Reclaim Your Fire

Your life feels tight. Like a too small, too dark house. Inside, the voices are saying you are never done, but you must do all the work because people are depending on you.

You know it has to change and you are scared to blow up your life. You feel trapped.

But there is something that tells you that there is another way. That is Baba Yaga’s voice.

She is the archetypal, ancient Witch of the woods, the initiator and the Grandmother of Time and she says,

Is Baba Yaga calling you? Here’s how you know:

“Come into the forest. Reclaim Your Fire.”

Do You Know of The Witch Wound?

For centuries, women who were outspoken, intuitive, politically active, or socially powerful were treated as dangerous. During the European Witch hunts, thousands were executed and many more were punished or silenced.

The message was clear: Anyone who steps fully into their power risks losing safety, belonging, and protection.

That message continued to echo even when the Witch hunts ended. It changed form and moved into culture, institutions, and the nervous systems of those who came after.

It is the Witch Wound, the legacy of those who had to suppress their power to survive.

Signs you are carrying the Witch Wound:

  • You lower the intensity of your ideas so people will not see you as difficult or intimidating.

  • You feel like you are not doing enough even while accomplishing a great deal.

  • You have to choose between your own health and people or the work that you love.

  • You don’t speak up when you feel anger, or strong intuition, instead you question yourself and pull back.

  • You can make a list of all the things you don’t want but cannot clearly answer the question, “What do I want?”

The good news is that healing the Witch Wound is possible
✨ And amazing ✨

It happens when you reclaim the powers that have been lost: The 9 Powers of the Witch.

Awaken The 9 Powers of the Witch

These powers were never truly lost. Through all the years that the Witch Wound has been dormant, these powers have been waiting to be awakened. They are the Powers of the Witch to work in harmony with the land and harness the power of the seasons to make great change.

In this nine-week program, you set a goal for the change you need. And then make it happen week by week as you acquire The 9 Powers of the Witch:

  1. The Power to Desire More. You heal the Witch Wound’s suppression of desire in week one by reconnecting with what you really want and naming a goal that will ripple through your life.

  2. The Power to See. When the voice of doubt tells you change is impossible, you open your Witch’s eye in week two by using the tools of divination to see the hidden ways.

  3. The Power to Choose. Feel like you’ve tried to make change before? Our deep selves need ritual to commit to a choice and we make a powerful threshold crossing with the ritual of week three.

  4. The Power to Trust. That feeling when you stop doubting and know what you are doing is right? Tap into it and trust even hard decisions with your values-based personal pentacle guiding you, starting in week four.

  5. The Power to Know. When you claim this Witch’s power, you know what you know. Face down tests and challenges with your gifts and expertise in full flower in week five.

  6. The Power to Love. Toxic patterns that have trapped you require shadow work. Claim the Witches’ power to love your shadow with a ritual that sets you free in week six.

  7. The Power to Take Your Time. Now, time can be your ally again. End the frantic feeling and regain spacious, creative time by learning and owning the three kinds of time in week seven.

  8. The Power to Dare. Supported by all of the powers you have acquired you take bold action to complete your goal in week eight.

  9. The Power to Lead. In week nine, you integrate these nine powers and become one of the wise. Now you bring the wisdom of the Witch’s powers to leadership of your team, your family, and your one and only life.

Have you tried a new routine, or a planner, or a program that felt like you were filling in spreadsheets? That’s not how you heal the Witch Wound.

You don’t need self-improvement.

You need the hand of the goddess and a ritual journey that awakens The 9 Powers of the Witch.

Reclaim your life, your energy, your time, and your magic.

Reclaim Your Fire 🔥

Tried to make change before?

This cycle of going to the dark and coming back out is rooted in a very old process. Get in there.
— ~Alex Hudson, Executive Director

Guided By an Ancient Goddess.

Baba Yaga is not just a wise old Witch. She is the ancient goddess of the forest who ruled the woods long before the Witch hunts, who survived when many other goddesses were erased.

And she has always been an initiator.

In the tale of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Wise, she guides us to reclaim the 9 Powers.

Vasilisa lives on the edge of the forest. She works and works and never is it enough. When her fire goes out, she is sent into the dark woods to seek Baba Yaga.

There, Baba Yaga gives her tasks that awaken her powers, her lineage, and the gifts that were lying dormant in her all along.

When she returns, Vasilisa becomes the Witch she was meant to be, carrying her clear and shining fire.

You are Vasilisa. Your fire is waiting for you and step by step you’ll reclaim it as you learn
The 9 Powers of the Witch.

“I am afraid of burning down my life.”

This is one of the most common fears that we hear from people considering Reclaim Your Fire.

You don’t have to quit your job. You don’t have to leave your family.

But you will leave behind the version of yourself that survived by pretending to be powerless.

I began this work depleted—overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in grind culture… This program didn’t just teach me ideas; it gave me a map to make what seemed impossible, possible.
— ~Eleanor Wehrman,. Technical Manager, Quality Business Management, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.

Choose Your Path

Your questions, answered

  • Absolutely not.

    We built this program to work in your real life. Short exercises, real live support and motivation, deep change.

    You won’t exhaust yourself, you’ll reclaim yourself.

  • No.
    We use ritual and the ancient tools of witchcraft to make deep and lasting change. These tools do more than engage your nervous system and subconscious — they transform you and your life at an energetic level as well as in countless practical ways.

    You don’t need any experience as a Witch. You do need to want to connect with your power. (And like hanging out with Witches.)

  • No.

    It’s for people who are done shrinking.

    You may be a director, a founder, a manager, a caregiver, a mother, an activist — or all of the above.

    This is about self-leadership.

    Not job titles.

  • It won’t.

    It may make you:

    Set a boundary.
    Name a truth.
    Stop over-functioning.
    Ask for what you need.

    That can feel big.

    But this is about clarity, not chaos.

    You will make your moves and decisions from grounded choice — not rebellion for rebellion’s sake.

  • That’s teh Witch Wound talking.

    Every coven includes people who are holding it together on the outside and feel a loud calling from the inside.

    The relief of being in a room where no one is pretending is profound.

  • If you feel the pull, you are ready.

    You do not have to feel fearless.

    You only have to feel done with feeling dead inside.

    We will guide you through the rest.

  • Yes.

    This space assumes that our societal systems shape your exhaustion.

    We speak openly about power, conditioning, and cultural expectations.

    If you want neutral, apolitical self-improvement, this is not that.

    If you want sustainable power without replicating harm, you will feel at home here.

What others say

I was afraid it was going to be more of the same. Now, I feel like I went five levels up. This cycle of going to the dark and learning about yourself and coming back out is rooted in a very old process. Get in there.
— Alex Hudson, Executive Director, Transportation Choices
Ella’s witchy-ness, combined with her many years of experience, were just what I was hoping for and on top of that, she is genuinely caring and fun to work with. Reclaim Your Fire changed me so much I joined Lead Like a Witch as a guide. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to feel more powerful, confident, and connected to their own magic.
— Reiny Cohen Communications Hub Director, Fuse Washington
Today, I feel strong, seen, and fully capable. If you’re feeling burned out, stuck, unseen, or unsure of your next move, I can’t recommend Ella’s work highly enough. It’s truly transformational.
— Christine Anderson, King County Deputy Division Director, Bus Operations, King County Metro Transit.
