Winter has a way of making us shrink. You dim your light, edit your words, make yourself smaller so you're easier to swallow.

But what if that heaviness you're feeling? That's not truth. That's the witch wound, quietly running the show.

In this first episode of 2026, we're talking about how the witch wound shows up when everything feels gray and heavy. Why visibility feels scary. Why being "too much" feels dangerous. And how tarot (yes, tarot) can help you see what you've been hiding from yourself.

I'm walking you through six tarot cards that speak directly to the witch wound - the High Priestess, the Empress, Strength, the Tower, the Moon, and the Star. Plus, I'm giving you a full tarot spread you can use right now, even if you've never pulled a card in your life. Use it as journal prompts or to get honest with yourself.

This isn't about healing the witch wound once and moving on. It's cyclical, like everything we do.

You tend to it, you come back to it and you keep mending.

And honestly? Doing it in community makes all the difference.

If you've been feeling stuck, muted, or afraid to say what you really want this year, this episode is for you.
