In the Name of the Witch - by Renée Starr (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Never before in history have women been able to stand up and stand out so publicly to express their spirituality, magic, and power with such openness, courage, and strength. Today, many women are reclaiming the word witch-- speaking openly on social media, podcasts, in books, and in communities around the world. But it was not always this way. Between the 1400s and 1700s, a dark period known as The Burning Times swept across Europe and parts of the world. During this era, countless women were accused of witchcraft, imprisoned, tortured, drowned, hanged, or burned. Their knowledge, independence, and spiritual practices were feared and violently suppressed. From the shadow of this history comes what many women still carry today-- a collective trauma often called the Witch Wound. In In the Name of the Witch, author and mystic René e Starr explores how this historical wound continues to shape women's voices, visibility, and spiritual expression in the modern world. Many women still feel the echoes of fear-- fear of speaking out, of being seen, of claiming their intuitive power and truth. Now is the time to heal. With wisdom, ritual, and deep reverence for the natural world, René e Starr
