The "Witch Wound" is a "collective, intergenerational, psychic wound that is rooted in the Burning Times-- a widespread persecution and violence against suspected witches" (Celeste Larsen, The Witch Wound). 

Due to the mass amount of violence of the Burning Times or Witch Trials, women have learned to remain silent and to shrink themselves as an act of survival. Although 80% of the victims were women, it's important to recognise male and non-binary victims as well. Anyone who dared to be different became targets. We lost healers, knowledge spreaders, and storytellers. Many of the people who stood up endured immense amount of pain and torture. It's not surprising that modern people fear sharing our spiritual gifts, ignore our intuition, and are constantly limited by shame. 

When we expand ourselves, share our gifts, and listen to the wisdom within we begin to heal ourselves and help those around us heal. We begin to break cycles and remove chains.

Whenever you have trouble speaking up during a meeting, resort to people pleasing, hide your emotions, ignore your PMS, or feel your light dim these are examples of the Witch Wound showing up in your life.  

There was a time when women were burned alive for stepping out of line. Time and time again, our ancestors were silenced. It's no wonder we still struggle with claiming our power, especially with the weight of the world. It's the perfect time to come together, heal, and create a brighter future together.
