Hey, what do you guys do to honor your ancestors? I usually just light a candle and say something simple, but I feel like I could be doing more. Any cool rituals or things you all do to stay connected? Sköl 🍻

There are a ton of ways one could.  Some do it during the second round of Sumbel (heros & dead ancestors).  Holding a Disablot and/or an Alfablot. 

Setting an altar up in your home dedicated to them.  We setup our ancestral altar during the lunar month when we hold Winter Nights and leave it up for the entire month.  We tell stories to our kids of the people they see in the photos and we put items we've inhereted from them on the altar.  On the final night that the altar is up, we put a plate of food and a cup of mead/ale on the altar when we have dinner that night.  

You could do a modern version of utiseta and go visit their grave and sit and meditate, or have a discussion with them.   You could also do a modern interpretation of this and fit it to whoever you are trying to connect with.  I do a version of this where I buy a cheese burger, friends and a milk shake and then order and extra, take it to a park bench and sit and just have a conversation with my dad.  It is something we did when he was alive and it makes me feel more connected to him.  Not very "historical" in terms of practice, but it works for me.
