The Witch's Wound

From Persecution to Power: A Traditional Witch's Guide to Healing and Reclaiming the Craft

The Witch’s Wound: From Persecution to Power is a clear, grounded guide to healing the inherited harms around witchcraft—and reclaiming your craft with steadiness and sovereignty. Blending history with hands-on practice, S. L. Clement traces how suspicion became a system, then shows you how to unbind, mend, and rebuild your power without burnout or bravado. This is not about perfection or daily spellwork; it’s about right-sized work, right-sized visibility, and fair exchange—so your magic becomes consistent, ethical, and yours.

Inside you’ll find:

• A story-driven history of the wound and how it still echoes today

• Rituals for gentle unbinding, ancestral/collective healing, and reclaiming power

• Practical tools (daily check-ins, ritual logs, boundary and energy pages, aftercare)

• “Sovereignty cues” to keep you aligned between formal rites

• Lunar and seasonal guidance that follows the land where you live

Written for traditional witches and folk practitioner, this book helps you carry the lessons of the past as strength—not chains. Begin where you are. Do less, mean more, and last longer.
