I’m pretty sure that our actual ancestors were not trying to be “good ancestors.”
(Many worked hard to be good for their family and community.)
What would be different if they HAD tried to be good ancestors?

Great point. What differences of “goodness” can we detect in the societies that practiced ancestor worship?

Nah, we can tell from their stories and proclamations what they thought, and conjure from there.

iirc many native american tribes had a ritual practice of consulting 6 generations in past and future in taking any decision... of course the dead/unborn votes were basically consensus-by-shaman...
