ancestral plane

Afterlife for lineage

The ancestral plane is a spiritual realm where the souls of deceased ancestors reside, often depicted as a place the living can visit through ritual, near-death experience, or supernatural means.

The concept draws from various African spiritual traditions and gained mainstream recognition through the film *Black Panther*: He visited the ancestral plane to seek guidance from his father.
