To Call Upon Our Ancestors

A powerful spell that will call upon the ancestors of the Charmed Ones for whatever purpose they need ancestral assistance with, such as vanquishing demons. It was first used in season 4 in Charmed and Dangerous to vanquish the Source. The sisters were preparing for the Source's impending attack, knowing it was imminent. They had a plan to trap him in a Crystal Cage upon attack. The Source, after absorbingThe Hollow attacked the sisters at the manor. Upon attacking, Piper attempted to freeze the Source but with the power of the Hollow within  him, he absorbed her power, leaving her powerless. After that, the Source attacked again, they attempted to vanquish him with a spell they created but it was unsuccessful. He then attacked them again in the manor, following them  to the attic. Upon attacking the sisters and injuring Piper, Cole appeared and was able to distract and weaken the Source with his energy balls and ultimately absorbing the Hollow; they trapped the Source in the crystal cage. The sisters then used the spell to call upon their ancestors to successfully vanquish him.

The next time it was used was in the season 5 episode The Eyes Have It, wherein which a page in the Book of Shadows was seen. A Gypsy hunter, Orin attacked a group of Shuvanis, the Niccolis. He attacks at the manor and Ava and the sisters replace the Halliwell names with those of the Niccolli's.

It was then used in Sympathhy For The Demon in an attempt to vanquish Barbas; it was unsuccessful.
