The Witch Wound

You were not born with the fear of being seen, nor were you were born with the ache of doubting your own voice.

These are old stories, carried in our bones and our blood.

This is the Witch Wound.

It is a deep, inherited fear that has been passed down through generations - a fear of being seen, of standing in your power, and of expressing your magick.

Whether through historical persecution, societal conditioning, or ancestral trauma, this wound has influenced the way many of us show up in the world and in ways that we often don't even realise until we begin the process of healing it.

The Witch Wound is the scar left by centuries of persecution, silencing, and control.

It’s not only about witches burned at the stake; it’s about the way those memories live on in us through ancestral and generational trauma.

It shows up as:

  • Fear of being visible or “too much”

  • Holding back your voice

  • People-pleasing to stay safe

  • Distrust of your own magick, intuition, or body

  • A deep ache that you’re here for something more, but feeling unsafe to step into it

It is both collective and personal - passed down through generations and lived in the daily ways we shrink ourselves.

What does it matter now?

We live in a time where witches are no longer burned, but many of us still carry the same fear:

  • That if we are seen, we will be judged, persecuted or humiliated.

  • That if we step into our power and be truly authentic, we will be punished or rejected.

  • That our magick, our sensitivity, our gifts are dangerous or ridiculous.

Healing the Witch Wound isn’t just about the past, but rather it’s about reclaiming your right to be visible, safe, powerful, and free; in your relationships, in your life and in your work.

If this feels familiar, you are not imagining it - and you are not broken.

The wound can be softened; the wisdom can be reclaimed and my love, your voice can rise again.
