Menopause as a sacred threshold
What if instead of the villain we look at menopause as a sacred threshold, taking us from the archetype of the Mother to that of the Crone. Instead of something to be feared, it’s a journey. The next step of not only our physical evolution, but our spiritual one.
Hot flashes are not punishment, but power. Stepping forward into the power needed to burn away what we no longer need. Where we have drugged her into submission, we could be honouring the release of one phase of our life on our way to embrace the next. From childbearing to wise woman is a journey many of us go through. Yet few of us show our bodies, the love and respect that can help this transition.
HeKate is the goddess of thresholds, crossroads and liminal spaces. As a triple goddess, maiden, mother, and chrone; she is the perfect guide for this transition. Call her into your life during this space between motherhood and crone. Let her help you to honour the parts of you being released and prepare you for what is to come.
Whether your grieving the loss of those childbearing years or celebrating the shift to cron;, create a ritual, a sacred space to honour and release what no longer serves us. Energetically support your amazing body. The body that continually shifts and adapt throughout your journey. From puberty and menstruation, to pregnancy and birth, and on to menopause and cronehood.
We are miracles, and instead of dreading this phase, embrace her. Let your power as a sacred woman shine through the physical challenges of metamorphosis. Each ending is a beginning, and menopause is the liminal space between between motherhood and Cronehood.
Hekate is there to help us through this portion of our journey. Celebrate her and our bodies as we transition becoming the Wise Woman.
