Will drinking about 100ml of ginger root juice, turmeric root, lemon and honey every day 6-7 hours before taking the Atywia contraceptive pill weaken its effectiveness?

You can find information that ginger or turmeric are aromatase inhibitors, an enzyme that is involved in the conversion of androgens into estrogens. When using contraception, this mechanism does not matter, because we deliver the finished hormone to the body.

I came across articles on the Internet in which ginger and turmeric are recommended to lower estrogen levels. Does this only apply to estrogen naturally occurring in the body or the one taken in contraceptive pills too?

No, this should not affect the effectiveness of contraception.
