Am I a witch? This seemingly simple question is actually quite complicated for many of us to answer. How do you know if the label applies to you? And if it does apply to you, does it even matter? Do we claim it? Or keep it hidden? This episode explores how to go about defining this word for yourself through intentional silence and following your inner knowing. We'll marvel at the explosion of fall color, while enjoying the leaf covered trails. We may even get lost in the woods for a moment while we ponder, "Am I a witch?"
