Make no mistake, it was women like you, like me, who burned on those pyres for their ‘witchcraft’.
Women who listened to their instincts, who connected with other souls on unseen levels.
Women who healed, who loved fiercely and who saw what some eyes couldn’t.
Women who shone too brightly for those in fear of their ‘powers’.
You my friend, should carry that light brightly now, in honour of those who were put out.
We are free, and we are more powerful than ever.
And anyone who fears that, will show their true colours, in the dazzling light of our own.
Yes, we carry that witch wound with us.
But we shine harder for it.
