** Correction: an estimated 9 million total were killed during the Burning Times/Witch Trials which is what I was referring to as greater than the loss of the Holocaust. The 50,000 referenced were in a specific period in Europe (Oops, I'm human) **
When you hear the word "witch," what comes to mind? An evil, ugly hag? A deal with the devil? For centuries, this has been the most successful propaganda campaign in history, and it's time to burn it to the ground.
In this deeply personal and historically rich episode, Dr. Jenny dives into a topic she's been avoiding: the real story of witches. This isn't about spooky Halloween tales; it's about the mass genocide of healers, midwives, and powerful women whose wisdom threatened the patriarchy. She unpacks the dark history of the witch trials and reveals the collective, inherited trauma it created: The Witch Wound. This wound manifests as the fear of speaking your truth, the terror of being "too much," the suppression of your intuitive gifts, and the distrust of other women.
If you've ever felt unsafe in your power, this episode will not only validate that fear but also show you why reclaiming the witch within is the ultimate act of liberation.
