Ancestor Work for Liberation
Radical, relational ancestor work for personal & collective healing
13 November
6pm ET / 3pm PT
Our ancestors are our roots.
To be radical is to work at the root, to approach the root of a problem.
Ancestor work tends to the root, creating healing and connection that grows your power to create liberatory change in your life, your community, and your world.
Are you…
- Taking small actions that you hope create a more liberated world, but still so filled with grief at the state of the world and are looking for spiritual practice to support and grow your capacity for liberatory action?
- A radical witch babe curious about ancestor work and ready to approach it from a liberatory perspective?
- A revolutionary mystic who’s ancestor-work-curious, but weirded out by the blood-line, genealogy, the not-so-covert conservativism of it all & kinda turned off by the idea of worshiping your problematic ancestors?
- An ancestor work practitioner who wants to broaden their practice beyond simply those who fucked, conceived, begat, and produced heirs?
- A radical with magical inclinations who wants to add an energetic and magical aspect to your work of grappling with Empire and/or ancestral legacies of harm?
- Looking for a way to get out of the feelings of frozen helplessness when you contemplate the state of the world so you can move into action by tapping into a reservoir of magic, healing, and hope that will support individual and collective joy, healing and liberation?
Then, the Ancestor Work for Liberation workshop was created for you! This workshop will introduce you to a radical and relational framework for creating an ancestor work practice that supports both personal & collective healing and liberation.

“This drastically expanded my consciousness of all the things that had already been possible! I began the course feeling very self-conscious and carried worry that I would inadvertently do something to upset my ancestors. This course not only put my heart at ease, it also allowed me to work through these worries (which, turns out, was connected to ancestral trauma). Lex did a fantastic job holding space and supporting us while we encountered wounds — and helped us identify whether or not we were ready to undertake that particular journey at the time. This was such a wonderful course and really helped me trust myself and my ancestors.”
– Emily Corturillo, they/them
About Lex
Hi! I’m Lex (they/them)! I am a queer, trans-masculine, neurodivergent, and chronically ill witch. To put it simply, I am a liminally embodied facilitator of liminal experiences! My lived experience has shaped my approach to folk magic and spiritual experience.
Through folk magic, spirit work and tarot I help spiritual rebels, academic witches, and mystical revolutionaries go beyond the conventional, learn to trust their own intuition, and make their own path through the magical realm. Through divination, meditation, and education it is my mission to help folks connect to their own personal wisdom and learn to be in conversation with the beyond so they can be their own guides to mystical exploration!
For the astrologically curious, I’ve got a 12th house Scorpio sun conjunct Mars and Pluto, with Mercury in the 1st house. My calling to work with the dead and my ancestors is written in the stars, to put it a bit dramatically.
I come to this work because my ancestors are deeply intertwined with my magical practice, especially my queer ancestors. It was my queer, radical, and otherwise marginalized ancestors who gave me the courage to turn away from approaches to spirituality that denied my truth and didn’t honor my lived experience.
And even as ancestral connection is essential to what I do, I have STRUGGLED with this work. Ancestor work is often conservative, genealogical, and exclusively focused one’s blood lineage as provable by historical documents. Many standard ancestor work classes have been harmful to me and ignored my vital radical, queer, marginalized, neurodivergent, and otherwise deviant ancestors. As a queer person, as a white person whose ancestors hid their origins and traditions so they could assimilate, as a radical who in the depths of my soul is repulsed by conservatism, learning to create an ancestor work practice that both honors my ancestors AND supports my thriving has been a challenge.
Over the years I have developed methods that work for connecting to the ancestors in a way that is rooted in radical values & honors one’s own lived experience. And now I am so excited to share with you all that I have learned about using a radical approach connecting with, healing with, and learning from the ancestors!

“I am feeling much more supported and connected to my ancestors. This made possible so much self-forgiveness and collective comfort for my generational lines and I have been able to cultivate love and affirmation to the person I am ready to step into becoming.”
