About this listen

A provocative call for women to awaken to their innate connection to the magic that gives life its depth, meaning, and transcendence—from the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety

Witch: /wiCH/ noun: Any woman who has reclaimed the intuitive, mystical, and embodied ways of knowing that our culture tries to shame and suppress

We are caught in a crisis of disconnection. The cost of this shows up everywhere: in our bodies, which cry out with digestive issues and chronic conditions; in our relationships, where we’ve lost the communities that once held us; and in our day-to-day, where we feel rudderless, anxious, and incapable of navigating our lives without outsourced advice.

For years, Yale and Columbia-trained psychiatrist Ellen Vora has taken a holistic approach to helping her patients navigate these challenges. But when she herself experienced a shattering loss, she realized that true healing will never come from a wellness program. What we need is an openness to mystery.

According to Vora, every woman possesses a natural connection to magic, but our culture’s biases have severed our ties to the mystical. In Season of the Witch, Vora examines those biases and reveals the five practices that can help us reclaim the full spectrum of our intelligence: embodiment; presence; valuing the yin; being open to mystery; and serving the collective.

By engaging with these practices, we become witches: women who walk through the world with a quiet conviction, anchored in our own knowing, grounded and resilient, trusting that we are whole onto ourselves—women fully alive to mystery. This is what true witchiness looks like: not an escape from reality, but a deeper way of being in it.
