Boudica (also written as Boadicea) was a Celtic queen who led a revolt against Roman rule in ancient Britain in A.D. 60 or 61.

As all of the existing information about her comes from Roman scholars, particularly Tacitus and Cassius Dio, little is known about her early life; it’s believed she was born into an elite family in Camulodunum (now Colchester) around A.D. 30.

At the age of 18, Boudica married Prasutagas, king of the Iceni tribe of modern-day East Anglia.

When the Romans conquered southern England in A.D. 43, most Celtic tribes were forced to submit, but the Romans let Prasutagas continue in power as a forced ally of the Empire.

When he died without a male heir in A.D. 60, the Romans annexed his kingdom and confiscated his family’s land and property. As a further humiliation, they publicly flogged Boudica and raped her two daughters.

Tacitus recorded Boudicca’s promise of vengeance after this last violation: “Nothing is safe from Roman pride and arrogance. They will deface the sacred and will deflower our virgins. Win the battle or perish, that is what I, a woman, will do.”

Like other ancient Celtic women, Boudica had trained as a warrior, including fighting techniques and the use of weapons. With the Roman provincial governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus leading a military campaign in Wales, Boudica led a rebellion of the Iceni and members of other tribes resentful of Roman rule.

After defeating the Roman Ninth Legion, the queen’s forces destroyed Camulodunum, then the captain of Roman Britain, and massacred its inhabitants. They went on to give similar treatment to London and Verulamium (modern St. Albans). By that time, Suetonius had returned from Wales and marshaled his army to confront the rebels.

In the clash that followed–the exact battle site is unknown, but possibilities range from London to Northamptonshire–the Romans managed to defeat the Britons despite inferior numbers, and Boudica and her daughters apparently killed themselves by taking poison in order to avoid capture.

In all, Tacitus claimed, Boudica’s forces had massacred some 70,000 Romans and pro-Roman Britons. Though her rebellion failed, and the Romans would continue to control Britain until A.D. 410, Boudica is celebrated today as a national heroine and an embodiment of the struggle for justice and independence.

Ancestral defects are stored in our cells and can cause anger, phobia, finical issues, and illnesses. We are actually effected by the sins and mistakes of our ancestors and we are carrying their karmic debts in our DNA.

Ancestral Healing

Ancestral healing is a powerful method for helping you to clear unwanted baggage from your energy field.

We are all master Creators of our reality. Our beliefs are the seeds that result in our physical world. Unfortunately, many of these seeds were sown when we were babies. Sometimes they are inherited from our parents or ancestors. Sometimes they come from past lives or different dimensions. So, healing is not simply a matter of using positive affirmations. The root has to be cleansed. When it goes, it is lifted from all beings, in all time, and all dimensions.

Ancestral healing does that – often very quickly. Sometimes change is instantaneous and dramatic. Sometimes it takes time, but know that more is more. The more you engage with this energy:

  • the easier it becomes to let go of old things that used to bother you
  • your old triggers melt away. Since you have fewer buttons, you’re more peaceful inside
  • the more ease you have in your day to day life regardless of the chaos outside of you
  • you may feel closer to the light inside of you, others, and Source itself
  • your wants and needs change so that they are more in alignment with your higher calling
  • pain becomes a thing of the past
  • your intuition deepens. You begin to know what is true and what is just a story
