Many people think that bloodlines have influence with your magic power.
There has been a common belief in Generational Magic that dictates the older the bloodline of a practitioner, the more psychic ability or magical power they have.
In actuality, it is the individuals focus, concentration, level of awareness and dedication that determines spiritual strength when performing acts utilizing spiritual power.
We are all born with the natural instincts of alertness and premonition, just as we are all born with the ability to suckle for food and comfort. There is also the common denominator around children using visualization through playful imagination.
Not only are bloodlines not fundamental for gaining magic abilities powers, they're not even related to said powers.
Your bloodline is your physical, genetic lineage.
Magick is about your Will, your energetic development, and your karma.
i was taught that it was passed down the females in my family
but that could be just us. as we have a old family and have old power's from our ansesters
but i believe that it is something your born with.
Lessons may have been passed down through your maternal ancestry, but the fact that absolutely anyone can practice magick would seem to suggest that it is not and inherited trait.
I agree in that magic is not an inherited trait, but i'm sure those who are exposed to it from their family at an early age will be more familiar with it and perhaps do better at it.
Magick dosent have to be part of boodline. Anyone who wants to learn about magick and spiritualism can. But to some people magick can come naturally and easy for them from differnet generations of familes who may have practice the occult or magick in the past or their past lives.
Well if wou have fairly magical blood related linage then you would be more willing and a faster learner of the magical arts. It is like most traits that is kinda passed down. But after a few generations the power of the magical bloodline fades away or becomes very diluted. So yes it is helpfull to have magic in your family.
"It is like most traits that is kinda passed down."
The problem is that most things which are not genetic, like an appreciation of magick, are not transmitted through lineage. Any affect your parents have on your magick is through their influence in raising you. Literally the only remotely magical thing you get via blood is ancestor spirits, and even then you can still "adopt" and be adopted by ancestors who are not of biological relation.
"But after a few generations the power of the magical bloodline fades away or becomes very diluted."
Then why can anyone perform magick? This theory also appears dependent upon there being some external origin that these bloodlines got their magick from... and this would be what, exactly?
Although I agree with the idea that magick is not passed down by family bloodlines and that everyone can do it to an extent, I am also of the general opinion that there are some who possess a knack or affinity for certain areas or abilities that can be passed down through generations wether by accident or on purpose. For instance Ive heard of families who for four or five generations in a row who have very strong psychic abilities and then the sixth generation couldn't see a spirit if it slapped them in the face.
