How Anubis the god of the dead can help you strengthen your magic and ancestral lines
Everyone knows Anubis, he is the Egyptian god of death, most recently seen in one of my favorite television series, American Gods. He makes his first appearance escorting an elderly woman into the after world. There, he measures her heart against the feather. The woman lived a good life, and thus able to choose a door. A door that will lead her to a happy after life. Anubis makes his next appearance, only this time his leading Laura Moon to her death. Unlike the elderly woman, Laura Moon had no choice. Instead, her afterlife would consist of absolute and complete darkness. Anubis said that she believed in nothing, therefore her afterlife would be nothing. Then, Laura is saved by Mad Sweeney’s lucky coin. She is now a revenant, reborn and ready to fulfill her mission. What is her mission so to speak? Her mission is to save her husband Shadow Moon. Only problem is that fate has different plans for her. So, in this video, we’re going to talk about the role Anubis plays in preserving family lines and how he gives us the chi or ashé to fulfill our dreams and destiny, stay tuned.
Anubis the Egyptian God
We know the basics about Anubis, he is the Egyptian god of death, check. He has the head of a jackal or canine, check. His skin is as black as the soil from the Nile, check. He was in charge of the mummification process, check. Like I said, just the basics. However, I believe that Anubis serves another purpose than just preserving bodies so that they could survive the afterlife. I also think that he is the preserver of our ancestral lines. Now, ancestor lines is not something that is really talked about in Western religions, cultures, and customs. Yet, they play a huge role in who and what we are. In African cultures, people are defined by their family line, family tree, and family names. They work very hard not to tarnish the line. And they’re extremely careful about who they mate with and who they pro-create with, because the ancestor line is very important. Let me explain to you why.
Anubis the god of Egypt
Back in the day, people had really weird rituals surrounding death. Unlike today where your mother and father would bequeath you a home, or an heirloom. They would instruct that their corpse be eaten by their loved ones. This was done to strengthen the bloodline and to ensure that power, ashé, or chi, stayed within the family. This ritual also extends to cultures in Japan. Where a young child would aid an ill parent by cutting off a piece of their leg, and feeding it to them. Hey, it gets much worse, with people actually stealing mummies from Egyptian tombs. They would then ground up the contents and make a healing concoction known as mummia and sell it on the black market. We’ve even heard horror stories about cannibals eating their flesh of their fallen enemies to absorb their spirit. All this sound so strange to us, but actually it made a lot of sense to our ancestors.
Ancestor worship in Africa
They believed that power in the form of chi, or ashé was transferred from generation to the next. A lot of great African societies held commemorative ceremonies where the head of Oba was transferred from the incumbent to his predecessor. This was to ensure that both knowledge and power was passed down from generation to generation. Daimons, angels, and spirit guides were also transferred through family lines as well. So, when an elderly loved one died, the benevolent spirits that guided and protected her would then go and protect her grandchildren and great grand-children as well. Allowing them to inherit spirits guides and all the wealth and knowledge that came along with receiving them. Spirit guides are known to be in families for generations and generations. In fact, it is the spirit guides that often makes the family line stronger. They are responsible for acquiring wealth, securing protection, and ensuring that the family name and legacy survive. Spirit guides have many names and purposes. In the Ifa pantheon, spirit guides are known as the Eggun. While in Haitian Voodoo, they are known as the Ghede. While a spirit guide can make a family line stronger. They can also diminish the strength of a family line. Many family lines lose spirit guides over time, out of benign neglect and ignorance. Or they’re forced to assimilate into a greater and much more powerful family line.

Besides, we’ve all experienced mergers. Back in 2008, during the great recession banks were failing, and many had to merge or die. Wachovia Bank merged with Wells Fargo and now hardly anyone knows Wachovia’s name. Furthermore, Wachovia was bought for a small fraction of what it was truly worth. The bank sold itself short to say the least. But it did it in an effort to survive. The same rule can be applied to some of the richest families in the nation. Besides, we’ve all heard the conspiracy theories about how there are several families that have all the power and control most of the wealth. We’ve all heard of the Fords, The Rothchild’s, The Walton’s, The Bush Family, and the Rockefellers. In fact, almost anyone who holds an office or position of prestige is linked to a powerful family line. When in fact, these families became powerful through a series of mergers that allowed them to take over entire ancestral lines.
What is Haitian Voodoo and who are the Voodoo Gods
I truly believe that the disparity gap that we have between the rich and the poor is a direct reflection of us, turning our back on our ancestors. We’ve forgotten them. As a result, they’re being snatched up by other people who understand the importance of chi and ashé. I can even go as far to say that many people aren’t fulling their destiny simply because they don’t have enough chi or ashe to do so. Laura Moon for example, was really a walking corpse, when she was both dead and alive. She didn’t believe in anything, and thus suffered from loneliness and despair. Yet, when she was fueled back to life by Mad Sweeney’s coin, she felt a rush of excitement, especially when killing Tech Boy’s minions, or when smashing Mr. World’s soldiers with her booted foot. Laura was dead, but because she had Mad Sweeney’s coin. She was powerful than ever before. Now, she could actually fulfill her purpose, her true purpose in the afterlife.
How to use demons
Now, there is a great deal of speculation about the relationship between Laura Moon and Mad Sweeny. Some believe that they are star crossed lovers. While others, including me, believe that Mad Sweeney the unlucky leprechaun, is and was, Laura Moon’s daimon. He is her spirit guide, giving her all of his luck, also known as ashé to fulfill her purpose. This can be seen in one of the throwback episodes when Emily Browning, also played Essie McGowan. Essie McGowan was the woman who puts out bread and milk for her fairy compadres. We also see Mad Sweeney act as Anubis towards the end of this episode, leading Essie McGowan to an afterlife that consist of leprechauns and fairies.
Now, it’s not all bad. Besides, I didn’t want this video to be all about doom in gloom. The good news is that your ancestors are still alive. Their memory is alive, inside of you. And if you get into the habit of calling upon them. They’ll come. Yet, you have to acknowledge them, love them as if they were still alive, create an altar and give them offerings. Most importantly, reach out to Anubis to strengthen your ancestral line and get your power back.

Anubis is the god of the dead, but also the god of preserving ancestral lines. He helps to keep the lines pure, so that our ancestors can guide us, help us, and give us the energy needed to manifest.
