Thank you for this story. In the Netherlands, the national witches' monument was established on June 3, 2023 to commemorate all the witches who were so unjustly and horribly executed. Every year on June 3, I commemorate with white flowers š¤
That really is beautiful Gerrie, it has been such a powerful connection in these last few weeks. Iām sure that they are most grateful that you honour them in this way. š«š
This is so powerful Louise. I have just read it and wow! You are so held in the wisdom, guidance and truth of what you do - it radiates and illuminates from each word.
I resonate so much with what you write here..it is the release from pain and torment that you are gifting these women, and ALL WOMEN who were deemed "bad witches." Your post triggered tears in me. The truth of what we have all been through, the truth of what we may still hold in our cellular memories, the truth that has lead us/me now to this role in this lifetime.
Sam, it is the most wonderful gift to see you here. I was literally about to hop over to your post to comment, which I will do. I am grateful for your words, as always it's the most wonderful acknowledgement of what has come through. Thank you for that and your kindness. x
Oh, Louise, I wish I could hit the like button for this one a thousand times! As I listened to your ritual, I truly did feel myself go back in time and was very much with you as you cleared the land for the Flower women. It was incredibly powerful and such an honor to me to witness your work this way. Thank you SO much for sharing this! I have read Caliban and love it (and now can't wait to listen to the podcast you recommend.) Another book I love, though it's emotionally challenging to read, is called Witchcraze by Anne Barstow. The witch wound is a deep ancestral wounding that many of us carry. It's a big part of the ancestral healing work I do. And it's also the reason I named my Substack Witchcraft & Metaphysics. It was so important to me to honor these grandmothers (and grandfathers to a lesser extent) of ours whose suffering made our life experiences possible. I can't quite put into words how important this is to me. I also love your call to take this beautiful, potent, yet easy to replicate, ritual that you've shared into our own localities. Think of how much healing will take place when we all carry this work forth! Blessings and love to you, my friend! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Jenna, I knew this would speak to you, as I said I canāt explain how powerful it felt and how close it felt to some of the work Iāve seen you do. This is the one I was going to ask you about as Iāve never been asked to do this before. At the last minute I decided to trust my instinct and it seemed to go ok. I would be grateful if you could add anything that I might want to think about next time. I feel the witch wound coming up everywhere at the minute, itās very close the the surface. I feel so honoured to have been asked to take part in this and to know that you are there too. Thank you so much for the book recommendation, I feel there is yet more for me to discover! š«š
I completely agree with this Louise! And feel deeply in my bones that the energy rising right now is calling to all priestesses, healers, witches, shamans, animists, etc. Now is the time, "to bring the change of the New Earth." Thanks for ritual you did to clear the land and to heal the past of this specific trauma. This truly is a grass roots way of moving together. Each contributing, each becoming part of the web.
How odd (actually not) that I discovered this now, Louise as I have just finished listening to the wonderful Witch podcast that youāve referenced here. The pictures youāve shared have me riveted. Thank you for your work and wisdom. šāØš
It's one from the archive Lori, but I felt guided to put it out again. I love that podcast series, I most go back and finish it. Thank you for bringing your presence here. xx
I just participated in your land clearing and witnessing ritual above, and was there as witness with you in quantum time. As you spoke and arrived at the core of the clearing, I experienced a number of deep somatic releases and indeed felt the land and ancestral wounds shift and clear. Such powerful work: thank you, Louise, for hearing the call, and then calling us in to witness and heal in community.
Oh wow Kathryn, thank you so much for participating and being part of this energy, it felt like such an honour and I am honoured that you have been witness to it. I know that the ancestors and the land are truly grateful and that you felt that personal shift is magical. š«š
I have this book! Itās very academic and a hard read for me. A couple of months ago, the week of the witch came through to me in the night as a time to roll out my new circle series for those of us who live with invisible illness. I had never heard of week of the witch before but the guidance is strong so I am working towards launching end October ! š§š¼āāļøš§š¼

Yes Julie, imagine the movement if we all do the bit we are called to, how powerful and magical will that be. Iām here for that!

Louise, thank you for the amazing history lesson. You are there to do important work and I appreciate you sharing it with us.
Thank you Donna and for lighting the way for those who need your unique brilliance to show them the way. š«š

Oh that sounds brilliant Amber, youāll have to tell me more about it.
Oh wow, I need to look into this more as I have ancestors who lived in Belvoir Castle. Thanks for sharing this.
Oh thatās amazing Phoebe, youāll have to let m know what you discover.
