Understanding the Witch's Wound™

The term "Witch's Wound" represents the deep wound women carry around that pertains to their fear of being seen or heard for fear of persecution. In ancient times women used to be revered for their gifts and seen as powerful goddesses in human form. It wasn't until the patriarchal energy that women started being seen as dangerous and therefor needing to be oppressed. As a result of this oppression, women began to feel as if it was unsafe to be seen for the powerful, wise, magical beings they were for fear of being labeled as a witch and being tortured and killed.

A Witch’s Wound can manifest itself in many different ways. The fear of being seen, not feeling like one can trust them self, lack of confidence, poor or low self-esteem and self worth, lack of motivation, inability to let go of the past, inability to trust, never feeling safe and secure and many others are surface ways we can see our Witch’s Wound at work in our everyday lives. While we still operate from our wounded space we will display the Shadow aspects of our Wounded Witch Archetype, which can lead to behaviors that prevent us from moving forward and realizing our dreams while we stay stuck repeating the same destructive patterns.

Within a 300 year period between 3-5 Million women were killed for simply shining too brightly. This created a wounding that was passed down generation to generation and even stored in our DNA as cellular memories from past life experiences. Due to our Witch's Wound, many of us have carried on the mantle of oppression by suppressing our own gifts as women, and continue to hide ourselves from the world for fear of the consequences of being seen. Our gifts lie within our Witch's Wound and as that wound is healed, we will be able to access and tap into those gifts and feel safe sharing them with those we feel called to share them with. Your gifts are meant to be shared. Don’t you dare doubt yourself - this is what you were born to do.
