🔮 THE RED WITCH READING #10: When Anger Turns Inward
From Doktor Snake:
Some anger explodes outward.
But some turns inward — becoming self-criticism, regret, or quiet bitterness directed at oneself.
You replay old choices.
You judge past versions of yourself harshly.
You think: I should have known better.
This reading is for those who feel weighed down by anger that has nowhere to go — so it settles inside.
The Red Witch understands this terrain intimately.
The Red Witch Speaks:
“Anger that has no outlet becomes a cage.”
She says inward anger is often misdirected grief.
You are not angry because you failed —
you are angry because you cared deeply and were hurt.
“Do not punish the self that survived,” she warns.
“It did the best it could with the knowledge it had.”
The Red Witch reminds you that hindsight is cruel precisely because it sees more clearly than the past ever could.
“You are judging yesterday with today’s eyes,” she says.
“That is not justice — it is illusion.”
The anger doesn’t need suppression.
It needs recognition — and release.
🜂 The Practice — “Return the Blade”
Stand or sit upright.
Imagine the anger as a blade you’ve been holding against yourself.
Now picture placing that blade gently on the ground.
Say quietly:
“I return this anger to time.”
Feel your shoulders loosen.
Let the breath deepen.
This practice shifts anger out of the self and back into the flow of experience where it can dissolve.
🜃 Reflection
Self-directed anger is a sign of conscience, not failure.
But conscience becomes cruelty when it forgets compassion.
You do not need punishment.
You need permission to move forward.
And the Red Witch grants it.
