There is an ancient wisdom that flows through our ancestral line, a quiet whisper of stories, rituals, and sacred symbols passed down through time. Even if we don’t always see it, that voice is still here.
Soft. Subtle. Waiting for us to listen.
Within those old stories lives more than just knowledge, they hold memory. A remembering of who we are. Of where we come from. Of the strength that has lived within us for generations.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to honor and preserve the unseen.
We feel called to gently capture and share the living wisdom of our ancestral roots, so it may continue to guide future generations.
The story behind Istimewa Rituals.
This project was born from something deeply personal.
As the granddaughter of a Moluccan grandfather and Dutch grandmother, I grew up with only fragments of our spiritual heritage. No visible rituals, no spoken traditions just soft whispers. Yet through dreams, signs and quiet moments, I began to feel my grandfather’s presence. His stories lived in the unseen.
Over time, I travelled across the islands Maluku, Java, Bali, Flores, Sumatra listening, learning, remembering. What I found was a shared way of living: rooted in the visible and the invisible, in deep respect for nature, spirit, and lineage.
I created this platform to honour that wisdom and the keepers who where so humble to shared it with me.
Here, ancestral knowledge is gently preserved and shared, through stories, rituals and images, to help us reconnect and keep the wisdom alive.
With love,
Alessa Joseph
