How I Freed Myself Of An Ancestral Curse With Blood Magic
A few weeks before I made this video, someone told me that an ancestral curse—or some kind of unresolved energy from past generations—might be affecting my family. I had no idea whether that was true, what had happened, or where it might have come from.
Then, while looking through Juliet Diaz's book Plant Witchery, I came across her Saffron Blood Magic Purging Ritual, designed to release toxic energy and what no longer serves you. Something in me immediately said: this is the ritual I need to try.
Despite the rather alarming name, this isn't horror-movie blood magic. The ritual can be adapted using saliva—which is what I used—and I made several other changes based on my own spiritual practices and intuition.
In the video, I take you through the ritual, the plants and other ingredients involved, the changes I made, and the unexpectedly intense experience that unfolded while I was performing it—and in the days that followed.
What Happened During the Ritual
I began by grounding myself, connecting with Mother Earth and Source, and calling upon Archangel Michael, Raphael, my guardian angels, spirit guides, ancestors, and loved ones who had passed to help and protect me.
Later, as I held the ritual bowl and focused on releasing whatever I had been carrying, I experienced an intense pain across my back accompanied by what sounded to me like a woman's scream. When I asked my spirits what it was, the only answer I received was:
“You don't want to know.”
Eventually, the pain and the scream abruptly stopped. Rather than continuing to search for an explanation, I decided to respect the message and let go of my need to understand exactly what I had experienced.
What Happened Afterwards
The experience didn't end when the ritual did. Over the following days, I noticed unusually vivid dreams, visits in dreams from loved ones who had passed, strong emotions, and the release of grief surrounding my father's death that I hadn't been able to express when he died.
For me, there was no question that something had shifted. The experience itself was extraordinarily intense, and afterward I felt as though a weight I had been carrying for a very long time had finally lifted.
I went into the ritual not knowing what to expect. I came out of it convinced that it had worked—and it's still one of the most powerful magical experiences I've ever had.
About the Ritual
The Saffron Blood Magic Purging Ritual comes from Juliet Diaz's book Plant Witchery. In the video, I explain the original ingredients and process as well as the ways I adapted the ritual to fit my own practice.
