The power to curse one's own children removed

 A brief whisper of understanding wafted through me as I was cleansed. 

We are born in and through the spirits of our mothers while our  mothers were still within the spirit of their mothers. Jealousy of a son or daughter, the desire in a father or mother to fornicate with their child, the ability to do that which is forbidden; they sought the magic despite the  consequences. So it became that any parental words carried the power of cursing if  we  are born through such a bloodline. "You're going to..." "You're just being...." "You're just like me..." It's in any declaration. Our grandmothers speak it over us when they speak it over their own daughters. It is spoken when we believe, think, say bad things about ourselves before our children are adults.

This must be removed from our blood.

This can only be done by one.

This is why it is said that one must partake of the body and blood. This is why we must deny fleshly familial relations/not derive clout nor shame from them. His flesh and blood replace our biological inheritance.

For, you see, the power to curse one's children is it's self a curse because that one can no longer bless children. A vessel used for curses can not be used for blessings.

This, with appreciation, was given to and received by me only as the only one capable of it, cleansed it from  me.
