Heal the Witch Wound

Reclaim Your Magic and Step Into Your Power

By: Celeste Larsen

Narrated by: Leslie Howard

A practical guide for modern witches and healers with rituals, journal prompts, visualization exercises, and other tools.

The witch wound is a collective, intergenerational, psychic wound that has scarred people, mostly women, for centuries. The roots of this wound run deep, going back to the historical witch hunts, the Burning Times, when tens of thousands of innocent individuals were accused of practicing malicious magic and executed in the most inhumane ways. Extending perniciously beyond the accusations and murders was general persecution and marginalization of people who were suspected of having certain powers. The fear created by this oppression was passed down from generation to generation, becoming embedded not just in individual bodies and psyches, but in the collective unconscious.

Today, though not true everywhere, witchcraft is often embraced as a tool for self-empowerment and healing; yet the scars of the Burning Times remain. Many would-be witches turn away from the craft out of fear that they will be judged, shamed, mocked, vilified, or rejected by the people around them. This same sense of fear and shame causes many practicing witches and earth-based spiritualists to keep their beliefs hidden safely in the broom closet. This is the witch wound at work.

In Heal the Witch Wound, author Celeste Larsen, a pagan, witch, and ritualist, guides modern witches (as well as pagans, energy workers, occultists, and other spiritual individuals) on the path of healing the witch wound. It unfolds in three parts.

Part I journeys back into the Burning Times. This section demystifies this dark era in history by providing a well-researched overview of the European witch trials. It also includes a compelling analysis of the key factors that contributed to the witch craze: patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism, and religious tyranny.

Part II is rooted in the present and explores the most common signs and symptoms of the witch wound: fear of speaking up and being seen, hiding spiritual gifts, feeling disconnected from the divine, past-life memories, and more. The author shares personal stories of her own experiences with these symptoms and teaches listeners how to identify the witch wound in themselves.

Part III branches into the bright and brilliant future, offering an abundance of practices, both magical and mundane, to help listeners heal the witch wound.

This explains EVERYTHING!

Such an amazingly healing book! I love all of the content. Im obsessed with the deep dive into The Witch Wound! It makes soooooo much sense.
I’m not in love with the narration is a little bit something… not sure what?. The voice of the narrator is great, but the dynamics feel like a children’s book.

Beautiful Book & Read

I am a podcast host and my next episode will be about healing the witch wound. I have been healing my with wound for many years now. I finally have stepped into my power and stopped allowing others take control of my life and who I am truly am. I have been following Celeste Larsen on social media for a while now and I love her work. Celeste wrote a beautiful book with so much wisdom to help anyone along their journey of healing their witch wound. Leslie the narrator for the Audible book did an amazing job. She was so easy to follow.

Fantastic

What a calming voice and easy to follow guide. Appreciate the content and the flow.

healing the burning times

I love how they steped out and showed the truth of the past, and how they have healed and steped out of the broom closet

I’ve been waiting for this book my whole life!!!!

This came at the perfect time in my life and is absolutely life changing. If it’s for you, you will know😉. Excellent information and I am so grateful for this new discovery and addition to my audible library!

the witch trails

The witch trials were the most horrific I enjoyed the book Will recommend this book

Wonderful guide to healing!

I loved the 3-section break down of historical background, how the wound presents in us, and healing the witch wound.

Great insight

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The narration was calm and easy to listen to. This is an excellent example of how society has changed and distorted women, especially healers and "witches". I will be recommending this book to everyone I know.

Absolutely obsessed

I can’t describe how much I LOVED this book. It was so informative, and the rituals she shares are so approachable and easy to implement.

A balm for the aching natue-loving soul

This is an excellent listen for any magical practioner concerned about shining thier truth, or who second guesses themselves.
Anyone who has hid their magic as a reflex would benefit from listening. It may be helpful for friends and family to listen if you can't find the words to help them understand and accept you. Of course the point is accept yourself, however, when we live surrounded by a culture who would deny your right to existence, or demonize you, it does take a toll.

The narrator is soft, clear and gentle, but not mushy. She delivers it just right- sounds like that compassionate, understanding friend we all wish for at times.

The book will not tell you that you need to parade around Salem in garb and jewelry (but if you want to - go for it), it will remind you what you already know, provide context which can be empowering and encourage you to love yourself and be you with no apology. It can help you strenthen yourself and perhaps understand why you feel inhibitions. That understanding can help you release fears and blocks which, in turn, can support you stepping into your own power. And we need empowered magical folk to stand in their power together these days don't we?
I look forward to finding more of this authors' work.

Regarding those "antiwoke" reviewers, you just revealed more about your wound than provided value with your snarks.
