The more courage and vulnerability we have on this journey, the deeper we can embody the Witchy fullness of our Souls ~ Nicole Barton

I’ve been sitting in a women’s circle myself for the last few months, with some magical, powerful women - all coaches need their own space for expansion, and so my own deepening was into the Feminine, which I had experienced some resistance to (much like I explored the resistance many of my own women have to the word ‘Witch’ in my last blog). Where there’s resistance, there’s also usually gold - which is really what we are here exploring this this blog post today, as it’s all about embracing the darkness.

“I'm deeply called to your work, but I'm just not sure if I'm a Witch, I feel so much resistance to the Witch!" ~ Secret Witches

Mmm, this *exact* resistance is one that comes up frequently for women who are beginning to take the tender first steps into the path I share;

“For me, magick is love. Whenever you bring in Divine light to manifest one thing or the other in the world, what you’re actually doing is pulling in love. ~ Damien Echols

I adore this because it points to the critical interweaving of spirit and soul that I share along the journey to liberating your Wild Witch - when we co-create magic, we are ultimately calling in Divine love through our human Soul. Ultimately, that’s what magic really is; a manifestation of *love* itself. Wow……..

“A true ‘wild witch’ is an almighty powerful creatrix, capable of manifesting a magical life and serving greater good.”

~ Nicole Barton

I wrote this feature for Soul & Spirit magazine’s October issue, to call Secret Witches into awareness of their own almighty power.

“Witch wound: a deep-seated fear of being your fullest expression of self in case you are burned at the stake.” ~ Nicole Barton

Mmm, we are releasing this blog on the run up to Full Moon so, given September’s Secret Witch Circle Facebook Group theme of ‘Rewilding’, it feels like a great time to offer some support around how getting out in the wild can offer you deep healing for your witch wound…….

“Your power only feels absent because it has been felt so deeply in every fibre of your being - and it’s still there.” ~ Nicole Barton

This month, in August, our theme in the Secret Witch Circle Facebook group is all about opening to your power - and it has occurred to me that usually, it is often a surprise to many of the women I work with how almightily powerful they really are…

“Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation.” ~ Starhawk

Ritual is a sacred part of the route from Secret Witch to Liberated Witch. It’s crucial to the journey of reclaiming your Wild Witch - and that’s because ritual offers us the possibility to transform.

“Without our bodies, our Souls would not have anywhere to dance...” ~ Nicole Barton

I've been in some of the most powerful work of my life recently - the work of reclaiming parts of me that I had pushed into the darkness – and that uncovering has shed much light (and darkness!) on my work and how I support others in liberating themselves.
