The worship ceremony of the ancestral pre-mothers are very similar to the worship expenses of the seita. The worship ceremonies of the ancestral pre-mothers are usually performed on small altars reserved for them, and these ancestral spirits favor as worshipers those who are members of the pre-mother's own family lineage. Some worshipers also carry with them some part of their ancestral pre-mother's body, such as a small part of her ashes or, for example, a carefully preserved and engraved piece of femur. The bearer of such an object can carry out the worship ceremonies of his ancestral spirit anywhere.

The ancestral spirit expects her offspring to nurture the customs and traditions of her family lineage and to defend her family in the best possible way in both words and deeds. If the ancestral spirit is pleased with her worshiper, she gives him some of her abilities in exchange for spell points. The ability given by the ancestral spirit is one of those that she became known for while living. With this power of spellcraft, some are known to have dreamed themselves into the halls of the dead, wherein the ancestral spirits await for this eventuality.
