If you’ve ever felt afraid to share your spiritual gifts or beliefs, like some part of you is still hiding, you may be carrying the witch wound. In this blog post, I’ll share 10 powerful crystals that can help you release fear, heal old trauma and reclaim your power.
WHAT IS THE WITCH WOUND?
The ‘witch wound ‘can mean different things to different people. Some see it like a kind of collective trauma or emotional wound that people, especially women may carry from historical persecutions, like the witch hunts of the past.
A more spiritual perspective is that the witch wound can originate from a past life, where you suffered during the witch trials or this could be ancestral. Something that happened to your ancestor and this fear is carried down the family line.
PLEASE NOTE: This blog post in based on a video I made on YouTube. If you prefer to learn through video and or audio, you can watch my video instead:
The witch wound could manifest within you as a fear of being judged, ostracized, or persecuted for your knowledge, abilities, or spiritual practices. This can create an energy block or limiting belief that stops you accessing your natural psychic abilities, inner wisdom or personal power.
CRYSTALS TO HEAL THE WITCH WOUND
I think it was back in the 2000’s, before I even heard of the term ‘witch wound‘, I was meditating with a crystal and it told me that it can help people clear the past life trauma of anyone who was condemned for witchcraft. I will tell you what this stone is and more on how it works a little later.
Crystals can be powerful allies for emotional and energetic healing. The ones I’m about to share are each connected to a specific fear or block linked to the witch wound, so you can discover which crystals resonate most with your healing journey.
1. A CRYSTAL FOR THE FEAR OF PERSECUTION
If you have the witch wound, you might subconsciously fear being judged, attacked, or ostracized for your spiritual beliefs or intuitive gifts. And yes, this may be replaying in this life too.
One crystal that can really support you in releasing this fear is Tiger’s Eye. This stone can instill courage within you. It helps you face fears and feel confident enough to take steps to overcome them. Tiger’s Eye is a stone of empowerment and helps with dealing with oppressive people or bullies. It gives you inner strength.
I don’t believe you have this fear for no reason. Your life lesson is to learn to become more fearless. This crystal supports you in feeling more comfortable in your own identity. It encourages self expression and being more at ease with visibility. It’s also protective, shielding you from anyone that does not wish you well.
2. A CRYSTAL FOR RECLAIMING INTUITION
The witch wound can make people afraid to trust their inner guidance, psychic senses, or spiritual gifts. This can cause fear and anxiety around your gifts or an energetic block that stops you accessing your full awareness.
For this block, I recommend working with Aqua Aura. This is usually created from clear quartz that is alchemically bonded with a thin layer that uses precious metals, including gold. Aqua Aura helps release fears around your psychic senses and intuition. Especially if you have experienced a negative reaction by friends, family or religious people with fear-based conditioning about psychic abilities.
Aqua aura helps open you up to receiving spiritual information. This was the crystal that showed me it can clear traumatic energy from past lives during the witch trials. Its water element energy cools fire. This crystal clears these karmic blocks that create a limiting belief that says “last time I used these abilities, I was punished”.
3. A CRYSTAL FOR SAFETY & GROUNDING
This emotional wound often triggers a fight-or-flight response; healing and spiritual growth begins with feeling safe in your body and your environment. When you are not grounded, it can play havoc with your manifestation work too…
Theres a few different stones you could work with but I kept seeing Red Jasper in my mind when I put this together. Not feeling safe and a fight or flight response often shows that there is an imbalance in your Root Chakra. Red Jasper is perfect for this because it balances and stabalises this energy centre.
This stone will help you really drop into your body, it grounds you so you have stronger roots and less fear. Red Jasper gives you a greater sense of security while helping you develop determination to keep going. It should help you know the difference between your trusted instincts vs the ego’s fears.
4. A CRYSTAL FOR HEALING PAST LIFE TRAUMA
Many who resonate with this wound, feel echoes of persecution from past lives, this could manifest as anxiety, resistance to spiritual practices, anger at religious groups or authority figures or spiritual blocks.
The crystal that came through for this was Amethyst. Amethyst helps clear negative energy from your past, including past life trauma. This crystal transmutes and transforms this energy into a higher state. It can help you learn any soul lessons, rather than repeating a karmic cycle in each lifetime. Which could have happened to you.
Amethyst brings clarity and also opens your spiritual connection even more. Fears around divine judgement or punishment can be wiped from your Crown Chakra. Healing this soul wound allows you to get a clear connection to your higher self or spirit. Something that can become blocked with the witch wound through religious persecution.
5. A CRYSTAL FOR RELEASING SHAME & SELF-SUPPRESSION
Those with this wound can hide their interests or “dim their light” due to deep-seated shame or fear of standing out. With this type of block I think you might want to work with Sunstone.
This crystal is like the perfect antidote to that feeling of shrinking or hiding from the world. It increases your light and charges up your aura with positive energy. This clears all your chakras of that conditioning or limiting patterns around self-expression.
Sunstone brings you out of your shell. It will help you become more comfortable with being yourself, being seen and step into your natural radiance that others or society may have suppressed or stifled. You can’t help people or become very successful if you are not visible. It’s also helpful for creative expression too.
6. A CRYSTAL FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING & COMFORT
This type of trauma can leave people with feelings of sadness, hurt and isolation; emotional healing and soothing is something you owe yourself.
One crystal that can really support you in the personal and emotional healing process is Rose Quartz. This crystal will work on your heart and Heart Chakra, where these hurt feelings tend to linger. It also supports having compassion for yourself or others.
Rose Quartz is a master nurturer, this motherly crystal will comfort you and gently support the healing process. This crystal is a heart-healer and leads you towards self-love and prioritising self-care. Rose Quartz is a go-to crystal for its soothing, calming energy. It relieves stress and worry, calming the nervous system too.
7. A CRYSTAL FOR PROTECTION FROM NEGATIVE ENERGY
You might be someone that feels energetically sensitive or vulnerable to others’ opinions or people sending you hateful energy or bad vibes.
Although you can use any form of Black Obsidian, I find Rainbow Obsidian to be a little less intense. Rainbow Obsidian is a good protection stone because it helps shield all your chakras. Keep it close to clear your aura of anything that shouldn’t be there.
It’s ideal for empaths and sensitive people. The whole obsidian family always helps set stronger boundaries. Rainbow Obsidian will absorb negative energy, transmuting it into a higher state. It stops people attaching etheric cords to you that can drain or manipulate you.
8. A CRYSTAL TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL POWER
The witch wound can block people from confidently doing energy work, divination, spiritual rituals or practicing magic.
Working with something like Lapis Lazuli could really help with this. This stone will also help work on releasing blocks from past life persecution for your beliefs or practices. Especially where the divine feminine was concerned. Lapis Lazuli supports you in reconnecting with your spiritual power and wisdom.
This crystal can even awaken the knowledge gained from past lives as a priestess, including initiations you received. It helps you develop and tap into your intuition, spiritual abilities and receive spiritual downloads and divine inspiration.
9. A CRYSTAL FOR SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH
Fear of judgment often leads to silence or hiding. Expressing your truth or activating the throat chakra helps you reclaim your voice.
A crystal that can clear this block and release fear about expressing your perspective is Aquamarine. This crystal clears energetic blocks around the throat chakra, allowing you to communicate more clearly and speak your truth when you need to.
As well as finding your voice, Aquamarine is a stone of courage and inner strength. This is what gives you the calm confidence to be heard. It actively improves your communication skills. Aquamarine is also a crystal of authenticity.
10. A CRYSTAL FOR REBUILDING TRUST IN COMMUNITY
The witch wound often comes with isolation or mistrust of groups, stemming from betrayal or public persecution in the past.
The good news is, you don’t have to carry this fear forever. A crystal formation I love for dissolving this block is a Cluster. A clear Quartz cluster is perfect but you could also work with Amethyst, Smoky or White Quartz too. Not an easy one for carrying or wearing. So, place it somewhere visible in your home, the main entrance or on an altar.
Crystal clusters help you see the benefit of community and connecting with like-mined souls. Rather than fearing betrayal, it fosters friendship and healthy social bonds. This could involve finding a spiritual group, coven or online community for support.
