Quick question: for the candle can you light it for you and your spouse at the same time? or should it be individualized after the 6 hours burn period? I have a chant that would work for the both of us. Just wasn’t sure how to use it I’m this manner.
Thank you I’m advance for your help!
I think this will vary person to person based on their beliefs.
I wouldn't offer something to my ancestors, then burn it for someone else's...because I've already offered it to them.
But if I had a shared ancestor altar with my spouse, I think that changes things. In that case, I'd burn it for both of our ancestors at the same time, all the way through.
I lit 1 bloodline/ healing for each. (So two candles) we had specific healing requests for each ancestral bloodline. I use bloodline itself as an offering for our ancestors combined to give gratitude. I suppose it can be used for both simultaneously if the request is the same.
