Witchcraft and Recovery: A Candid Chat with Vasalisa Wall

For me, it would be labeled as witchcraft, but what I would say first of all to anyone who has had the experience, regardless if it was day one or if your child, you know, is an adult child, your loss is valid, your pain is real and it doesn't make it any easier.
Ever wondered what it’s like to chat with a real-life witch? Lori Windfeldt brings you a fascinating conversation with Vasalisa Wall, an 'out of the broom closet' witch, on this episode of Recovery Hour. Vasalisa, who has spent over a decade in addiction recovery work, shares her unique journey of intertwining witchcraft with healing and recovery.
From her childhood experiences growing up on a mountain to her professional roles as a Certified Trauma Professional and Recovery Coach, Vasalisa offers a refreshing perspective on reclaiming power through spirituality. Lori and Vasalisa dive into the history and misconceptions of witchcraft, revealing how it was once closely tied to healing and herbal medicine before being persecuted. They also explore the deeper meanings behind Halloween and Samhain, shedding light on their spiritual significance.
Vasalisa's story is not just about spells and potions; it's about finding strength in one's identity and using that power to aid in recovery. She talks about the importance of education in breaking down stigma and the role of spiritual communities in supporting those dealing with trauma and grief. By the end of the episode, Vasalisa shares her acronym for 'witch', encouraging listeners to embrace their own spiritual journeys.
This episode is a blend of history, personal anecdotes, and empowering insights that might just change how you view both witchcraft and recovery.
