Why give libation? Kemetic culture teaches us, “pour libation for your father and mother who rest in the valley of the departed. God will witness your action and accept it. Do not forget this even when you are away from home. For as you do for your parents, your children will do likewise for you.” - Ani or Egyptian book of the Dead. For an example read below:
