The Wound
There’s a quiet pain many women carry, an inherited wound rooted in centuries of suppression, betrayal, and fear. We call this the “witch wound,” and beneath all of its layers lies a sacred truth: we are divine beings, born to thrive in sisterhood, not compete or tear each other down. Yet, this wound has created a narrative that whispers, sometimes loudly, that we must fight for worthiness, for love, for recognition. That in order to be seen, we must outshine or undermine any sister who dares to step into her power.
My Personal Reflection
We all have a story right? Well, in the story of me and who I am now is directly related to the family I was raised in, I come from a family of all girls. My mother, whom I now know as the leader of the “mean girls,” taught me through her actions and words the deep pain of a woman disconnected from her own shadow. I am currently in no contact with her. I wish she could see herself clearly, see her wounds and her light, but I realize part of my soul’s purpose here is to hold space for that healing, both within myself and in the collective feminine. My love for my sisters is fierce and unwavering. I love them in a way I’ve never loved anyone else. But the bloodline of the feminine wound runs thick, and I’ve had to walk away from traumatic bonds forged in competition, jealousy, the good girl wound, religious conditioning, and shame-based loyalty, bonds that kept us from facing our shadows or truly seeing each other.
It’s not easy to walk away from what’s familiar, even if it’s painful. But sometimes, in those moments of choosing ourselves, we give the greatest gift: the space to heal, to transform, and to reclaim our power. That knowledge within me, that deep, unwavering love for my sisters- drives my passion for sisterhood. Because I know firsthand how healing this wound can be when women come together, acknowledge one another’s divine worth, and support each other’s growth.
Breaking Free from Victim & Punisher Roles
In today’s world, I see many women caught in a complicated web of victimhood and control. It’s so easy to fall into the script where we blame others or feel powerless, forgetting that sometimes, the roles we play, victim or punisher, are just different sides of the same wound. We often try to control our circumstances and protect ourselves because the wounds of patriarchy have made vulnerability feel dangerous. But the truth is, we have the power to shift this narrative.
We can change by doing the inner work, by seeing our shadows without judgment and choosing compassion over reaction. We can support each other as sisters rather than rivals. And yes, it’s hard. It’s uncomfortable to confront the places where our egos want to fight and judge, but that’s the only way to truly heal. Some of my most profound healing moments have been when I asked someone to forgive me for my wrongs, knowing they would never admit their part that triggered my actions. I chose to come clean, to allow someone I had wronged to know that I knew what I had done was not in integrity with who I was. I walked away feeling physically lighter, and she didn't take ownership of anything. We walk a healing path not to hold others responsible but to take responsibility for our lives, regardless of what anyone else is doing or not doing. This is letting go, when we seek revenge, or justice in a situation we are purely supposed to learn to walk away from. We must learn to hold space for our own darkness and the darkness in others, knowing that in that collective shadow, a seed of light waits to be birthed.
Our roots are tangled in trauma, but we are not bound by our bloodline. The feminine wound runs deep, yes, that legacy of suppressing women’s power, pitting us against each other. But we hold the key to loosening those chains. We have the ability and responsibility to rewrite this story, to choose a new path rooted in love, cooperation, and mutual support. To see each woman’s divine spark and celebrate her journey, not compete with it.
Eris’s Astrology Exposes Hidden Shadows
Eris, the goddess of chaos and upheaval, reminds us that exposing our shadow is necessary for growth. Her planetary movements are a cosmic push for us to wake up, to see what’s hidden in our communities and within ourselves, and to choose another way. We’re not here to perfect ourselves or pretend we’re beyond our wounds. We’re here to be honest, to confront, and to support each other through the healing process.
Because at the core, our purpose is universal: to balance the divine masculine and feminine within ourselves and across humanity. That means shedding our wounds and choosing love over fear. It means understanding that true power isn’t in dominating others, but in lifting them up. It’s realizing that our greatest strength lies in sisterhood—supporting each other’s rising because we know, deep within, that when one woman shines, we all shine brighter.
So I invite you, whether you’re still healing your own wounds, navigating betrayal or heartbreak, or simply trying to find the courage to be your authentic self, to remember: you’re not alone. The work is hard, yes. And it’s also revolutionary. Because when we stand together, unshakable in our truth and love, we birth a new world where the divine feminine rises, whole, healed, and free.
We carry the legacy of our foremothers, and we also hold the power to change history. By supporting one another, giving credit where it’s due, and lending a hand instead of an attack, we create a web of divine strength that can’t be broken.
This is the awakening that calls to us now to stand tall, shoulder to shoulder, knowing that we’re part of a sacred revolution. I’ve walked through my own shadows, choosing to walk away from trauma bonds and the false sense of duty that kept me silent or fighting within a system designed to keep women divided. I’ve learned that true sisterhood isn’t about trying to fix each other or prove ourselves better. It’s about creating safe emotional space, being honest, and honoring our shared divine spark.
Supporting Women: Giving Credit & Building Trust
Every time we lift a sister, or even simply hold space for her-no matter her journey or her wounds, we are rewriting the story of the feminine. That’s where the power of Eris comes in, the goddess who exposes chaos not to destroy but to clear the way for new growth. Her and the movements she inspires astralogically, urge us to see what’s been hidden, the unspoken fears, the jealousy, the wounds of patriarchy buried beneath layers of shame, and to choose love and unity in spite of it all.
We are not perfect. We are beautiful messes, divine in our imperfection, constantly evolving, constantly healing. There is no shame in our shadows or in our struggles; there is only liberation when we call them out, own them, and choose to grow beyond them. When we embrace our fears and insecurities, they no longer hold power over us, they become a part of our sacred evolution.
And I want you to know, your love for your sisters is a force more powerful than any patriarchal system or societal shame. The love that flows from your heart, the support you offer when you see another woman’s light, these are the seeds of a new world. A world where we celebrate our differences, honor our healing journeys, and lift one another higher. Because sisterhood, truly practiced, is the greatest act of rebellion and resistance against the old ways of division and suppression.
Reclaiming Power through Authentic Sisterhood
The truth that many of us are waking up to is this: healing the feminine wound begins within, but it doesn’t end there. It ripples outward into our communities, into our relationships, into the very fabric of our collective consciousness. We can no longer afford to play small or hide behind masks of perfection. It’s time to be real. It’s time to accept our shadows and show up fiercely for each other with love, honesty, and humility.
The path ahead is not about seeking approval or validation from the outside world. It’s about reconnecting with that sacred, unbreakable core within, a place of divine power, patience, and grace. When we do that, we stop needing to compete. We step into the fullness of our purpose, blending our divine masculine and feminine energies, walking in balance and strength.
So, I ask you: are you willing to stand in your truth and support your sisters, even when it’s uncomfortable? Are you ready to acknowledge your shadows and help others do the same? Because the healing of this wound, the real healing, happens when we acknowledge that we are all struggling, all fighting to be free, and that there’s enough love and light for everyone.
It’s time for a new story. One where women are celebrated for their unique gifts, where vulnerability is revered, and where the collective power of sisterhood becomes unstoppable. When we come together, truly support, uplift, and embrace one another, we ignite a divine revolution. And in that revolution, we restore the sacred balance of the divine feminine and masculine within ourselves and across the world.
We heal, we rise, and we remember: the power to change everything lies in our hearts. Together, shining as one radiant, unstoppable sisterhood, that’s where the true magick begins.
