I always feel gutted when I learn more about the women who were accused and killed during the witch trials. I think part of it is that a lot of women were accused by other women - knowing full well what the consequences would be. But how is sisterhood fostered when you are lorded over and fearful all the time? It makes me sick and sad all at once. I've had the book Healing The Witch Wound on my shelf for a bit. It's time to read it. Thanks for your knowledge and wisdom, Regina. xo

May her spirit see us thriving, and may she know peace in her passing…talk of the witch trials makes me feel both nauseous and livid simultaneously… the dragons within rise, steam slowly seeping from their nostrils… the dark mothers rise, shaking their head at the brittle control of corrupted power…

The hanged man really is such a complicated and insightful character. Thank you, as ever, Regina, for this exploration 🤍

Thank you for this beautiful comment, Heather. This has been the most difficult piece to write so far, Ann’s tragedy has been weighing heavily on my heart all week, visiting me in meditation and in dream state. It has taken me far longer than any of the other posts, each word dropping heavier than the last. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. 🙏🏽
