I’ve been visiting with the ghosts of the women I have been. The many incarnations of Self. They all have their wisdom.
And their folly. I’ve discarded many of them over time, leaving a shell behind like a hermit crab and moving into a new roomier shinier version of me. Each change a metamorphosis. . Each shift an initiation. This year has been one of those in between places. The place where I’ve left one shell and have yet to land in my new one. On Friday my therapist reminded me that I’ve been hanging in The Void. The Void is never a terribly comfortable place to reside. Especially for someone who likes to “do” and doesn’t like to wait. (And I am both). Every step forward this year has been met with resistance. The places of ease have been in the stillness. In the presence. And reminder after reminder that this is where I supposed to be right now have arisen. But I am stubborn. I want to make things happen. I feel impatient. We can not force growth. We cannot force development. We cannot force things into being that are not yet ready to be born. ‘ (and trust me, I’ve tried.) So I’ve been hanging with the ghosts of the women I’ve been. Borrowing their wisdom, rediscovering things I left behind that perhaps are ready for a polish and shine. Discovering new truths. New ideas. Certainty of what comes next. Fidgeting in my impatience to begin. Now! What has become so clear to me in the past couple of weeks is that the heart of Wise Woman Witchery has always been about helping women step into their power., Their magic. And of all the things I have taught and shared and offered, the magic of ceremony held in community is where the deepest transformations lie. I’m not entirely certain of the shape and form but I am feeling the call and I know for certain in the future I’ll be bringing more of these offerings. For now, as the season deepens and Samhain nears, I will be sending out my annual invitation to connect with your ancestors.
