Voice of the Ancestors Volume II is the second edition in the critically acclaimed Voice of the Ancestors book series. In the first edition of the series, we talked about removing the shackles and chains from your mind but in the second edition, we will talk about keeping them off. In this powerful guide to self-empowerment, Chase McGhee breaks down why it is important for Blacks in America and around the world to begin to develop an NFF mentality. A mentality that is predicated on never forgiving our enemies who have wronged our ancestors or their descendants. As well as never forgetting those ancestors and what they built, went through and died for. History always repeats itself, the weak will ignore it but the strong will learn from and never forget it. This is why Voice of the Ancestors VII is a must-have in every Black household.

Going through life as a Black person, it can often seem, with good reason, that the system is rigged against you. You're basically forced to play life on hard mode with no end or reward in sight, walking on eggshells when interacting with the wider world and having to question if you will ever be good enough. Sometimes—especially if you're focused on improving yourself—you're forced to prove yourself to both subordinates, peers and superiors that you're more than your "less than ideal" background. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this powerful guide to self-improvement designed for black people, Chase McGhee has taken it upon himself to carefully re-educate and re-acquaint every black man, woman and child with our history and open your eyes to our collectively vast potential just waiting to be tapped. With profound insights into black history, economics and culture that has yet to be taught on a systemic level, Voice of the Ancestors is a book that is full of unconventional, yet effective solutions for problems that we've been forced to deal with as a race, providing people of color everywhere with a solid foundation their consciousness needed to build a strong, prosperous black culture.

Voices from the Ancestors brings together the reflective writings and spiritual practices of Xicanx, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx womxn and male allies in the United States who seek to heal from the historical traumas of colonization by returning to ancestral traditions and knowledge. This wisdom is based on the authors’ oral traditions, research, intuitions, and lived experiences—wisdom inspired by, and created from, personal trajectories on the path to spiritual conocimiento, or inner spiritual inquiry. This conocimiento has reemerged over the last fifty years as efforts to decolonize lives, minds, spirits, and bodies have advanced. Yet this knowledge goes back many generations to the time when the ancestors understood their interconnectedness with each other, with nature, and with the sacred cosmic forces—a time when the human body was a microcosm of the universe. Reclaiming and reconstructing spirituality based on non-Western epistemologies is central to the process of decolonization, particularly in these fraught times. The wisdom offered here appears in a variety of forms—in reflective essays, poetry, prayers, specific guidelines for healing practices, communal rituals, and visual art, all meant to address life transitions and how to live holistically and with a spiritual consciousness for the challenges of the twenty-first century.

This book is filled with strange stories, mystic rites, angry gods, vision quests and magic symbols at the heart of African culture.

Gathers advice on obtaining happiness, finding fulfillment, clarifying the emotions, and promoting family harmony.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Exciting and provocative . . . A tour de force of a book that begs to be seen as well as to be read.”—The Washington Post Book World World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a thrilling saga that starts with the origin of the Earth. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits—self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics—are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals. Sagan and Druyan conduct a breathtaking journey through space and time, zeroing in on critical turning points in evolutionary history, and tracing the origins of sex, altruism, violence, rape, and dominance. Their book culminates in a stunningly original examination of the connection between primate and human traits. Astonishing in its scope, brilliant in its insights, and an absolutely compelling read, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a triumph of popular science.
