#114 You're a Witch

A witch is a magical being. I started identifying as a witch a few years ago when I realized the TRUE meaning of witch. Not what Hollywood or the patriarchy paints witches as. You’re a witch too…or at least, I see you as one :) I know a lot of people that identify as witches who are afraid to talk about it and share their experiences because there is a witch wound that lives in us. This wounding dates back to the Salem Witch Trials and all the prejudice that stemmed from the patriarchy removing healers from homes and communities. I recently hosted an in-person Full Moon Circle here in Truckee, CA and I felt so much anxiety prior to the event. Just a few days before the gathering, through breathwork, I realized it was my witch wound causing the anxiety. Even though I feel safe to openly speak and share about my identity as a witch, I still have this deeply rooted witch wound that I am consciously working on healing. It's rare that witches have a safe space to really surrender into the flow of the Universe and receive our magic. So, I created my own safe community where witches across the world can show up as themselves to gather, share, surrender, receive, and manifest. In this episode, I talk about what being a witch means to me - spells, potions, and my relationship to those things. I also talk about once you realize you're a witch, what to do next.
