Ancestors are dead people and the Bible strictly prohibits people from making contact with the dead. Any so called contact is actually contact with demons. There is a passage in the Bible that states that the dead do not see anything under the sun. This can also be said of the popular belief that someone who died is a guardian angel. This is completely false. Angels are beings created by God to be specifically that: angels.
