To Call Blood to Blood is a spell written in the Halliwell Book of Shadows. It allows witches to summon their ancestors or long lost relatives. The spell temporarily resurrects the summoned ancestors giving them in flesh and blood, and their descendants' powers.
History[]
In 1998, the Charmed Ones used this spell to summon their ancestor Melinda Warren to help them defeat a powerful warlock from her past. After they defeated Matthew, they reversed the spell and sent Melinda back.[1]
Three years later, a distraught Piper Halliwell cast the spell (as part of the "To Call a Lost Witch" spell) in hopes of reviving her recently deceased sister, though the spell actually guided her half-sister Paige Matthews to them.[2]
Eight years later, Phoebe Halliwell attempted to use this spell to summon the mate of Neena, the first witch, from another plane. However, the spell did not work and the after effects nearly caused the attic to be destroyed.[3]
