Thank you for sharing this disturbing story. So many people think that "just opening up to spirits" is automatically wise and safe. For what it's worth, there are practitioners and ritualiists who are very well-trained, ethical guides in this terrain. People for whom SAFETY is paramount. Daniel Foor is a good example at https://ancestralmedicine.org. There are many practitioners of ancestral healing --true HEALING-- associated with his work. I have been working with one who is lovely, takes things slowly, and as always, we have contact only with WELL and HEALED ancestors. Opening the floodgates--no!
