Burned at the stake…
Drowned…
Your wisdom denied…
Your power shut down or hidden…
It’s time we heal the Wound of the Witch.
Witches were perceived as evil beings by early Christians in Europe, inspiring the iconic Halloween figure. Even though we associated witches primarily with this archetype, witches are multi-cultural and multi-ethnic.
Images of witches have appeared in various forms throughout history—from evil, wart-nosed women huddling over a cauldron of boiling liquid to hag-faced, cackling beings riding through the sky on brooms wearing pointy hats. In pop culture, the witch has been portrayed as a benevolent, nose-twitching suburban housewife; an awkward teenager learning to control her powers and a trio of charmed sisters battling the forces of evil.
The real history of witches, however, is dark and, often for the witches, deadly.
The majority of people killed for witchcraft historically was predominantly women. About 10-15% of witches killed were men.
Witches are healers, medicine women and men, shamans, priestesses and priests, teachers, the ones who owned the sacred mysteries and learned how to cultivate the Will, the Words and the Way.
It is the Witch who knows the whisperings that bring a person “back from the dead”, how to restore wellness and vitality, to harness the forces of nature and the cosmos to create and to read the patterns of nature to predict the future in order to keep others safe.
The witch is the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone, the ones who embody passion, compassion and seeks to build a lasting legacy that is in harmony with the Truth.
For hundreds of years we’ve tried to kill the Witch.
We’ve been afraid of her wisdom. We’ve been terrified of her Truth. We’ve sought to control her power. We’ve tried to extinguish her Will. We burned her Words. We’ve blocked her Way.
And still, we feel her.
The Magik twitching, electric in us. The longing to say the Truth, to pull the strings of the Cosmos and heal the world, to fight and protect those who have forgotten their power and to initiate the children into living in alignment with the Heartbeat of the Mother. We’ve denied but secretly craved her.
Do you relate to this?
As you read these words, do they resonate deep within you, awakening a potent memory that you forced yourself to bury because you learned at an early age that it’s not safe to listen, it’s not allowed for you to speak, it’s forbidden for you to follow the path that you know is yours to follow….
Did you learn to disconnect from the whisperings of the wisdom that guides you, to deny the words that proclaimed your value, your power, your knowingness and to block your path so that when the Truth (and the moon) called you refused to walk, glued inside the box that was built for you that contains the expectations and obligations that make you “nice” and “successful”.
We are often complicit in the killing of our own inner Witch, the Wise One that lives within us.
"The Witch is the Healer, the Guardian of the Mother, the Heart and the Power that creates, the Teacher and the Leader. It’s time we bring her back."
Hi!
I’m Karen Curry Parker. I’m a multiple best-selling author, one of the world’s top authorities on Human Design, the creator of a powerful healing system called the Quantum Alignment System, an expert on using the power of archetypes to heal (I’m actually getting my Ph.d in this field), a publisher and podcaster, a former midwife, a coach, a mother, a daughter and a grandmother.
I’m also a witch.
I don’t wear a pointy hat, eat children or cast curses.
But I do use my intuition, the power of words to create and I innately understand my role as a Healer, a Guardian of the Earth, an activator of Heart and Power, a Teacher and a Quantum Creator of the world in which I live.
For hundreds of years, the collective fear of our innate feminine power has caused us to kill witches.
“Witches” stood in the way of religious power and control. “Witches” could heal people with their knowledge, their Hearts and their herbs, often better than physicians. (Did you know it was the “witch”, Florence Nightingale, who taught physicians to wash their hands between patients to prevent the spread of infection?)
Witches could foretell the future by paying attention to patterns and if the powers-that-be didn’t like the obvious facts, they killed the witches.
To be a witch meant you stood in your power, spoke your truth, used your gifts to help others, compelled people to do the right thing, created with the future in mind, offered care and compassion to your community, had a deep connection to Source and built the world around you with unwavering faith.
To step into our true power, our ability to heal and align the world, to take up our roles as Healers, Guardians of the Mother, Leaders, Teachers and Builders of an equitable, peaceful, just and sustainable world, we must heal the Witch Wound.
In all the years that I’ve worked as a Healer in the world, I’ve watched people again and again, hold themselves back because of the Witch Wound.
The Witch Wound is the ancestral and spiritual memory of hundreds of years of being killed for your wisdom, your intuition and your healing ability. We store this wound on a genetic level. It’s in our cells, in the dark recesses of our mind and it still plays out archetypically and literally on the planet to this day. (People are still being killed for being witches.)
What are some of the symptoms of the Witch Wound?
• Guilt
• Shame
• Fear
• Shutting down your power
• Denying your desires
• Feeling cut off or disconnected from your true identity
• Not valuing yourself
• Not setting good boundaries
• Over-pleasing
• Hiding out
If you feel your Purpose burning inside of you but you hold yourself back, struggle with visibility, have a self-sabotage pattern that keeps you stuck in the same place, are afraid to speak your Truth and fear saying what is yours to say, you may be struggling with the ancestral lineage of your Witch heritage.
Science tells us that we can carry up to 14 generations of memories in the proteins that regulate the expression of our DNA. The odds are pretty high that you have a witch in your ancestral pedigree.
It’s time to heal the Witch Wound.
Magik, REAL Magik, requires that we suspend all doubts and beliefs in the fixed formulas of life.
It requires a deep ability to navigate the formless with confidence and power, directing Life Force with the intention to help the world move towards unity, coherence and to evolve. It requires a willingness to listen, the ability to transform the Divine into language and a way to transmit and share your knowledge and power.
But when we carry the Witch Wound, our egos (the Will) are bruised and broken - the downfall of all witches in fairy tales - we misuse the power of language and we cast spells that manifest a world that doesn’t reflect our true power and the truth of who we really are - midwives here to heal the world and help birth a better future.
When we heal the Witch Wound we use our power for the greater good, to defend the innocent, to feed the hungry, to bend time and disapparate the limiting patterns of the material world.
Healed Witches create with unwavering faith that is fully supported by the Cosmos. We use our power to unlock the illusion of the material plane.
The Will. The Words. The Way.
