Healing the Witch Wound: Why Your Soul Feels It — and How to Rise Beyond It

By TJ Higgs Spiritual Medium

Dear Awakened Souls,

There is a deep ache many sensitive, intuitive and spiritually-aware people carry without realising it. It’s not a physical ache… it’s a soul-memory. A tremor of fear that whispers “Don’t be too much. Don’t be too loud. Don’t be too magical.”

This is what we call the Witch Wound.

It is not about witches in folklore.

It is about the suppression of intuition, healing, spiritual knowledge, and feminine wisdom across centuries — echoing through generations and lifetimes.

It’s not your imagination.

It’s not weakness.

It’s an energy wound created when spiritually-gifted people were silenced, shamed, persecuted, or forced into hiding.

And today?

It shows up in the most modern, subtle ways — even for those of us who have walked this path for decades.

What Is the Witch Wound?

The Witch Wound is the inherited fear of being seen in your spiritual power.

It’s a soul-level memory of times (in this life or others) when your abilities were dangerous to express.

This wound can sit quietly inside even the most confident, capable people. It rises when you take a leap, when your intuitive abilities expand, or when spirit asks you to step into a bigger version of yourself.

It sounds like:

• “Who am I to do this?”

• “People will judge me.”

• “I don’t want to be the odd one out.”

• “I know I’m gifted, but it feels safer to stay small.”

That is not your truth.

That is the echo of an old wound.

How the Witch Wound Appears in Everyday Life

You may feel the Witch Wound if:

✨ You doubt your intuition, even when spirit is crystal clear

✨ You hide your spiritual abilities around certain people

✨ You shrink yourself so others feel comfortable

✨ You fear ridicule, rejection, or being misunderstood

✨ You apologise for being psychic, intuitive, or spiritually gifted

✨ You feel unsafe being truly seen

And here’s something many don’t realise:

Even if you’ve been a professional medium for 25 years (as I have), these old layers can still rise during periods of growth, awakening, or deep healing.

Because the Witch Wound is not a flaw — it is an invitation.

Why You Feel It So Strongly Now

2025 has been a huge energetic year. With the rare retrogrades, emotional clear-outs, and collective resets we’ve all lived through, spirit has been pushing many of us into our next level.

Expansion always brings the wound to the surface.

Not to punish you — but to free you.

When you grow, old fears lift because your soul is breaking old contracts.

You’re not returning to the past… you’re healing it.

The Witch Wound is simply saying:

“You are stepping into territory your ancestors could not.

You are the one who gets to end the cycle.”

And that is powerful beyond words.

How to Begin Healing the Witch Wound

1. Acknowledge It — Without Shame

There is nothing wrong with being cautious or guarded. It is a protective instinct.

But you are not in danger anymore.

You are safe.

You are held.

And you are guided.

2. Speak Your Soul Truth

Say what you feel.

Share your intuition.

Allow your mediumship, clairvoyance, and energy gifts to be seen.

Every time you voice truth, the wound loosens.

3. Surround Yourself With Soul-Aligned People

Your energy deserves people who celebrate your gifts, not tolerate them.

Let your circle be a place where intuition is respected, not questioned.

4. Work With Spirit Intentionally

Your guides, angels, and loved ones in spirit will support you every step.

Call them in.

Invite their protection.

Let them help you rewrite this old soul story.

5. Reclaim Your Power

The Witch Wound wants you to believe you should dim your light.

Your soul knows the opposite is true.

You came here to shine.

You came here to rise.

You came here to help others awaken.

You Are the Healer of Your Lineage

Every time you choose courage over fear, you heal not just yourself — but all those who came before you, and all those who will come after.

You are the first in your lineage who is truly free to explore, express, and embody your spiritual gifts without persecution.

You are breaking the cycle.

You are rewriting the story.

You are becoming the healed ancestor.

And spirit walks with you every step of the way.

A Gentle Closing Message

Let these words wrap around your heart like the soft shimmer of rose-gold dragonfly wings:

✨ I am safe to be seen.

✨ My gifts are sacred.

✨ I honour the wisdom of my soul.

✨ I rise for myself, my lineage, and the light I am here to bring.

Your power is ancient.

Your path is protected.

And the world needs the very magic you once feared to share.

When you are ready, you’ll rise higher than you ever imagined — and spirit will meet you there.
