Chats with Aunt Jacki - Protection Magic for Women: The Motherline Has Your Back with Cairelle Perilloux

Where do you go for protection when life gets hard? In this episode of Chats with Aunt Jacki, I sit down with Cairelle Perilloux, author of The Magic in Your Genes and the upcoming Motherline Grimoire, to talk about ancestor magic, the maternal line, inherited survival patterns, and the deep protection carried through generations of women. This conversation is about power, lineage, boundaries, and remembering that you are not starting from zero. When something goes wrong, when you feel scared, depleted, threatened, or unsure, where do you go for protection? A spell? A crystal? Your anger? A trusted friend? Your own stubborn refusal to fold? In this episode of Chats with Aunt Jacki, I’m joined by Cairelle Perilloux, author of The Magic in Your Genes and the upcoming Motherline Grimoire, for a powerful conversation about protection, power, and the ancestral strength carried through the maternal line. Cairelle is a genealogist, integrative RN, and magical practitioner whose work brings together ancestry, DNA, science, magic, and deep spiritual relationship. Together, we talk about the motherline, the women who came before us, and the patterns we inherit, both the ones that protect us and the ones we are here to interrupt. We explore how women have survived through silence, back-channel communication, intuition, endurance, adaptation, and fierce quiet strength. We also talk about what changes when protection stops being automatic fear and becomes conscious choice. This conversation moves through boundaries, inherited compliance, medical advocacy, ancestor altars, mitochondrial DNA, the power of naming your mothers, and what it means to walk through the world aware, but unafraid. Because you are not starting from zero. Your mothers are behind you. Your grandmothers are behind you. Your lineage has already survived more than you can imagine. And maybe the protection you’ve been looking for has been in your bones all along.
