Have you ever felt like you are being watched, but the room is empty? Do you constantly see the same numbers (like 11:11) or finding white feathers in strange places? Do you smell perfume or cigarette smoke in your house when no one is smoking?
In the Western world, people might tell you that you are imagining things. They might say you are stressed or tired.
But as a Traditional Healer, I know the truth: You are not crazy. You are being contacted.
Your Ancestors (Amadlozi) do not leave you when they die. They simply move to the invisible realm. From there, they act as your Guides and Guardians. But because they no longer have physical voices, they must use Signs and Symbols to get your attention.
If you are experiencing these 5 signs, pick up the phone. The Spirit World is calling.
In the Image above: 5 signs your ancestors are trying to communicate with you through nature and dreams: From birds that seem to follow you, to vivid nighttime visions that feel more real than life, these are not coincidences. They are spiritual "notifications" from the other side, reminding you that you are guided, protected, and never truly alone.
"The blog post by Dr. Bula Moyo explains five common signs that ancestors use to communicate with the living, including phantom smells, animal messengers, electrical interference, coins and feathers, and visitation dreams. It provides steps to acknowledge and respond to these signs, emphasizing the importance of creating an ancestral altar and consulting with a spiritual guide for clarity."
1. The "Phantom" Smells (Clairalience)
This is one of the most common signs. You are sitting in your living room in London or Berlin, and suddenly, you catch a strong whiff of:
-
Old Pipe Tobacco or Cigarettes: Often a sign of a grandfather or father figure.
-
Specific Flowers or Perfume: A sign of a grandmother or mother.
-
Cooking Smells: The scent of a specific meal your aunt used to make. The Meaning: They are standing right next to you. They are visiting to comfort you or check on the home. Say "Hello" out loud. Acknowledge them.
2. Animal Messengers
Ancestors often "ride" animals to appear in the physical world. Watch out for animals acting strangely:
-
The Mantis (Isithwalambiza): In African culture, if a Praying Mantis enters your house, it is a direct messenger from the Ancestors. It brings good luck and asks you to be still/pray.
-
Birds: A bird tapping on your window or flying into your house.
-
Butterflies: Seeing a butterfly land on you or follow you during a time of grief. The Meaning: These are not random wildlife encounters. They are physical confirmations that you are not walking alone.
3. Electrical Interference
Spirits are pure energy. When they enter a room, they disrupt the electromagnetic field.
-
The Sign: Lights flickering only when you enter the room. The TV turning on or off by itself. Your phone battery draining instantly for no reason.
-
The Meaning: If this happens when you are emotional or talking about a deceased loved one, it is them saying: "We hear you."
4. Coins and Feathers
Do you keep finding coins (pennies, cents) on the ground? Or white feathers where there are no birds?
-
The Sign: Finding a coin "heads up."
-
The Meaning: Ancestors cannot give you a bank transfer, but they can guide your eye to find money. It is a small gift to remind you that they want you to be prosperous. Keep the coin; it is a lucky charm.
5. The "Visitation" Dream
We discussed dreams before, but this one is specific.
-
The Sign: You dream of a deceased relative. The dream is Hyper-Realistic. It doesn't feel like a fuzzy movie; the colors are bright, and you can feel their touch. They often give you a message or a warning.
-
The Meaning: This was not a dream. Your spirit actually met their spirit on the Astral Plane. Write down exactly what they said. It is usually instruction.
"Okay, They Are Calling. What Do I Do?"
If you ignore the phone ringing, eventually they will stop calling, or they will ring louder (causing chaos to get your attention). You must answer.
Step 1: Acknowledge Them You don't need a complex ritual yet. Just speak.
-
Action: Pour a glass of fresh water. Put it on a clean shelf or table.
-
Say: "To my Ancestors, known and unknown. I see your signs. I thank you for your presence. I am listening."
Step 2: Create an Umsamo (Altar) Designate a small space in your home for them. Keep it clean. Place a white candle, the water, and maybe a photo of them there. This gives them a "place to sit" in your house so they don't have to wander.
Step 3: Get a Consultation Sometimes the signs are confusing. Is the bird a warning or a blessing? Is the dream telling me to move or stay?
-
Action: Book a Bone Reading. I act as the interpreter. You tell me the sign, and I ask the spirits exactly what they meant by it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are all spirits Ancestors? A: No. Some are wandering spirits or tricksters.
-
How to tell: Ancestors feel "warm" and safe (even if startling). Bad spirits feel cold, heavy, and scary. If you feel fear, cleanse the house.
Q: I was adopted. Do I have Ancestors? A: Yes! You have Blood Ancestors (biological) and Heart Ancestors (the family that raised you). Both watch over you. Spiritual DNA is as strong as physical DNA.
Q: Why don't they speak to me directly? A: They vibrate at a higher frequency. It is hard for them to lower their voice to human speech. Signs are the universal language.
