Photos of September 2024 service are on our Facebook page!
Our September 6 Ancestor Service was slightly delayed due to weather issues (too much heat/wildfire smoke to add more heat and smoke into the house safely), but the service finally took place on the evening of Sunday, September 8. You can see the report and the photos at our Facebook page for events, here.

Wag Festival/Ancestor Service tandem: Friday 23 August 2024!
I am still dealing with construction at the house and do not want to tempt fate by setting the Ancestor Service then having to take it all down because of random/unexpected workmen, so I am going to reschedule the service once again: this time to coincide with a second ancestor service I was going to…

August 6 2024 Service rescheduled to August 10
I learned very late today that there might have to be some construction people in my apartment tomorrow and Thursday (surprise construction work, not something planned) so I have opted to postpone the Ancestor Service from today (August 6) to this coming Saturday, August 10. This way I know there is not going to be…

July 6 2024 Service rescheduled to July 13
Due to the extreme heat wave and the inability to light so many candles in a house that is already dangerously overheated (plus very dry, so fire risk), I’m rescheduling the July Ancestor Service one week, to Saturday 13 July, starting at the same time (9pm Pacific). This should give the house time to be…

Due to some traveling I need to do for family this coming month, I will not be able to be at home on April 6 to do the Ancestor Service on its usual date. As a result I’ve moved it to the closest possible day after that travel which will be Thursday, April 11 –…

Some website updates!
I’m gearing up for March’s Ancestor Service, which will be held on Wednesday, March 6 (so we’re a little over two weeks away). The Effective Spirits website has been updated this evening in two places, to reflect a change in how I am ensuring the Ancestor Service continues to have adequate financial support, and also…

February 2024: photos and a video
The Ancestor Service for February 2024 is now going on until the candles are completed. 43 participants shared the names of 377 named individual ancestors and of 37 pets, who were all remembered as part of the service; we also honored thousands and perhaps millions of unknown ancestors from various families and bloodlines, as well…

February 6 Ancestor Service: thank you.
I’m getting ready to start the February 6 Ancestor Service, for the second time I’ve done this. Once everything is finished I will make sure and post some photos (as I am permitted to take them) to our group Facebook page and share whatever else I have to share about the event. But right now,…
