The phrase 'ancestral spirits' may be used in two ways. It may refer to the spirits of your ancestors that in many traditions are an important part of traditional ritual, or may refer to the spirits that existed since before us and in which our ancestors believed already, as some spirits of Nature in animist traditions.
