Understanding the Witch Wound

The witch wound is a term used to describe the collective trauma experienced by those who have been marginalized for their spiritual beliefs or intuitive gifts, particularly in women. This wound is linked to historical events like witch trials, where individuals expressing their connection to nature or their healing abilities were persecuted. The episode emphasizes that this cultural fear of magical practices and women's power has endured through generations, influencing contemporary feelings of guilt and shame around one's authentic self-expression. Healing this wound involves recognizing its deep roots in societal narratives and personal experiences of trauma, allowing individuals to reclaim their voice and identity.
