Writing Assignment 2: Prayer to a Sin Vergüenza Ancestor
Mon Oct 13th, 4pm

Recipe as Prayer. I read Ancestral Intelligence and never for a second felt like I was reading a recipe. The whole piece feels like a prayer. But now I realize that it’s both. Recipe and prayer. Our ancestors want to be red and honored. What better way to do that by writing prayer as recipe.

Use their format to guide your way. Let your first two paragraphs be about your ancestor. Let the recipe be from them to you. Build mood. Be specific with plants, the power of the ingredients and things that your Sin Vergüenza would be amused by.

Plants, flowers, earth
Ritual Instructions (steps, blessings, offerings)
Follow the vibe of Karen M. Rose’s “Ancestral Intelligence, Plant Medicine & Our Intuition” (Sacred Vibes Apothecary’s Herbal Almanac 2023–2024). Notice the places where her recipe feels like prayer.
