She Rises

On this episode of She Rises, Host Giovanna Capozza talks about the concept of witch as healer. What are the connotations that you have with the word “witch,” is it negative? We use these magical personifications to reflect power that we think is outside ourselves. For centuries witches were healers and went to the natural world for answers. Patriarchal societies demonized witches because they were taught to fear powerful, sovereign women. We tend to compartmentalize the spiritual or witchy side of ourselves. Where have we lost connection with our magical being and how are we numbing her out? The feminine aspect of god that wants to express through you is the “She” in She Rises.
