Podcasts about ancestors

For the James Beard Award–winning writer and culinary historian Michael W. Twitty, kitchens provide a multitude of significant purposes that stretch far into the past and carry through to the present. Beyond being places where people cook, share, and eat food, they also serve as vital spaces in which to gather in community, to grieve and process trauma, to teach and learn, to dance, to heal, and to experience Black love and joy. Twitty's multilayered cooking draws on his family roots, his personal history, and his deep culinary knowledge of the American South. His latest title, the cookbook Recipes From the American South (Phaidon), brings his skill as a home cook and historically informed recipe-maker to the fore, allowing ingredients and dishes to transform into cultural and temporal touchpoints. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Twitty reflects on what researching and uncovering his ancestry has taught him about Southern cooking and himself, and shares why, for him, food functions as a tangible form of cultural reclamation and emotional healing.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Michael W.

Signs! We have been talking about them off and on all year. What they are, what they can feel like, how to recognize them and then … what to do with the information when you get the download, the direction and all of the amazing emotions wrapped up in all of it.  Last year (literally a year ago) the sign I got was one of those .... slap in the face type messages! Fast forward to June of this year …. And I drew the Spider Spirit Oracle card for our June Patreon workings. In doing the research for it, I was reminded of this download and night of the intense message and sign.When we pause to truly look at a spider's web (like really look) we see how every thread is part of something larger. Even the tiniest strand connects to others. If you brush one edge ever so gently, the entire structure trembles. The vibration doesn't stay where it began; it travels. It ripples outward, reaching every corner.  I think … That's exactly how the Witch's Web works. Every spell, every word spoken with intention, every breath of magic ... none of it happens in isolation. What we do here, in our kitchens, on our porches, beneath October's star-drenched sky, moves through the web. Like a pulse of light, it travels unseen, connecting with threads spun long before us and stretching into futures we can only imagine.And right now, in October, the web feels even more alive. This is the season of the thinning veil, when the boundaries between our world and the spirit realm soften. It's when whispers come a little clearer, shadows carry familiar weight, and the unseen web that connects us all shimmers! Ancestors, beloved spirits, land guardians, and witches from ages past are close. The ancestral threads in the web are some of the oldest and strongest threads we have. Every ancestor who stirred a pot, spoke a prayer, planted seeds, healed wounds, whispered their hopes to the night sky spun their magic into the web. Their threads stretch through bloodlines, through chosen families, through spiritual kinships. They are not passive observers on the edges of the web. No, they're part of the structure itself. They hold us, steady us, and sometimes give the strands a little nudge to remind us they're still here.Today you'll hear my journey with the BIG sign and message I got last year, but today isn't just a story time. It's a journey. A weaving. And as we gather here just days before Samhain (when the veil is at its thinnest) I believe the air is thick with signs, whispers, and ancestral presence. The web is alive… and it's waiting for us to listen!CharleneHearth & HenPatreonWitchy Work Wishes

This week's show, a conversation on The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we welcome Cheyanne Disé aka MuggaRose to join us. A Catskill-based psychic, medium, and ceremonial artist, she recently arrived from New Orleans. Her lifelong exploration of the unseen began in 1988, when she first immersed herself in the study of parapsychology, past lives, and hauntings.Guided by intuition and ritual, MuggaRose's artwork carries a deep spiritual resonance. Her creations, often inspired by ceremony and ancestral memory, are collected both nationally and internationally.Throughout her journey, MuggaRose has deep-dived into a wide range of performance offerings—from the ghostly movements of butoh, to the transformative experience of motherhood, to fronting radical punk bands. Each expression informs her spiritual and artistic practice today.As a devoted spiritualist and seeress, she weaves community ceremonies from coast to coast, helping others connect with spirit, intuition, and the natural cycles of renewal.Her debut book, Sundries for the Soul, invites readers to embrace spiritual hygiene, transform daily routines into sacred rituals, developing relationships with the medicinal plant spirits for energy work and learn to trust their own intuition. Through her art, teachings, and ceremonies, MuggaRose offers a living practice of connection, transformation, and reverence for the unseen world as healing and self awakening.Today we get into the magic and practices of Samhain. MuggaRose shares her years of experience in relating to and honoring her ancestors through ancestral altars and offerings. We explore many related aspects of being in connection with our ancestors, including shadow work and the practice of presence. She shares stories and tales related to the holiday including past public ceremonial experiences and what they've revealed to her. She has a public ceremony this weekend to honor Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld who permits the passing of spirits to visit when the veils are thin. Join MuggaRose and Gabrielle Heron on Sunday, November 2nd at the Maetreum of Cybele in Palenville, NY. Arrive by 5pm to make the procession. If you're feeling inspired bring an offering to be made to the earth for Ereshkigal and some nibbles to share with the living following the ritual. She's also holding space for readings on Saturdays at Strange Love in Saugerties from Noon to 5, a place where you can also find a copy of her latest publication, Sundries...Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Today, we'll talk about recent archaeological findings in Tibet, or Xizang - the so-called “rooftop of the world”. The new discoveries are helping to unravel the mystery of prehistoric Chinese ancestors' migration patterns and how they were able to adapt to extreme environments.

The JTS Commentary for Lekh Lekha by Dr. Eliezer Diamond, Rabbi Judah Nadich Professor Emeritus of Talmud and Rabbinics, JTSThis commentary was originally broadcast in 2014.Music provided by JJReinhold / Pond

The veil thins. Candles flicker in windows, pumpkins grin like little guardians of light, and the wind itself seems to carry whispers. On this night of Samhain, the air is crowded not just with ghosts and shadows, but with memory. The ancestors are near. They gather around us not as specters of fear but as companions in the long struggle for freedom.They murmur their old refrain: No Kings.It isn't only a political cry; it's a spiritual declaration. No kings over conscience. No kings over the sacred spark in each soul. No kings over the earth that belongs to no one and to everyone.And yet, empire still rides: headless, hungry, searching for a new crown to wear.The Headless Rider of EmpireEvery age has its horseman. Ours rides draped in flags and algorithms, clutching power with a grin that never reaches the eyes. Empire doesn't always look like soldiers on horseback; sometimes it's the dull hum of propaganda, the endless scroll of outrage meant to make us afraid and divided. Fear is the tyrant's favorite sacrament. It is how empire keeps us bowed.But Samhain teaches another kind of reverence, the courage to face the dark and discover that we are not alone in it. When we remember the ancestors, we remember that empire has fallen before, that courage has survived worse nights than these.As we light our candles this year, we are not warding off ghosts. We are calling them in.The Communion of the Courageous DeadTo honor the dead is to remember their unfinished prayers. Our ancestors were not perfect saints; they were human beings, flawed and luminous, stumbling toward freedom. Some resisted tyrants with sword or song. Others sowed seeds, healed wounds, or hid the persecuted in their homes. Some were themselves entangled in empire's lies and it is ours to set those wrongs right.Their presence tonight is not sentimental. It is strategic.They come to remind us that the fight for freedom is ancient and ongoing, that our bloodlines are braided with courage. Every generation must reclaim liberty from the jaws of fear. The dead lend us their memory so we can stand our ground without trembling.So when you feel the chill tonight, do not recoil. Let it steady you. It is the breath of all who refused to kneel.The Spell of FearEvery empire survives by casting the same spell: Be afraid, and obey.They conjure phantoms of scarcity and strangers, they whisper of purity and order. They tell us that power is safety and obedience is peace. But fear is a liar.Samhain breaks that spell. It invites us to laugh at death, to dance in the graveyard, to mock the old specter of control. In every carved pumpkin grinning against the dark, there is an act of rebellion. Every costume is a playful reminder that masks can liberate as much as they conceal.We can take the tyrant's favorite tools, fear and spectacle and turn them inside out. Make them ridiculous. Make them lose their power. Empire cannot stand when its priests of fear become the butt of the world's laughter.This is holy mischief. Sacred mockery. The ancestors knew it well.No Kings: The Theological HeartWhen we say No Kings, we echo both the prophets and the mystics. The Hebrew scriptures warned Israel what kings would do: take sons for war, daughters for labor, and the fruit of the land for greed. Jesus of Nazareth refused a crown and washed feet instead.To walk the Christopagan path is to remember that divinity does not enthrone it indwells. The Holy is not found in palaces but in the gathering of people who love one another enough to live free.Every tyrant dreams of being worshiped. Every mystic knows that worship belongs only to Love.The Work of Ancestral HealingTo honor our ancestors is not to whitewash them. Many of us carry lineages tangled in empire's violence colonizers and enslaved, oppressor and oppressed. Healing that wound begins with honesty.The ancestors cry out, not to defend their sins, but to urge our repair.In Hebrew mysticism this is called tikkun olam the mending of the world.Our task is not to make the past pristine but to fill its cracks with gold, like kintsugi pottery. To make beauty from brokenness. We do this through truth-telling, solidarity, and mercy.We the LivingWe are the living continuation of their courage. The blood of resistance runs in our veins. We, too, must stand in our time as they did in theirs against tyranny in every disguise: political, ecclesial, corporate, or psychological.But take heart. The ancestors are not trapped in dusty graves; they walk with us in every act of conscience, every laugh that punctures fear, every community that chooses cooperation over control.When you light your Samhain candle, whisper their names. But also whisper your own. You are part of the lineage now.Practice: The Circle of Memory and FreedomCreate an Ancestral Altar of Resistance* Gather tokens of courage. A photo of an ancestor who stood up for justice, a candle, a stone from the earth you walk on, a symbol of freedom a feather, a leaf, a key.* Name your lineage honestly. Speak aloud the gifts and wounds you inherit. If your ancestors caused harm, acknowledge it and commit to repair.* Invite them to stand beside you. Say: “Those who fought for freedom, walk with me. Those who seek to heal, guide me.”* Make a pledge. Choose one concrete act this season: volunteering, mutual aid, community defense, voting, or organizing to embody their courage in your day.* End in laughter. Remember the sacred mockery that disarms fear. Tell a story, sing, or dance. Joy is resistance.A Call to the Living CircleThe season ahead will test us. But remember: the tyrant's power is built on isolation. The medicine is community.Gather your people. Light the fires. Tell the old stories again. The witches who cursed the bombers, the marchers who faced dogs and hoses, the workers who sang on picket lines. These are your kin.Let your laughter carry through the thinning veil so the dead know their struggle was not in vain. Let your courage rise like a hymn the empire cannot drown.Because when we say No Kings, we are not only defying rulers we are proclaiming the sacred truth of creation:that Love alone is sovereign.And love, once awakened, cannot be ruled.Thanks for reading!

What does the Bible say about Halloween? Is the holiday just harmless fun? Why do Christians celebrate it?According to the National Retail Federation, seven in ten Americans (who live in a country that still marginally believes in the Bible) now celebrate Halloween. Total spending on the holiday is in the billions of dollars. Foods that are often associated with it include Bonfire toffee (Great Britain), candy and toffee apples (Great Britain, Ireland), caramel apples and candy corn, candy shaped like skulls, bats, and so on, as well as pumpkins (a Halloween tradition).Everyone knows the celebration of Halloween, All Hallowed's Ev'n, involves witches, warlocks, jack-o-lanterns, and an odd little phrase, “trick or treat.” They feel it's innocent, and all about pretending as they teach their little ones to dress up and join in the fun.  Is our Creator fond of us doing this, or are we practicing something originating in darkness that is absolutely evil in His eyes?  The word “Halloween” is a hybridization of the phrase “All Hallow's Eve,” or All Hallowed's Ev'n.  The Catholic Circus had made November 1st "All Saints' Day" in order to re-invent the pagans' festival of death. The night before became known as All Halloweds' Evening." “Hallowed” means “Holy,” and is a word derived from “halo,” a nimbus, hoop, or glowing emanation around the head of a deity such as Krishna (India).  Buddha is often depicted with a hoop or glowing orb around his head, as is “Jupiter” of the Romans, and Ceruiden of the Druids.  This practice of relating a round glow to the heads of deities or “enlightened ones” was adopted by Catholicism from the Romans, stemming from even more ancient Pagans.  The statue of Jupiter has a halo, and was re-named Peter.  The Catholics adopted the halo from Paganism to indicate that a person was a saint, so their images of dead “saints” could be properly venerated.  The idea of being “haloed” meant the person was “holy,” and this idea is conveyed in the term “hallowed”, pertaining to veneration / worship, or "sacred."  Whatever Yahweh declares set-apart (qodesh) is set-apart; what man declares set-apart, unsupported by the Words of Yahweh, is an abomination to Him. Autumnal Equinox - 13 weeksa. September 21Mabon - one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights  b. September 21 -22 - Autumnal EquinoxFrom this date through Halloween, occultists believe the veil separating the earthly dimension from the demonic realm gets progressively thinner, with the thinnest night being October 31; this thinning of the separating veil makes it easier for the demonic realm to enter the earthly dimension. Thus, on Halloween, evil spirits, ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black cats, fairies, and demons of all sorts were believed to be running amok across the land. They had to be back in their spiritual dimension before midnight, Halloween, for the separating veil would then get thicker. c. October 31 - SamhainAlso known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve as designated by the Catholic Church. This date is the Illuminati's highest day of human sacrificeNorth of Georgetown DE, we have a 102-acre pagan witch camp called Seelie Court.One of these covens is called Coven of the Rowan Star, listen to what they state, “As the year wanes, the Veils between the Worlds become thin. It is a time for introspection and self-evaluation. It is a time to reconnect with that which has gone before us, to our Ancestors. It is the time of Samhain, the Witches New Year, when the gates between the Dead and the Living are open wide, and the voices of the past speak to us. We prepare ourselves to face the end of the Harvests of the Fall and enter once more into the Winter of death and repose.Have any questions? Feel free to email me, keitner2024@outlook.com

'Tis the time of the year when the veil is the thinnest between this world and the next. We will gather around the bonfire to reflect on the season and our connection to the earth. Then we will go on a journey through the labyrinth to remember departed loved ones. 

Step inside the sacred circle as host Tony Sweet sits down with author, anthropologist, and Voodoo priestess Lilith Dorsey to explore the real roots of Voodoo—far beyond the myths, movies, and misconceptions. From the Loa and ancestor spirits to the heartbeat of ritual, rhythm, and reverence, Lilith reveals the beauty, complexity, and deep cultural legacy of this often misunderstood spiritual path. Discover how Voodoo blends African, Caribbean, and Indigenous wisdom into a living, breathing tradition—and why it's more about healing and connection than fear and folklore. Whether you're a skeptic, seeker, or spiritual explorer, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about Voodoo and open your eyes to its true power.✨ Truth Be Told Paranormal — where the supernatural meets the truth.#TruthBeToldParanormal #TonySweet #LilithDorsey #Voodoo #Vodou #NewOrleansVoodoo #AfricanDiaspora #Spirituality #MagicAndMyth #ParanormalPodcast #OccultWisdom #Witchcraft #Loa #Ancestors #CulturalMagic #Mysticism #EsotericKnowledge #PodcastInterview #SpiritualAwakeningBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

Isis shares the parallels between ancient civilizations like Egypt and Peru, tracing how shared cosmologies and architectural patterns may point to a deeper, interconnected human story. We also dive into the womb cave space Isis stewards in Nevada City, a sanctuary devoted to ritual, craft, and regenerative culture, where ancient practices meet modern community.Whether you're drawn to mystery traditions, ancient cosmology, or personal spiritual growth, this conversation invites you to question history, reconnect to the sacred, and remember the threads that bind us to the stars.

Please consider supporting me at https://www.patreon.com/LindsayHoliday The eerily beloved British comedy Ghosts was first adapted into an American supernatural sit com. It has now appairated into 3 more adaptations in Germany, France and Australia. In each version, half of a modern, living couple inherit a historic mansion. After moving in, the woman has a brush with death, which allows her to see dead people. The spirits, thrilled that a living person can interact with them, quickly incorporate her into the various rivalries, romances and hijinks which have been simmering over centuries of co-haunting. High-spirited hilarity ensues. The element which makes this show particularly special for history lovers is that each ghost met their demise in a different era. And people from the past are brought to life, or rather after-life in a unique and humanizing way. Some of the characters are archetypes of classic ghost stories, like the gray lady and headless specter. But all typify important cultural touchstones from the history of each country they are set in. Where the phantoms converge and differ across versions says a lot about how each country views its own history. Let's take a look at the spectral ensemble from each series, and compare them to each other, and to real history.

What if the chronic pain you can’t shake, the anxiety that won’t quit, or the patterns you keep repeating aren’t actually yours? What if they belong to your father’s father, your mother’s mother, carried forward through generations in your electromagnetic field? While most health approaches focus on chemicals and mechanics, sound researcher Eileen McKusick reveals a revolutionary truth: we are fundamentally electrical beings, and our ancestors’ unresolved trauma lives in our biofield. In this transformative episode, she shares how therapeutic sound can release generational pain that’s been trapped in your body for decades, or even centuries. The Researcher Who Maps the Invisible Eileen Day McKusick isn’t just theorising about energy fields. Since 1996, she has been methodically studying the effects of sound on the human body’s electrical system. Through nearly 30 years of clinical practice using tuning forks, she discovered something extraordinary: the human biofield has specific, mappable anatomy that stores our memories, emotions, and ancestral patterns. As a researcher, writer, inventor, and educator who has trained over 3,500 biofield tuning practitioners worldwide, Eileen bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Her books, “Tuning the Human Biofield” and “Electric Body, Electric Health,” provide the framework for a completely different way of understanding health. The Ancestral Rivers Running Through You Eileen’s most striking discovery: structures she calls “ancestral rivers” that run down either side of your body, carrying the electromagnetic information of your bloodline. “The one on the right side holds the information of the bloodline of your father,” Eileen explains. “If your father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, that information is very turgid. It’s very full of problems that were never solved. It’s full of the violence and the chaos and emotional dysfunction of your ancestors.” The left side carries your mother’s lineage. These aren’t metaphors. Skilled practitioners can actually hear and feel these patterns through tuning forks, identifying inherited addiction, suppressed rage, and unresolved grief that inform your behaviour, thinking, and feelings today. What Really Ails You “Most of what ails us, whether it’s physical pain, depression, anxiety, or digestive disorders, is related to a pattern of tension in the body,” Eileen reveals. These tensions come from childhood contractions, suppressed emotions, and the fundamental unsafety many experienced growing up. We’ve been taught to hold back anger, to be strong, to suppress symptoms. This creates electromagnetic resistance in our bodies. Your migraine isn’t just a headache. Your digestive issues aren’t just about food. They’re patterns of tension inhibiting flow, creating noise in your electrical signal. The Power of Coherent Sound Through tuning forks, Eileen has successfully treated acute pain, taking people from an eight or nine on the pain scale to nearly zero in 15 to 20 minutes. Published research shows biofield tuning’s effectiveness for anxiety relief. But how? “A strong, coherent signal overtakes and entrains a weak, incoherent signal,” she explains. The tuning fork produces steady, coherent vibration that gently coaches your body into relaxation and release. It’s physics, resonance, and the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right support. During our conversation, Eileen relieved my severe migraine in real time using a 222 Hertz tuning fork. The tightness I’d felt like a helmet around my head simply loosened and released. The Electric Health Revolution Eileen challenges us to shift from the chemical-mechanical health model to an electric health perspective. “We go to the beach to recharge, and we literally do,” she says. “Our electric body recharges in sunlight, salt water, and ionised air.” This perspective empowers self-care in radical ways: grounding barefoot on the earth, using your voice to express rather than suppress, listening to coherent sounds, and feeding your electrical body what makes you feel “ah” instead of “ugh.” Breaking Free from Generational Patterns The liberating truth: ancestral patterns can be released. Through sound, you can untie the electromagnetic knots your family has carried for generations. “Your biography becomes your biology,” Eileen warns, “but it doesn’t have to stay that way.” Real healing can be uncomfortable. Detox happens. Emotions surface. But what emerges on the other side is a version of you no longer burdened by patterns that were never yours to carry. Three Golden Nuggets for Electric Health The Electric Health Perspective Changes Everything. Stop looking for chemical solutions to electrical problems. Your body is fundamentally electrical, and addressing that system first allows everything else to follow. Electric Health Empowers Self-Care. You don’t need expensive treatments. Grounding, sunshine, laughter, hugging, and even listening to a single tuning fork can profoundly shift your electrical state. Your Voice Is Your Most Powerful Healing Tool. What comes out of your mouth is more powerful than what goes into it. Express rather than suppress. Your words are electromagnetic and creative, literally shaping your reality. About Eileen McKusick Eileen Day McKusick is a pioneering researcher, writer, inventor, practitioner, educator, and speaker in therapeutic sound, the human biofield, and electric health. She is the founder of biofield tuning and author of “Tuning the Human Biofield” and “Electric Body, Electric Health.” Since 1996, she has been studying the effects of sound on the human body’s electrical system. Key Takeaway You are not destined to repeat your ancestors’ struggles. The pain, patterns, and dysfunction you carry can be released through understanding yourself as an electrical being. When you address the noise in your biofield and restore coherence to your electromagnetic system, your body remembers how to heal itself. Coming home to electric health means reclaiming the brilliant, flowing, coherent being you were designed to be.

In this episode, Moni and Kat dive into The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic by philosopher and author Lindsey Stewart. The conversation explores how Black women's spiritual traditions rooted in healing, intuition, and resistance, have shaped the nation's cultural and moral fabric. From the granny midwives who guided generations of births with wisdom and ancestral power to the mermaids who symbolize freedom, survival, and transformation.They also explore how conjure lives on today in Beyoncé's music and visual art, where Oshun's energy, water rituals, and Southern Black mysticism flow through albums like Lemonade and Black Is King; in Miss Tina Knowles' storytelling and cultural preservation, which honors the strength of Black matriarchs; and even in the complex portrayals of women in films like Sinners and iconic characters like Annie, who embody both struggle and sacred resilience. Through these stories, Moni and Kat celebrate the spiritual practices that have always sustained Black women and all the ways we conjure beauty, power, and possibility from within.

Gleaning insight from a variety of past and immediate experiences, this session asks, are we the embodiment of dreams and sacrifices that made our lives possible?

Our ancestors' devotion to preserving this sacred ingredient gives an even deeper meaning to “soul food.” This ingredient offered them strength when their faith felt shaky.

In the beginning, people stored addresses, telephone numbers, and dates in little books. Sometimes called organizers. These paper books were popular and some became fashion statements. A particularly famous one was the luxurious, leather-bound Filofax. In the 1980s, new technologies enabled the rise of a new category of electronic tools to replace those books. Those devices' innovations take us right into the modern era of smartphones. In this sprawling, globe-spanning video, we look at the Personal Digital Assistant, the PDA.

What modern science (epigenetics) reveals about trauma and healing in family lines. Ways to release cycles of fear, shame, or scarcity while reclaiming the wisdom and gifts of your well ancestors.  You'll experience: A guided reflection to connect with your healed ancestors, release harmful ties, and receive their blessings. A collective card spread designed for ancestral healing that you can do at home to deepen your practice. This episode is both a teaching and a ritual space, blending inspiration, education, and embodied spiritual practice. Whether you're seeking to heal old wounds, honor your ancestors, or discover the strengths they've passed on to you, this conversation will support you in walking forward with clarity and grace.  Mentioned in this episode: Ancestral Healing Spread (5 cards: The Pattern, The Root, The Gift, The Healer's Path, The Blessing) Seasonal reflections for Samhain   May this episode help you release what no longer serves your lineage and claim the golden gifts of your ancestors.

Fr. Mike offers a brief recap of today's chapter from Nehemiah, identifying the difference between those who were able to live in Jerusalem and those who were not. He explains the ancestral gifts that each tribe of Israel received and applies this concept to the vices and virtues of our families, as well as our freedom to adopt or reject them. Today we read from Nehemiah 11, Esther 8, 16, and Proverbs 21:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

This series honors those whose courage and conviction formed the soul of our tradition. They were not perfect, but they were faithful: to truth, to love, and to the possibility of a better world. In honoring these ancestors of faith, we ask: What do we inherit from them? What do we carry forward?  We begin with the 4th-century Unitarians who challenged the prevailing Trinitarian view of Jesus, asking whether their bold theological ideas still speak to us today. We move to the 19th-century Transcendentalists, whose vision of the “transient” and the “permanent” in religion continues to offer clarity and guidance. We then honor those in our movement who have defied oppressive systems, reminding us that civil disobedience can be both effective and deeply faithful. Finally, we turn to the humanist voices in our history, exploring what their insights offer for a life of meaning and purpose now. First Unitarian Church of Dallas is devoted to genuine inclusion, depth and joy, reason and spirit. We have been a voice of progressive religion in Dallas since 1899, working toward a more just and compassionate world in all of what we do.   We hope that when you come here your life is made more whole through experiences of love and service, spiritual growth, and an open exploration of the divine.
