FAQ
-
What can I expect during a session?
Each session is a unique experience designed to support your energy and personal growth. You may receive guidance through intuitive conversation, gentle energy work, and ancestral tools like cowrie shell readings. The environment is calm, respectful, and focused on your inner well-being.
-
Is it similar to Tarot?
No, but both are forms of intuitive guidance.
Tarot is based on symbolic cards, while Ancestral Path Readings use cowrie shells (búzios) and are rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions passed down through generations. Instead of focusing on predicting the future, the reading explores your personal energy, life patterns, and spiritual alignment — guided by ancestral forces and natural elements.It’s not fortune-telling. It’s a mirror for your soul.
-
Is it safe and culturally respectful?
Absolutely. All practices are offered in a non-religious, holistic format that honors ancestral wisdom while respecting the cultural and legal sensitivities of the UAE. Our approach is inclusive, mindful, and rooted in ethical intention.
-
Is it black magic?
Absolutely not. This work has nothing to do with what is often called "black magic."
In fact, the term black magic is deeply prejudiced and rooted in colonial thinking.Historically, it was used to demonize the spiritual practices of enslaved African peoples and Indigenous cultures across the Americas. It emerged during a time when anything outside of European religious systems was labeled as evil — especially when practiced by Black or Native communities.
At Ancestral Path, we honor ancestral wisdom, connection with nature, and the power of ritual for healing and self-awareness. This is not about controlling, harming, or manipulating anyone.
It is about realignment, remembrance, and respect for the unseen forces that surround us — just as many spiritual traditions around the world acknowledge in their own way.
