Mothers of mine, Grandmothers and Ancestresses,
Women of my Line — strong, radiant, and wise —
I call to you through time and blood,
through heart and breath, through the memory of the soul.

I thank you for life, for light, for resilience,
for standing firm when the world trembled,
for loving when the pain was great,
for walking the path — so that now it opens for me.

May your hands become wings behind my back,
and your love flow through me as strength.
May my heart be fortified by your faith,
and my path be illuminated by your light.

May your words sound through my voice,
your wisdom live in my choices,
and your protection guard me,
like an ancient charm of power and love.

I am the continuation of your breath.
I am the fire born of your light.
May the strength of the Lineage never cease within me —
now, forever, and through all ages.

So it was, so it is, so it shall be.

For strengthening inner stability, restoring ancestral connection, and awakening deep feminine power:

Light a candle — white or red — and place beside it something that symbolizes your lineage: old photographs, jewelry, embroidery, or any heirloom passed down through the women of your family.
Place your hand over your heart and imagine the women of your Lineage standing behind you.
Read this invocation aloud — slowly, mindfully, letting the words flow from your heart.
Feel how the ancestral current begins to move through you, filling you with power and love.

Call upon the Women of the Lineage before making important decisions, beginning new ventures, or in times of doubt — as an invocation for guidance and support.
If you feel weary, lost, or disconnected, use this as a meditation — a return to your roots.
In everyday practice, when you cannot recite the whole text, repeat a short formula — for instance:
“May the strength of my Lineage flow through me.”

During days of ancestral remembrance, women’s holidays, or full moons, this ritual can be performed together with the women of your family — creating a shared current of love and memory.

UPD In response to the questions I’ve been receiving, I want to add something important:

Sometimes an ancestral line carries not only love, but also pain. There are times when the women of the past couldn’t offer warmth — not because they didn’t want to, but because they themselves lived in fear, struggled to survive, or had been cut off from their own souls.
If betrayal repeated itself from generation to generation, you can address the women of your Lineage not as flawless figures, but as those who were weak, who stumbled — and yet still left you a chance to do things differently. After all, you now see what’s happening, and you can stop this pattern through a conscious choice of another stance.

Look deeper into your relationship with the Lineage, work through ancestral blocks, and continue your spiritual practices.

In this case, this invocation can become not gratitude for the past, but a kind of healing spell for the Lineage — a starting point for your different path.
