Heal the Witch Wound by Celeste LarsenUpon reading the first section of this book, I found it to be quite a challenge. The author goes into great detail about the origins of the Salem witch trials, which I don't recall having learned about before. It was fascinating to learn about how the trials began, where they took place, and the consequences that followed. It was difficult for me to digest, especially when I was learning about where the trials originated from. It got me thinking about my ancestry, and I couldn't help but wonder where my family stood in history. The author provides intricate details on the people involved in the trials, their beliefs, and the social and political climate of that time. I was able to picture the events as they unfolded, and it gave me a better understanding of the trials. In the second part of this book, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of my own personal "witch wounds." Before reading this book, I was completely unaware of the existence of witch wounds, and I never would have thought to link certain experiences or feelings to this concept. However, as I read through the author's explanations and examples, I began to realize that many of the challenges I've faced in my life could be attributed to these wounds. Some of the witch wounds that I identified in myself include feelings of self-doubt, a reluctance to express myself fully, and a tendency to put others' needs before my own. What was particularly powerful about this section of the book was how the author explained that these wounds are not unique to me, but in fact, they are shared by many people who have experienced trauma or persecution related to their spiritual beliefs or practices. In the third part of the book, the author provides practical advice on how to begin healing these wounds. One of the techniques that resonated with me was the idea of using a salt scrub with intention. This is a simple and accessible practice that can help to clear negative energy and promote healing in the body. I also found the author's suggestions for grounding and setting boundaries to be helpful and inspiring. Overall, this book has been a precious resource for me. Not only has it helped me to better understand the history and impact of the Salem witch trials, but it has also given me a new framework for understanding my own struggles and a set of tools for self-healing. I'm grateful to have this book as a reference as I continue my healing journey. General Rating: 5/5 Value Rating: 5/5

It's truly inspiring to be able to embark on a journey of connecting with my ancestors and working to heal my lineage. The book has provided valuable insights into the layers of lineage and the impact of our ancestors on our lives today. It's amazing to think that the work I am doing will create healthy and bright ancestors and can have a positive impact on everybody in my family lineage, including those not yet born. The rituals and meditations provided in the book offer a great starting point for this important work. I can't wait to share my progress as I work through them and continue to leave a legacy for my descendants. General Rating: 5/5 Value Rating: 5/5
hooked within the first few pages, just like me!
As I started the book, I knew it was going to change how I viewed my life and my health. The author’s premise of this book is that “biography creates biology”, meaning that our response to the things that happen to us throughout our life could affect our health. The seven stages are based around the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life. At the end of each stage, she asks thought provoking questions for self-examination. At the end of the book, she includes a daily meditation for each stage. These meditations are supposed to help you evaluate your health. General Rating: 5/5 Value Rating: 10/5 (I cannot recommend this book enough!) |
AuthorI have noticed that every time I start reading a book, I can find some parts of myself in it. This makes me wonder how it is possible to connect so deeply with the author and the topic. However, I have learned to trust the books that come into my life. This blog is about the books I have read and the adventures they take me on. I will be rating each book on two scales: a general rating and a rating on how each book has added value to my life. Current Reading List:Archives
