Great sacrifice goes into having a baby and rearing a child - living, breathing extensions of yourself, and vehicles for legacy, genetic and otherwise. Our mother and father, their parents, their parents, and so on. On a primal level, no one is more invested in our health, success, and wellbeing than family, especially the lineage of those who directly birthed or seeded us.
Relations can be by immediate bloodline, which are ancestral, or they can be chosen by personal sympathy, occupation, practice, art, or interest. “The dead” are, obviously, the spirits of deceased human beings, which are fantastic repositories of knowledge and power, especially those we’re related to. I was in my mid 20s by the time I overcame the residual trauma of those childhood experiences and was able to begin working with that class of spirits, including ancestors, and it changed absolutely everything.
My earliest brushes with the paranormal were all oriented around the dead - seeing them, hearing them, being scared the shit out of by them.
