Samhain is approaching and the veil is thinning. It’s the time to connect with the ancestors and collective dead. It’s the time to practise scrying or divination.
For your altar, decorate with natural things from your areas to honour the local land spirits and dead. Fallen leaves, acorns etc. carve or decorate a pumpkin for your altar or windowsill. Gather some local grave yard dirt for your altar if permission is given by the graveyard grim.
Practice divination with any tool you are drawn to. Traditionally it’s a time of scrying and all you need is a dark colour bowl filled with water and a darkened room lit only by candlelight (ensuring candles are not near anything flammable and secure in holders). The water you gaze into should be reflected by candlelight, soften your gaze as you look into your scrying bowl, it does take time and practice but stick with it and keep a note book close by for journaling.
You can also practice your tarot technique as well. Do a reading for yourself or even for the energy of the season. Maybe gather some friends together and do a group reading too.
Honour your ancestors by placing photos of passed loved ones on an altar for the ancestors. You could also add graveyard dirt,found animal bones, herbs associated with the dead etc and can be as simple or as fancy as you like. You can even offer the ancestors an offering. I often do one of incense, candle light and blessed water. I often do this around the dark moon and say the following to them during my offerings
Tumblr media
On my ancestor altar (above) I have my late husband, my father and grandparents, aunts and uncles and even a passed beloved pet cat!
I give my offerings and say my words which I share with you here.
“Ancestors, I call to you now to be here with me now and always. Accept these offerings with the love they are given. I offer you Earth the grounding element to secure, I offer you water, the spiritual pure element. I offer you incense the air element for communication. I offer you a candle, the fire element for light and warmth. Ancestors accept these simple offerings in love and remembrance. Beloved Ancestors feed on this earth, smoke, water and light to nourish and strengthen you. Blessed be”
You can tailor the words to suit you and your ancestors and doing this on Samhain and every dark moon helps to strengthen the bond.

Curious about your roots? Clues are likely hidden in your surname. A last name could hold the echoes of historical events or reveal a fascinating connection to significant eras, unveiling a family's historical narrative.
The evolution of family names has been impacted by immigration waves, wars, and cultural shifts. From DNA testing to online forums, scientific and social strands weave our heritage.

I have wanted to draw Adaman and Irida for a long time because of their appearance in the game Pokemon Masters EX. The desire increased with the implementation of Photomontages and their modern dancing clothes.

Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/laadep/747924999471546368/
If you think about it: Adaman would be the ancestor of Perrin and Maxie. While Irida would be the ancestor of Archie. Paulo's thing is a crazy thought of mine because they look similar to me.
In the game Irida's alternative clothes are cyan and blue. While her alternative dancing clothes are lylac/violet like Paulo's clothes.
Tumblr media
In the game I have Adaman and Irida (with modern clothes). I still have to get Paulo and normal Irida from the Gacha. Gotta save enough Diamonds for that.
Photomontages i did from the game.

"DESPAIR has come to our family, Makoto! Kinda has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
Thank you @karmitofenix for this idea! I had a blast and spent honestly way too much time on it. It's still pretty messy, but I feel proud and it was nice to do anime style art for a change. In time, everyone will know the TRAGIC extent of Hope's Peak's failings.

Retrograde Revision 3: Ancestor Mystery (Oracle Mystery)
Tumblr media
(art by ArtLeonCD on DeviantArt)
And so we come to the end for this week, and I must say, looking back on what I wrote on today’s subject in the early days of the blog really does feel like I did this entry injustice, but that’s what these revisitations are for, right?
Whether it is great records set in stone or oral traditions, we as humans, as well as many fantasy peoples, are defined by the legacy of our forebears, of the act of keeping the name and memories of those who came before alive, to better understand how they strived and sweat and bled to make the world that we live in today, all in direct defiance of the uncaring and forgetful march of time.
Civilization, all civilizations, are based on this at their core, on the legacy of our ancestors, so it only makes sense to honor or even worship them for their role in making our lives possible, and the prayer that whatever remains of them after death will watch over us into the future. Apply that to a fantasy setting, and the echoes of long-dead ancestors, be they spirits formed from their memories or their souls watching from the afterlife, may indeed come to offer guidance and protection, often using oracles of this mystery as a mouthpiece and/or instrument of their will.
Naturally, these oracles show up most often in cultures and religions that have a strong sense of history. The dwarves with their great halls built by forefathers and their fathers in kind, the elves with their long view, the iruxi lizardfolk with their tendency to keep the bones of their ancestors close in a very literal way, all are potential candidates. However, any civilization might give rise to such oracles, with perhaps the exception of young species or created beings that lack a history.
Regardless of their origins, however, the weight of history and the strength of an army of forebears stands behind these mystics.
The spells of these oracles range from various manifestations of their ancestors aiding them in ghostly form, to those that bless them and others with courage and determination, to stepping beyond the veil into ethereal and astral realms.
With a gesture, many of these oracles can summon to their hands an echo of one of the weapons wielded by their family in the past. At first, these weapons are well-made but mundane, but grow more magical and even able to touch spirits as they grow in power.
Others can invoke the courage and skill of their ancestors for a few brief moments, gaining greater prowess in battle.
Some develop the ability to unnerve others with a touch, such foes feeling the otherworldy presence of the spirits watching over them.
Others call upon a relevant ancestor when attempting a task, seeking their guidance on the matter.
More powerful oracles can allow the spirit of a great warrior to possess them, becoming a deadly force on the battlefield for minutes at a time.
Many can also call upon their ancestors to shield them from harm, blocking incoming attacks and even casting aside projectiles with mastery.
With an inversion of their power, some can become as spirits themselves, intangible and invisible to mortals for a while.
Powerful mystics might learn to invoke the wrath of their ancestors in a flurry of half-visible shapes and forms tearing into foes, an assault which is even more destructive to the undead.
Many also possess a knack for speaking to the dead, asking questions of even begrudging and hostile interviewees with some modicum of success.
Others learn to commune with their ancestors fully by entering a meditative trance, able to learn of the near and farther future, as well as eventually asking great questions of them.
Finally, at the end of their path, the strongest of these mystics become avatars of their ancestral lineage, becoming harder to usurp mentally, gaining heightened senses, superior divinatory power, and even able to project their spirit astrally without any setup.
The revelations and magic of this mystery lends itself well to a mixed combat and support oracle, able to go toe to toe with mighty foes while also supporting their allies and being supported in kind with spiritual allies and the like. Add in proficiency with all knowledges and ways to buff or complement that with divination, and they prove true to their class name as information utility characters as well. If your character’s backstory points to a specific type of weapon or combat style, you might consider choosing feats and spells that complement it as well.
Two different routes you might take with these characters are perhaps the most obvious. On the one hand, your oracle might be a proud (or ashamed) keeper of their ancestry’s legacy, ready to perpetuate it and fight for (or against) what they believed in. On the other hand, they may be only learning of their grand history when they begin hearing the voices of the dead in their ears. Either way, the concept of family and legacy likely mean a lot to them, whether they already know it or are discovering it on their own.
Gorvid Duskhammer has awoken as an oracle, the first ever in his clan. However, the ancestral voices in his ear are those not of mountain dwarves, but of duergar, pointing to a hidden, dark history behind his otherwise well-respected clan. So desperate is he to hide this foul truth that when foreign heroes appear to solve the dwarven city’s undead problem, he tags along into the family crypt, to silence them if they realize the corpses below are of grey dwarves.
The bitter life of a street urchin has made Callad hard and cruel. When he awoke as an ancestor oracle he realized he had been denied greatness his whole life. Now, he rules over the shattered keep his ancestors once lorded over, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, plotting to restore his families name to greatness, by any means necessary.
It is said that the blade of Karaactus was lost for all time, but they say one of his blood still lives, an ancestor oracle who may be able to divine what happened to the magic sword. However, they might object to someone else wielding their ancestral weapon, which presents another problem.
