Hereditary witch

A hereditary witch is one who is born into a tradition of esoteric origin. These traditions are often not recorded, except maybe in grimoires which are also passed down, but rely primarily on oral and physical tradition.

Hereditary Witches are generational in that their skills in majick are passed down from one generation to another. Most tend to be solitaires with traditional, British, Mexican, Italian Stegheria or pecti-witan upbringing. The Hereditary Witch is most common in parts of the world where families live together most of their lives for generations and community services such as education and health services have remained inaccessible over several years such as Africa, the far northern regions of Scotland, remote regions of Ireland and Wales, island provinces such as Bali, etc. The precept that a Hereditary Witch is more powerful than the highly skilled Witch who does not claim a bloodline has not been proved. However, it has been proved recently that memories of our ancestors are reflected in our DNA. http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v17/n1/pdf/nn.3594.pdf. Modern science is just now opening the doors to neuroscience as it relates to DNA-modeled traits.
