Spell For Lost Heritage

Where do you come from? Who were your ancestors? Why are you the way you are? If you have questions that can’t be answered and a sense that something is missing, this may be for you.

An elder of the Marapu tribe in Indonesia described living without knowledge of your ancestors or their land as being “like a nut without the shell”. Does ancestral continuity give you strength, meaning? A sense of belonging or acceptance?

This is a spell for those of us who are trying to work out who we are, to create our own meaning and  be the ancestors we wish we had.

If your family of origin is a mystery, makes you feel unsafe or “home” doesn’t feel like your home, know that you can reach beyond these limitations. You can create your own supportive inner circle and chosen loved ones. Blood ties aren’t always the strongest and don’t have to define you. You have the power to write your own story and hand down a future you would be proud to inherit.

Use this Spell to remind you that you have choices in all your interactions, whoever they’re with. And you have the power and strength to be the one to change inherited patterns, even when that's painful work.
