I recently heard the quote "there are no gifts without diversity" (I forget where). I have been thinking about it a lot. We all have our own unique gifts and that is what MAKES them gift. All diversity is beautiful, and letting it thrive is powerful.
Thank you so much soul sister! This is just what I needed today as I am continuing to heal past shame and truly step fully into my power as a co-creator. I am so thankful for you and agree 100%. EFT tapping and movement through dance has helped me tremendously as Icontinue on this healing journey!
I found you accidentally from youtube search and I am so appreciative I did. I got so many insights from this podcast. Its truly a magical service to healing feminine. "Its so much easier to be in the outskirts in the woods alone and practice your magic." This is exactly how I feel. Thank you so much for your work and its broader impact.
Thank you for this important topic. I do have a serious witch wound and find myself working hard to move past. I hosted my first circle on this past full moon and pushed trough the fear of persecution and created a beautiful space to circle with a beautiful alter. Most of te women brought crystals, candles or oracle cards to add to the alter and I was so relieved. I still keep my practices close to my chest out of fear. My 10th Great grandmother was murdered in Salem so the wound is all throughout my lineage. I have been hungry for this topic so thank you. ❤️
Another topic that needed to be addressed and open up for deeper discussion. As women, we are so multi-faceted, that we forget about many of our characteristics and pieces of self. We let go of areas that might cause discomfort, but unless we bring all parts back in to a healed center … we will never be whole. We will never be able to be our true self, because we hide too many pieces. This was excellent at addressing this issue. I feel it right now as I relocate to another city … I find myself wondering ..’what part of me will be accepted? What part of me is ready to be exposed and vulnerable? What part of me will take the step and ‘come out’ and be all it can be? I loved how you addressed that by being in San Diego as you prepare for ‘coming back out.’ These are opportunities to be as whole as possible … allow freedom of your expression. Thanks Tanya…this will be a good discussion for me when I host my first women’s circle in my new city. ‘What part of you do you show the world? What part of you do you keep hidden, and why?’ Might be interesting, eh? :)
Recently, I was verbally assaulted and torn apart by another woman who didn’t really even know me except for a few minutes of conversation here and there. I felt a lot of assumption and projection, but I was vulnerable and naked when the attack happened. And, the most shocking part of it, was that it came from a so-called ‘spiritually advanced’ woman who guides other women in healing. I know I’m a strong personality and I am clear on what I can do and can’t do and don’t feel like I need to hide that when supposedly in a safe place, but not all women are ready to deal with other women’s strengths. It was quite an assault, but it opened my eyes to the witch wound once again. Do we ever heal this wound, when so many women are ‘pretending’ but ready to pounce? Hmmm.
I dont have a circle of sisters as tribe. The feeling is lonely but weirdly safe. As betraya hasl mostly come from women from young childhood. It would be lovely to experience such a sisterhood.
