Every woman is a bit of a witch
06 October 2020
Who's the "witch"?
She who has power over the physical world and who uses arts defined
as obscure but actually linked to sixth sense and intuition to read
the world. She who "hears and sees" first. I made a fur
coat with cat ears in homage to women, who are "witches".
But not as they have always been told and misunderstood in fairy
tales, where the witch is the incarnation of evil! The witch is the
connection to the magic, which is in all things, just knowing how to
see it. I remember when my grandmother used to cure me with herbs
when I was little. I used to look at her spellbound, and she seemed
to have very special powers. And when she gave me the fur when I was
five, as is tradition in Eastern European countries, I perceived it
as a breastplate, something capable of protecting me, like an amulet. As the author of
Women running with wolves says, women's intuition has claws that open
every breastplate, eyes capable of seeing beyond every mask and ears
to hear beyond chatter: it is with these tools that the woman assumes
an acute and even precognitive animal awareness, which deepens her
femininity and her ability to move with confidence in the world.
After all, we women have the most developed right hemisphere of the
brain. Which is then the part related to intuition, clairvoyance,
telepathy, empathy, creativity, reactivity, acceptance and
dedication. In addition, the alpha
frequency (through which we attract positive things) and the state of
inner calm are created in the right hemisphere. How
can we be surprised if women show that once demonized faculty? (but I
wouldn't say we are still out of it!).
Think of the Amazons, of the Sirens, of how many myths have embodied
the fear of the feminine who intuits, who sees far away, who
foretells and is hardly limited by logic. It is much easier to quell
the female instinct by harnessing it in a masculine, analytical world
based on quantitative data rather than intuition. So,
dear witches... let's take back our power!
