There is an imprint in the collective psyche of all women.
It is the fear of persecution for embodying our power and speaking our truth.
It is the fear of being seen as a wise woman in this moment.
It is the fear of being vulnerable to attack,
The more accessible that we are to society,
The more we are seen in our gifts.
It is this fear of exposure,
Of just how remarkable and powerful we really are that causes us to hide,
To play small and to deny our gifts to ourselves and to the world.
Because we remember the betrayal.
We remember it in our cells just like it was yesterday and we wear it like a cloak around us at all times.
We remember being outcast,
Being told we don't belong,
Being banished from parts of society we remember that the witch wound is real.
Sometimes we want to speak.
We want to share our song and our voice with the world,
Dance free,
Share our divine bodies and be seen fully unencumbered.
And yet we feel this shadow of judgment,
This fear of persecution from our family members,
From society and we feel this lack of safety in our entire world.
We try to speak but our words feel choked.
And now even worse than that,
As we hide in the shadows every time we contract,
We judge ourselves for not breaking free,
For not being past this yet.
Take a deep breath into that.
And now let's take a moment to ground this pain,
This wound.
And as we ground this wound deep into the earth,
We ask the earth,
Mother,
To take,
Take this pain that is ours but is not ours,
It does not belong to us.
It is a psychic impression in the collective,
It is handed down from all of our ancestors from generation to generation.
It is something that we remember from past lives and at the same time we are able to let it go.
In a sacred offering take a deep breath and as you exhale allow a low tone to admit through your voice,
Down deep through the root,
The sacral,
The belly.
Deep breath in and let go and surrender that trauma down deep into the roots of mother earth.
Feel yourself so grounded,
Rooted down as the drum ceases,
Feel held in space.
Gather all of your energy into this present moment and realize how safe you actually are.
This time is not the time where we were persecuted,
Even though we remember.
We have more freedom now and we get to choose.
And now we are going to offer our voice,
We're going to offer a blessing,
Allowing ourselves to pray and to release.
All of the emotions that you are carrying,
Allow them to sound now through your voice.
It doesn't have to be loud,
But it can be fierce,
It can be a growl or a hum or maybe some primal sound from your womb or heart.
You are safe to express your soul's longing in this moment.
Maybe it's frustration for all the times you could not speak and you wouldn't allow yourself to be seen.
Maybe it's the longing and the desire to fully be seen and cherished and held throughout all time.
Whatever it is,
Use your voice to express this beauty now.
And through vocal toning,
Allow yourself to release the emotions that you're carrying for lifetimes.
I reclaim my sovereignty.
I reclaim all parts from past,
Present,
Future lives.
In this moment,
I am whole,
I am free,
I am released from all karmic baggage.
I am clear now.
From this moment,
I reclaim my power.
From this moment.
And now,
Let's sing a song of celebration.
Allowing yourself to reunite all of those lost parts into one cohesive whole.
Feel yourself as if you had wings and spread them wide fearlessly.
Allow yourself to emit a sound of purity,
Of liberation,
And of offering yourself to who you are and your sacred,
Divine expression.
Start to imagine all of the circumstances that you would have in the past given away your power to.
And start to show up differently in your mind's eye.
Now,
With your wings expanded behind you,
With the healing of your ancestral trauma intact,
And walk forward into your life with a new sense of purpose,
Of safety,
Of clarity,
And of direction.
Imagine your guardian angels and all of your guides,
Ancestors standing around you,
Applauding you in this new reality.
They have been waiting for you to make the choice to reclaim your power,
To choose to shine,
To activate the potential of who you really are and to ground the sorrow and the suffering into the earth and into the past.
Bring your psyche of all of the imprints of long ago so that you can fully embody yourself in this now moment.
Knowing that it is your destiny to transform your wounds into wisdom and to walk as if you have wings.
So that you can be a gift,
An embodiment of the magic that you are and teach.
To be a witch is to be a teacher,
To be committed to a higher path where you will heal and serve and love,
In service to right relationship with the elements and all things.
May you remember who you are.
May you radiate only light,
Only love,
And only healing.
May you remember who you are.
