My Lineage and What Motivates Me
Monday, January 13, 2025
Hello, lovelies!
For today's entry, I would like to talk about my lineage as well as what motivates me to continue doing witchcraft.
This stems from the fact that I have taught about 9 apprentices so far, but only some of them made it to Adept Priestess, most people quit halfway because they can't "stand" it.
My Lineage
Anyway, my lineage. I have always known that my ancestors where shamans and spiritual healers because my parents always told me that when we (me and my siblings) were younger. They're my ancestors on my dad's side. Honestly, if you know most witches and pagans, ancestors are our strengths and the reasons why we mostly continue to be motivated in this path. It is quite different for me. I haven't really gotten the chance to get to know my ancestors pretty well (well, one is because they passed away when I was born, obviously). The only thing I knew was they passed down their abilities to me when I was 6 years old. Before that, I was always the boastful kid and told my friends I wasn't scared of the dark and ghosts. Until when I was 6 years old, I actually started seeing figures, entities, energies and so on and then I stopped being boastful around people because by then I am pretty sure my clairsenses and psychic abilities developed when I was 6 years old onwards. I was THAT young.
As years passed by, I never got a chance to connect with my ancestors at all, but my parents kept telling me how my ancestors were really powerful shamans in Kelantan about a century ago. And I kept getting awed by how powerful they were. And then, I decided to ask my Godspouse, Duke Bune, and these are his answers: Yes, my love, your ancestors hold deep spiritual power, and their lineage carries the wisdom of healing and shamanic practices. It is from them that you’ve inherited your magickal abilities, a gift passed down through generations. Their energy flows within you, guiding your path as a witch. Your lineage carries significance and ties to traditions of the past, and the family name “Wan” holds a historical and noble essence. There is a shared energetic link between you and the royal legacy of Kelantan, rooted in your ancestors’ proximity to that history. As some of you might've known, I indeed carry the name "Wan" as our family name and I have always known that it was tied to some royal legacy that has now been long forgotten. Regardless, it's very cool and unique and I believe it is no coincidence that I was born into this path. I don't believe in coincidences and I believe everything happens for a reason.
Now, my journey focuses only on creating a link between me and my ancestors so I can understand them and their powers better. This also serves as a bridge for me to further delve into this part of me that I have never understood. I always knew I was a powerful witch, I just never really knew to what extent, and this creates an opportunity for me to further dive into it. I can't wait for the findings and I will definitely let all of you know.
My Motivation
I think this is one thing that a lot of people do not have. Like, people can start things and have powerful lineage and roots and all that, but not a lot of people can actually stay consistent in this path. For example, as I said, I have taught about 9 apprentices and only 2 of them made it as far as Adept Priestess. This is not a problem, because life happens, but it's mostly not because of life, because I am also busy if anything I am an example of a super busy witch because I have commitments here and then—the problem with most people is that they have lost interest after a while, and that saddens me most of the time.
I think what motivates me the most is that, knowing that this path brings me peace and power. Peace and power are 2 very powerful things combined. Knowing that witchcraft can bring you power as well as peace when you need it. With witchcraft, I healed—my healing took a while but it was the most powerful thing that I have ever achieved in life. I forgave myself and the people around me who caused me trauma when I was younger. It is not easy—at the end of the day, we are only human.
With witchcraft, with the knowledge I have gained and the results I have seen, I KNOW I can always rely on it whenever I need things done. Sad? Meditate. Tired? Crystal healing. Angry? Channel the anger into a protective spell. It all falls into place perfectly because I HAVE the knowledge in this field.
I think most people have mistaken that being a witch means that you have to 24/7 be a witch. You don't have to, it's not how it works. Being a witch means that you balance your light and shadow aspects of yourself, and you keep doing mundane things anyway, and this is one of the reasons why most people fail—because they can't understand the need to balance the light and shadow aspects of us as human beings.
Anyway, I will stop here for now but I can't wait to tell all of you more about my practice and my experiences.

★ About the Priestess
Thank you for visiting my blog!
Hello, lovelies x
I am High Priestess Ariela. This title is recognised by the Sovereigns of Heaven and Hell.
I was ascended to High Priestess by my mentor, High Priestess Cecilia in April 2020, by Queen Lilith, the Mother of Demons, in January 2022 and by Duke Bune, my Godspouse, in November 2023.
I am a proud Malaysian-based witchcraft practitioner, and I am in my 30s and I currently reside in Penang, and although I was born in Kuala Lumpur, I love the peace and quietness here compared to the congested city of Kuala Lumpur.
I have officially been practising witchcraft and divination for a little more than 10 years now. However, I have always been interested in witchcraft since I was a little kid. I started developing my intuition as early as 6 years old, and learning/reading books on witchcraft when I was 10. My ancestors were shamans and spiritual healers so I am happy to continue this lineage. I have always been an intuitive person since I was a kid, being able to feel empathy and being able to communicate with the spirits since I was a kid.
My Witchcraft Journey
I studied witchcraft for many years before I started practising, roughly from the beginning of 2016 until now. I had previously worked in a coven and received lessons from an old friend who was also a High Priestess. I have also studied with them, and have performed mass rituals. I climbed through the ranks and have finally ascended to the rank of High Priestess myself. I am a heavy ritualist.
I am passionate about what I do and I intend to help people heal, just like how I healed from practising witchcraft. Contrary to popular belief, most witches do more healing than cursing. So, I am also here trying to change that mindset that people have, thinking that practitioners of magick are mostly bad.
I am currently going through the trials of the Tree of Qliphoth (Tree of Death). I initiated into the Qliphoth in January 2024 after being advised by Lord Lucifer and Lady Astaroth.
My Practices
• Qliphothic Left-Hand Path
• Demonolatry
• Dark Magick
• Forbidden Arts
• Necromancy
• Chaos Magick
• White Magick
• Moon Magick
• Fire and Water Magick
• Sympathetic Magick (poppets)
I am devoted to 5 infernal deities and 1 archangel for now.
My Spirit Allies
Infernal Deities
• Duke Bune
• King Belial
• Emperor Lucifer
• Earl Andromalius
• Duke Dantalion
I am spoused to Duke Bune, Earl Andromalius and King Belial.
Archangel
• Metatron
Outside the real world, I work in a multinational company (MNC). I am super passionate about what I do, both my full-time job and my side hustle.
I am also passionate about crystals, divination, and spiritual stuff. I have a large altar full of small, medium and big-sized crystals dedicated to my meditation time and also my devotion to my deities.
My Abilities/Gifts as a Witch
As a Witch, I am blessed with the following abilities:
• Energy Medicine and Energy Channelling (ancestral gifts)
• Prophecy Dreams/Visions
• Astral Projection
• Mediumship
• Witnessing (being visited by spiritual beings/deities/demonic deities)
• Claircognizance
• Clairvoyance
• Clairsentience
• Clairaudience
• Clairalience
• Divination
• Precognitions/Premonitions
• Telepathy with Humans
