Centuries ago, women were burned at the stake for their spiritual beliefs, interests and gifts. Today, they’re burned in the comments section. Ask me how I know lol
The platforms may have changed, but the energy behind it – fear and misunderstanding – hasn’t disappeared. The Witch Wound has simply evolved into a new landscape: the digital world.
In the 1600s, women were accused of witchcraft for being too outspoken, too different, or too powerful. They were punished for their healing abilities, their sexuality, and their connection to the unseen. Now, women who talk about energy, intuition, or spirituality face a similar form of modern persecution – online shaming, ridicule, and cancellation. The torches have become tweets, the trials have become threads, and public opinion still decides who gets to be “good” and who’s deemed “dangerous.”
This is the modern witch trial: the fear of saying or showing something authentic because of what others might think. It’s the anxiety before hitting “post.” It’s the inner voice that whispers, “Don’t talk about that – you’ll lose followers, friends, or respect.” It’s the digital echo of centuries of silencing. The Witch Wound lives in the algorithms now, teaching women that they can express themselves – but only if it’s palatable enough not to provoke judgment.
Social media has become a paradox for spiritual and witchy women. On one hand, it offers unprecedented freedom to share wisdom, create communities, and reclaim ancient practices. On the other, it amplifies fear of rejection. The same platforms that connect us also expose us to misunderstanding and criticism from those still conditioned to fear what they don’t understand. The subconscious still remembers: visibility equals danger. Every hateful comment or mocking message can re-trigger ancestral memory – the collective body remembering what it felt like to be condemned for speaking truth.
But here’s the truth: the fear of the digital mob is a sign that your visibility is stretching beyond the old limits. You’re awakening collective discomfort – not because you’re wrong, but because you’re shaking the very structures that built the original witch trials: fear, hierarchy, and control. The Witch Wound thrives in silence, so every time a woman speaks her truth online – about magic, intuition, body autonomy, or empowerment – she chips away at that collective spell of suppression.
Healing the modern Witch Wound online means reclaiming your digital voice as sacred. It means sharing from grounded confidence, not defensive energy. It means unfollowing the need to be understood by everyone. It’s choosing alignment over approval. True healing is when you can say, “Some will misunderstand me – and I am still safe.”
As a spiritual creator, your content isn’t just posts – it’s energy. Every word, photo, or video is a micro-ritual of remembrance. Each time you show up as your full self, you model safety for others still hiding in the shadows of judgment. The more authentic voices rise, the weaker the old spell becomes.
We are no longer being burned… but we are being tested. The test is whether we’ll censor ourselves before anyone else gets the chance to. The modern witch trials don’t end through silence; they end when more of us refuse to dim our light. The digital era has given witches a platform, and it’s time to use it for power, truth, and connection.
You can’t control the crowd. But you can control your energy and how you respond. And when your energy is rooted in love and truth, no algorithm or opinion can extinguish it. The modern witch doesn’t need to hide. She simply needs to remember that her words are sacred, her voice is power, and her light was never meant to fit inside the safety of the shadows.
