Ancestral Worship is a skill that allows you to sacrifice items of your ancestor's desires to an Ancestral Shrine, which gives you numen points that can be used to pray for various things (see Prayers section). To sacrifice an item, left-click it to hold it in your hand, and then right-click the ancestral shrine.
You may check what your ancestors desire under the Worship tab of your character sheet. At any time, they will desire 3 items: sacrificing the first (left-most) item will allow you a chance to gain numen points based on your Tradition/Change belief, whereas sacrificing one of the other 2 less desired items will merely reset which items they desire. Since you can only gain numen for sacrificing the first item, you should only sacrifice one of the others when the first item is too difficult for you to acquire. If you sacrifice items of a lower quality rating than the amount of numen points you have, you will lose a numen point instead. This applies regardless of whether the primary or secondary desires are fulfilled.
The number of numen points you gain is based on your Tradition/Change belief. If you are full Tradition, you have a 100% chance to gain 3 numen points; at full Change, you have a 1/3 chance of even getting 1 numen point.
Note
Of course, you need "ancestors" before this skill becomes usable. Your character needs to have died and been reincarnated.

In-Game Text
"For the ancestors!"
