There is no relationship or contact at all from the paternal side and from the maternal side the only ancestor I know OF (not know) is my grandfather who passed a month after I was born. Do I only make contact with him?

[@SangomaSociety]

Makhosi. You call upon the blood of your blood, and you specify that you want only the ancestors who wish you well. We use surnames and clan names to call upon our ancestors. Watch our video on ukuphahla here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDKqYelbL2nnc0

[@noziphocwele408]

Thokoza Gogo. I'm seeking clarity regarding the correct way to use iMphepho specifically if I cannot use it in a rented shared space. My flat mate is averse to the smell so I came across a video stating I can use candles and water instead which I've been doing. But for a few days now I've been having a longing in my bones so to speak to use it and for the smell. I've been advised against using it on the beach which I used to do in the mornings. If I cannot use it in my space out of respect for my flat mate and her beliefs or the beach where else can I burn it ? Thokoza.

[@SangomaSociety]

On a mountain. But be very very specific about who you are burning it for and tell the mphepho this before you burn it.

[@noziphocwele408]

thank you so so much for this. now since it will be my first time ever using imphepho and I grew up in my mother's side of the family and i was seldom in my father's side but my parents are married, do I calmly ancestors from my maternal side since I grew up that side and I know those that have passed on and had relationships with them and if the family had any rituals it was only with the maternal side where we would be involved. I have only had relationship with one great grand mother and her child and her child in my paternal side. so which ancestors do I call or rather communicate to?

[@SangomaSociety]

All of them as per the video.

[@mbuzimanyike]

@@SangomaSociety one last question. I'm 17 years old and I have opened my eyes from being a strict Christian to now being an fully open minded spiritual person now my mother and eveyone in the house are just sceptical believers of the spiritual community and the Christian community at the same time. I am the one that practically has that actively spiritual whereas they feel the need to only be spiritual if there is a problem or they urgently need somthing. now in this situation does it restrict me from getting my own imphepho and bringing it as well as getting other things that have a relation in african spirituality or do I have to wait till I have my own place?

[@SangomaSociety]

@@mbuzimanyike this is a good question. Firstly, I will do a video on this. Secondly, we honor the house in which we live, the country, the laws that govern. Paraphernalia is not as important as what is in your heart. Don't go against the laws of your home. Honor God and your ancestors in the ways that you can and you will see that you are heard. As long as you take the knee and make the time you don't have to have candles or umuthi (mphepho is definitely a medicine) your heart is the most important part.
