push back was & is centred on sustaining colonial lineal thinking, resulting control, restrictions, authority hence they attempt to subjugate nature/fluidity.

Christianity is ancestor worship. It’s just they’re worshipping somebody else’s ancestors.

I personally believe that they knew exactly what it was and have kept it under wraps because it has implications for all human beings, I am biased towards there being a direct means of communication, as I have taught to some, but cannot say much on this

Africans should understand that ancestral communion isn't the practice of witchcraft.
