This week’s question comes from instagram:

Dear Dana,

What does it mean to be a witch?

I love this question, and it came at a perfect time. Just last week, someone left a comment on the Spotify broadcast of this show, saying something like, “Good content, but use something better than Witch.” 😒

And to that, I say, Nope. I’m keeping it. I love the word Witch. It feels so specific, and for me, it’s deeply tied to how I show up in the world.

So today, I’m going to share my personal take on what it means to be a Witch. I’ll talk about how I embody the Witch archetype and what that looks like in my life. And I’ll explain why the word Witch means so much to me—and why it might resonate with you too.

Final Thoughts:I hope this episode helps you see that being a Witch is about embracing your power and agency—you get to choose your life, your desires, and your path. It’s a journey of self-reclamation, and witchcraft is such a powerful tool to help you get there.
