Ancestral Magic

' Ancestral Magic is an extremely powerful form of witchcraft that was commonly practiced among the witches of Los Angeles. Similar to Spirit Magic, Ancestral Magic drew energy from the power of the Ancestors, the totality of all witches who had been consecrated into Los Angeles soil and remained attached to the land as spirits.

However, Ancestral Magic was limited to the area where the witch's ancestors were buried. Without access to the remains, or to the earth in which they're consecrated, witches who practiced Ancestral Magic were left without such power and had to seek other forms of magic. As a result, ancestral witches were very committed to their families and their coven, and the bloodlines of the witch families in the community typically went back centuries.

Since the release of the Ancestors from the Ancestral Well, witches of Los Angeles can no longer practice Ancestral Magic.
