Science now proves trauma can be inherited - so your shadow work just got generational.

🧠 Bone Deep:

You know that unexplained dread you get near deep water?
That random, bone-deep anxiety around loud noises, burning smells, tight spaces?

Turns out…
It might be your great-great-great grandmother’s panic living in your nervous system.

Because trauma doesn’t just leave emotional scars.
It leaves chemical post-it notes on your genes.

⚗️ What the Science Says:

• Researchers in epigenetics (the study of changes in gene expression) discovered that traumatic experiences can alter how genes are switched on or off.

• These changes can be passed down - meaning what happened to your ancestors can influence your stress response, mental health, fears, and behaviours today.

• Studies on Holocaust survivors, famine victims, and PTSD sufferers show this transgenerational trauma link is real.

🩸 Trauma literally gets encoded.
Your body remembers things your mind never lived through.

🌒 Witch Perspective?

Ancestral trauma?
Yeah. That’s what witches have been cleansing, hexing, and healing for centuries.

• That fear of drowning? 🐚
  Maybe an ancestor was lost at sea.

• That sudden rage? 🩸
  Could be inherited from women who were silenced, hunted, burned.

• That “heavy” energy in your bloodline? 🕯️
  It’s not just a vibe - it’s a residue.

And what do we do with residue, babe?
We burn it clean.

🕯️ Witch Tip:

Your bloodline remembers. So do your spells.

If you feel like you’re carrying more than your own pain?

• Light the Forgive Candle to heal what you never got to understand

• Burn the Confront Candle when it’s time to face the patterns passed down

• Use the Create Candle to break the chain and build something new

And don’t forget to thank your ancestors - even the messy ones.
Because you’re their wildest redemption spell.

🖤 Moral of the story?

Healing yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s a time-traveling act of rebellion.
You’re unbinding the wounds they were too scared to name.

You are the closure your bloodline never got.
