Instead, it’s about being a woman who can recognize, navigate, claim, trust and use her Goddess-given powers of creativity and manifestation, her vision, her intuition and foresight, her rhythms and cyclic nature and her ability to experience FULLY the dark to serve the light.

A witch is an unapologetic woman. She alchemizes experiences and emotions. She’s a woman with power, agency and sovereignty… and she has it on HER terms. She creates and manifests. She is self-sourced. She freely communes with Nature/Spirit/God/dess/choose-your-own-semantics without needing a go-between. Being a witch is being a woman in her power. It’s being someone who trusts her inner authority, and doesn’t look outside herself for validation and/or approval. It’s being someone who uses her own personal magic to navigate and negotiate the environment she currently finds herself in.
