You don’t have to be a “witch” to have a “witch wound”, in fact I believe that every single woman is walking around with a witch wound.
To be honest, I don’t really identify with the WITCH archetype - I consider myself more of a Goddess, Priestess, Seductress, Queen - but WITCH is not something that I think of when I think of myself.
When you look up the definition of “witch” you find - a person (especially a woman) who is credited with having usually malignant supernatural powers. Or - a mean or ugly old woman, or even a charming or alluring girl or woman.
The word Witch comes with a lot of baggage, and usually conjures up images of women with green faces, black cats, and all things darkness.
But the “witches” weren’t women trying to bring darkness they were
The healers
The spiritual authorities or Priestesses
The women who were empowered in themselves
The women who wouldn’t adhere to society
The women who needed to be “put in their place”
The women who were sexually empowered
The women who spoke their minds or their truths.
These women were cast out, burned, put to death, shamed, and tortured.
Being cast out or disowned usually meant death because all a woman could truly hope for most of the past 3500 years was to be a “wife”; since we weren’t allowed to have our own money or own property or have any kind of agency over ourselves or our bodies.
The other day a friend of mine sent me a post about the Scold’s Bridle also called a Witch’s Bridle which is pictured below (from Wikipedia).
This was used when women would “speak out of turn” or do something that was not deemed appropriate by society standards she would be forced to wear this which would not allow her to talk. Often women were also forced to wear this as they were beaten in public.
They were shamed, tortured, and made an example of.
And let’s be real - this is just ONE of the many, many ways that women were controlled, oppressed, and forced to adhere to the Patriarchal standards that left us voiceless, powerless, disconnected from our Feminine Power and magic.
It is important to note that trauma is passed on through our cells for at least 4 generations. Yes - 4 generations.
The women who were tortured or even killed for being a “witch” and those watching all got the message that it was NOT ok to be your full self as a woman. And that sense that it is NOT SAFE
To Speak Your Truth
Heal
Be a Spiritual Leader
Speak Out of Turn
Be Sensually or Sexually Empowered
Go Against Society’s Roles for Women
And More
This was passed down in action, in behavior and in the CELLS of women.
These deep Patriarchal wounds are passed down mainly through women. Women pass down the Patriarchy as a way to keep each other and their daughters “safe”. If you know the “rules” and play by them then you won’t be cast out or killed. Which of course you are going to want to do and make sure that the women around you do as well.
So here you are in the year 2020 and you are wondering why you can’t speak up, set clear boundaries, completely disconnected from your body and your Feminine Power, be the leader you were born to be….
It isn’t because you are flawed, or not confident. It isn’t because you need another fucking mindset course or to create some powerful mantra. And it for sure is NOT because you are broken in any way.
To me the deepest wound of the Feminine is also the Witch Wound - and it is that it is NOT OK (specifically SAFE) to be my full self as a woman.
THIS is the wound we are here to heal right now because we won’t actually be made to wear some weird slightly S&M looking mask to keep us from speaking our truths anymore.
So what is the antidote?!
It is actually to own your SEXUAL POWER.
The scariest thing to the Patriarchy is a woman who is sovereign within herself and that means OWNING your sexual power and energy. Because when you do that you can not be controlled, you can not be oppressed, and you will not stay silent.
This also requires you to heal, embrace and celebrate your body on a whole new level which will actually allow you to release the TRAUMA of the Witch Wound that has been stored in your cells and in your nervous system.
Yes - there are some mental things, mantras, and mindset shifts that will be required but the majority of this healing, the majority of what it takes to TRULY access your power is to connect to Pussy, and to awaken your Sexual Power.
THIS is what the new FEMININE leader looks like. It is a woman who is FULLY EMBODIED, sovereign within herself, and her FULLEST EXPRESSION.
In order for you to TRULY lead, to TRULY feel empowered you have to address this “witch wound” - the fear that it is not ok to be who you truly are.
Pussy is the medicine,
she is the antidote,
she is the answer.
Our time is now. It is time for us to be Fully Empowered in our Feminine. Fully owning who you are and being the fullest expression of yourself.
You want this, the world needs it.
