Hello to you listening in New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Washington!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, The Witch of Whidbey.

Maybe like me you were discouraged from displaying your womanly witchy powers, dismissed for dabbling in sparks of magic that would heal the world, disowned for seeing beyond everyday reality to the visionary knowledge born of imagination, curiosity, and self-expression.

But, it’s never too late to remind yourself of the woman you are and the witch wound you are ready to heal.

THE WITCH WOUND

“They call it the witch wound.

We were punished you see, broken, slain, for shining too brightly.

So we learned to hide that spark.

We learned to play it down, play dumb, play dead.

And we were taught to fear the light within us, lest it herald our downfall

But not anymore.

You are not a wicked witch my friend, you are quite simply, or complicatedly, a woman.

And your magic is not something you can choose, or lose.

It always is, and always has lived within you.

And you need no longer hide it.

I call it the witch wound, but the time to heal is here.

Now.

Let that magic out.” [~Donna Ashworth – Witch Wound, from ‘Wild Hope’ –   UK: https://amzn.eu/d/2j0Nquu –   US: https://a.co/d/h6FEaTv]

No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
