Light an ancestor note from your burning candle using your right hand (giving / putting out hand). While lighting, say "this is for all my ancestors both known and unknown". You can also say names of family members or last names (Smith family, Myers family, etc.).
WHILE THE MONEY IS BURNING IN THE CAULDRON, imagine a doorway opening above the fire.SEE THE DOOR.It should be clear that there is a gateway. Then SEE your ancestors in this gateway RECEIVING the energy.
Maintain the visualization until the flames are gone. They will burn quickly! The quicker it burns, the better it was received.
Give thanks! You say "thank you, I love you all" when I 'm done with my altar work. Extinguish candles, or you may leave them lit.
