Ancestry work

I keep hearing about the importance of ancestry work in Magick, about how it is the gate into Magick itself.

Come on, people, Crowley didn't do any ancestry work, same goes for Papus, Levi, Spare. Yet all of them were pretty skilled and powerful magi.

If your paradigm counts with ancestors then yes, they are important in your practice, for other paradigms, not so much. The thing is we all are different individuals with different practices, there is no key concept that would be same for all of us, some venerate ancestors, some worship deities, some conjure demons, some draw stuff on a piece of paper, and everyone can obtain the power.

Introduction I made my mind to slow down during holidays and return to my old hobby from the childhood: ninjas. As an occultist I have found few jewels. These jewels certainly weren't created by ninjas, but they were extensively used by them, given by the time, place and tradition. Kuji Kiri Kyu - nine Ji - syllable(s) Kiri - cut(s) Kuji Kiri is a simple ritual of doing nine cuts in the air with your hand, each of them being associated with one syllables.
