#tvd magic

I know the NOLA witches practice Ancestral Magic (it's Spirit Magic but only limited to NOLA soil and created millennia after Qetsiyah), but I'm wondering if certain branches in general existed in a different variant, or were perhaps gotten lost or extinct as a practice and now rediscovered.

I don't regard the Legacies lore as canon.

The writers took liberties with TO with the magic lore and introduced certain witches there to overshadow/forget/undermine what we already knew in TVD 😒😒

Either way, I thought more about my theory and lean more to: magic and witchraft are as old as Naure itself. These practices simply went extinct, and the knowledge was lost in time. Then, lo and behold came prodigy witch Qetsiyah, who rediscovered and introduced, albeit not on purpose, Spirit Magic. The same goes with other witches who reinvented the other types of witchraft that came afterward.

Now that I'm writing this, I want to add that I think all magic originally come from a single source, but with each having their own pros/cons and differences to how/why each is used for specific situations.

So, an example would be that all magic can resurrect a dead person, but the conditions are harsher for Spirit magic cause you have witches who are the ones that decide the rules (the ressurected person becomes a medium).
