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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 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 would require what her training had taught her to dismiss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccording to Vora, every woman possesses a natural connection to magic, but our culture teaches us to disavow it. From a young age, we understand the assignment—we learn to perform our rational, linear selves and quietly suppress our mystical side. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeason of the Witch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Vora names these forces 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy engaging with these practices, we become witches: women who walk through the world with a quiet conviction, anchored in our own knowing, trusting that we are whole unto 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A provocative call for women to reclaim the intuition, mystery, and transcendence that modern life has trained us to dismiss—from the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Anatomy of Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“\u003ci\u003eSeason of the Witch\u003c\/i\u003e is a bridge between the scientific and the mystical, leading us to embrace the magic that surrounds us.
