Exploring witch wounds


"Witch wounds," are deeply ingrained generational traumas passed down through lineages. these wounds manifest as fear, people-pleasing tendencies, and suppression of one's gifts and voice, rooted in the historical persecution of women healers and truth-seekers, this feels like an overwhelming sense of these manifestations i.e.: all this fear and no idea where it comes from.


Navigating conditioning and suppression


societal conditioning as spent generations suppressing the healers/ truth seekers if I use the metaphor of an elephant conditioned by a leash, this highlights how individuals remain constrained by past influences even after physical restraints are removed. The perpetuation of suppression and resentment through generations, is fueled by societal norms and gender roles.


Redefining education and empowerment


It’s time to Shift the focus to the purpose of education, advocating for a paradigm shift towards empowering individuals to make informed decisions and develop resilience, to stand in their power. Challenge established norms and societal constructs, particularly regarding gender roles and systemic suppression.


Conclusion


Reflect on the multifaceted nature of generational trauma and societal conditioning, and the impact it has on individuals, even more so now the importance of questioning established norms and finding your path to healing that aligns with you.
