The other day, I wrote a post on my homeopathy website about what I often call “the Witch Wound.” It’s a subtle, haunting trauma that some women carry — often from past lives — where they served as healers and were punished for it. I feel this wound resonates in the body, the psyche, and even the spaces we inhabit.
In my work, I’ve met women who have an inexplicable fear of fire, who startle at the faintest whiff of smoke — even though they’ve never experienced fire in this life. Others tremble at the thought of drowning or carry unexplained neck pain, as if their bodies remember stories their conscious minds have forgotten.
Some women also have a sense of invisibility or being “out of place” in the world. They may feel overlooked, misunderstood, or not fully seen — despite their kindness, warmth, or talents. This wound is subtle, yet it influences relationships, work, and even how we interact with our homes.
The Witch Wound in Space
When it comes to Feng Shui, I often notice signs of this wound in the home — and I admit, I’ve been guilty of them myself in my earlier years:
No nameplate on the front door — a quiet signal that one is invisible.
Weak Wood and Fire elements — the very Yang energies that support outward flow, recognition, and success.
Clutter or “Yin Sha” (stagnant energy) — particularly in the East, South-East, and South sectors, which represent growth, wealth, and vitality.
These signs in the home mirror the inner state: fear of being seen, fear of failure, or fear of drawing attention. Healing the Witch Wound often involves gently restoring these energies — in the body, the mind, and the spaces we inhabit.

Healing the Witch Wound
Healing this wound requires subtle, patient work. In my homeopathy practice, I support women in reconnecting with their strength and joy, often with remedies that resonate with their individual story. In the physical space, small Feng Shui adjustments — adding a nameplate, enhancing Wood and Fire elements, or clearing clutter — can make a profound difference.
The Witch Wound is not about blame or shame. It’s about recognizing the quiet story our bodies, hearts, and homes carry, and helping it shift into light and life.
Bringing it All Together
This wound is part of the ancestral and karmic tapestry we carry, yet it does not define us. By honoring it, seeing it, and working with it — both internally and externally — women can reclaim visibility, vitality, and joy.
I’ll be sharing more about this on my new website, where I’ll explore homeopathy, Feng Shui, and other healing practices for women navigating their inner and outer spaces. It still needs a bit of tweaking, so stay tuned! :)
With Love,
