The Ancestral Engines of Power: Understanding Witchcraft, Priesthoods, and the Inner Potencies of the Soul
BY: OMOLAJA MAKINEE
Across cultures and centuries, human beings have sought to understand the unseen forces that shape destiny, influence nature, and animate the spiritual architecture of existence. Whether expressed through priesthoods, witchcraft traditions, shamanic lineages, or esoteric schools, the central mystery remains the same: Where does spiritual power come from, and why does it manifest differently in different people?
To answer this, we must return to the primordial logic of the cosmos—where souls, ancestries, energies, and karmic residues intertwine to produce the spiritual capacities of each individual.
1. Beyond Rituals: The True Origin of Magical and Spiritual Potency
Witchcraft and priesthoods are often described through the visible aspects of their practice—incantations, altars, chants, consecrations, divination tools, or ceremonial scripts. But these outward forms are merely expressions of a deeper, older reservoir of influence.
All true spiritual power emerges from a triad:
A. The Soul’s Original Voltage
Each soul is born with a specific energetic frequency—its spiritual voltage. Some souls are soft currents: gentle, nurturing, intuitive. Some are high currents: fiery, forceful, capable of altering events with minimal effort. Others oscillate: both healing and destructive, depending on the alignment of their inner world.
This voltage determines:
- Why some children dream vividly of ancestors.
- Why others naturally “feel” energies in a room.
- Why certain individuals can pick up rituals instinctively, even without training.
- Why priestly or witchly roles “cling” to certain lineages.
B. The Ancestral Reservoir
Every family lineage has an energetic signature—a collective moral, spiritual, and karmic memory. From this reservoir emerge:
- natural seers,
- traditional healers,
- ritual specialists,
- prophets,
- diviners,
- dream-walkers.
A powerful priest, witch, or oracle is never self-made; they are ancestrally backed. Their power flows not from their tools but from a lineage that grants them spiritual jurisdiction.
C. Karmic Residues and Past-Life Contracts
Some souls return with unfulfilled duties or unexpressed potencies. A priest in a past life might reincarnate with:
- a strong command over symbolic meaning,
- a natural authority in spiritual environments,
- an instinctive ability to mediate between the physical and metaphysical.
A witch in a former incarnation may return with:
- mastery of emotional energy,
- strong intuition,
- a volatile but potent psychic force.
These residues determine how quickly a soul awakens to its spiritual gifting in the current lifetime.
2. Why Some People Become Priests While Others Become Witches
It is not religion, culture, or preference that determines one’s place in the spiritual ecosystem—it is energetic architecture.
Priestly Souls
- structurally stable,
- harmonisers of spiritual order,
- custodians of moral balance,
- mediators of communal consciousness.
Their power emerges from alignment. They do not bend energies—they channel them.
Witchline Souls
- emotionally charged,
- conductors of raw, untamed spiritual electricity,
- movers of events,
- wielders of transformational or disruptive energy.
Their power emerges from tension. They do not maintain order—they challenge and reshape it.
3. The Body as an Instrument: Biological Sensitivity to Energies
All spiritual systems recognise that certain bodies are more conductive than others.
A “witch-body” tends to be:
- emotionally hypersensitive;
- hormonally reactive;
- intense in presence;
- quick to attract or repel;
- magnetically charged.
A “priest-body” tends to be:
- calm and regulating;
- stable yet receptive;
- morally anchored;
- energetically clear;
- naturally grounding.
These biological differences mirror the distinctions between high-voltage and steady-current souls. Souls chooses biology deliberately.
4. Why Ritual Tools Only Work for Certain People
Give a ritual knife, a consecrated staff, a divination board, or a scrying bowl to someone without the ancestral wiring—and nothing happens. But place it in the hands of a spiritually aligned carrier, and it becomes an amplifier. The object itself has no ultimate power. It is the carrier who activates the object. Tools work because:
- the soul voltage matches the ancestral technology,
- the carrier’s energy animates the symbolic frame,
- the lineage recognises the individual.
This is why initiation in many traditions is not a mere ceremony—it is an awakening of dormant ancestral permissions.
5. The Source of “Inner Potencies”
Inner potency is the soul’s natural radiance—its ability to influence reality without force. It is expressed through:
- dream-walking,
- prophecy,
- trance states,
- energy healing,
- emotional manipulation,
- spirit communication,
- symbolic intuition,
- telepathic sensitivity,
- astral presence,
- karmic influence.
Potency does not shout; it vibrates. The more aligned a soul is with its lineage and past-life residues, the stronger its vibration.
6. Why Some Practitioners Are Dangerous
When a high-voltage soul loses moral balance, the result is volatile. Witches or priests who:
- ignore ancestral warnings,
- misuse emotional power,
- exploit psychic influence,
- operate from ego rather than alignment,
often rupture their spiritual circuitry. This can result in:
- psychic instability,
- ancestral withdrawal,
- karmic backlash,
- spiritual isolation.
In metaphysics, power is safest in hands governed by harmony.
7. Why Others Become Extraordinary Healers and Protectors
Some practitioners, especially priestly souls, emerge as stabilisers:
- their presence calms,
- their words settle turbulence,
- their rituals restore balance,
- their intuition guides communities.
Their energy aligns effortlessly with the logic of cosmic order. Such people are born guardians of equilibrium.
8. Power, Therefore, Is Not Chosen — It Is Revealed
A soul’s role in witchcraft or priesthood is not decided in adulthood. It is written long before birth:
- in the soul voltage,
- in the ancestral blueprint,
- in karmic residues,
- in past-life pathways,
- in the biology selected for the incarnation.
Training simply activates what was always there.
Conclusion: The Spirit Chooses Its Instruments
Every spiritual practitioner—witch, priest, diviner, oracle, healer, or seer—is an expression of forces older than memory. Power does not come from:
- spells,
- herbs,
- amulets,
- prayers,
- invocations.
It comes from the soul’s architecture.
Witchcraft and priesthood are not occupations but destinies—roles dictated by energy, ancestry, and karmic design.
To understand the practitioner, one must first understand the soul.
