What Does It Mean To Be A Witch?
By Suzie Zurn
What does it really mean to be a Witch? Forget about the dry and sterile Oxford meaning of the word Witch.
Forget about the character in a horror film, the Disney villain, the devil worshiper that society thinks Witches are. What does it really mean to call yourself a Witch?
Witches are all-powerful manifestors, in tune with their feminine nature; they dance with the dark and are unafraid. They are nurturers, empaths, midwives, healers, wise women, mystics, and diviners.
They honor the cycles of the moon and Mother Nature. We are your mothers, grandmothers, aunts, co-workers, neighbors, and friends.
Witches are unapologetic for a reason. Historically we have had to overcome prejudice, persecution, being outcasts and living in fear. In some places in the
world we still are.
Tell a Witch she can’t do something and watch how powerful she truly is. Be forewarned, don’t poke the Witch.
Let me take you back in time to your childhood. Do you remember a time when you were sick and Grandma’s hot chicken soup and lemon tea with honey were the only thing that made things better?
This is because your Grandmother was a wise woman who could make magic in the kitchen. Her big ‘ole pot on the stove was her modern day cauldron.
