Turning Towards the Mystery

One of the biggest problems with mainstream paradigms is that they prioritize certainty and the known (aka, the dogma of materialism). Join me in this episode to  open yourself to the vast feminine realm of the mysterious and unseen. We explore the richness and complexity that lies beyond the material. Where you can access profound self-knowledge and experience a world more wild, wonderful, and beautiful than you ever imagined.

We chat about: 

  • Feminine alchemy and the transformative power it holds. 

  • Why the Witch’s New Year is at Halloween, or Samhain.

  • The profound feminine power of darkness, and the unknown.

  • The incommunicable transmission of the feminine and the mysteries it reveals. 

  • How embodiment offers a non-linear path of self-discovery and deep wisdom. 

  • The magic that unfolds when you embrace the mysteries and open channels of communication with the soul of the world.

If the pull of the unknown is calling you, book a transformative session with me, and step into an adventure like no other. In these sessions, we surrender to the mysterious, the mystical, and the magical where your greatest potential lies!

Podcast Transcript:

I am feeling the vibes this week. I wanted to talk about the darkness, the unknown, the mystery as it relates to the feminine. We just had Samhain, one Halloween, and that is the witch's New Year.

The wheel of the year for the witchy woman doesn't start in the light. It actually starts now in the dark because this is part of the feminine mysteries. Here, everything starts in the darkness. Everything is born from darkness.

You know, babies, seeds, our menstrual cycles. You know, day one of your menstrual cycle is the day that you bleed. It's your dark moon time. So we're really turning the paradigm backwards from how we might normally think about it in our over culture. From starting outwards and in the light to actually no.

We're starting inwards. We're starting in the darkness, and that's really the beginning of all things. It's this liminal space, the womb's space, the void. It's this really feminine space of birthing and creativity and where really all new things are born from.

So leaning into the mystery is really such a deep and important part of feminine practice. Coming into an awareness and a fluency with the mystery, opening to the mystery, the mysterious, the unseen, the void, the unknown, the realms that we're not able to grasp and hold onto in this 3D realm, the Earth realm, is such an important part of the feminine practice. Developing a grace and a fluidity to be able to go into those realms is such a deep part of the feminine. We're really obsessed in our culture with certainty.

And we have this obsession with being able to prove in a verifiable, demonstrable way, in a concrete way. And all of this is the trappings of materialism, of this worldview of materialism, where anything that you can't hold onto or you can't demonstrate in a physical, reproducible way is discounted as unverifiable, as if it's outside of the realms of that, then it's dismissed. But opening yourself to the mystery allows you access to knowledge of yourself and the world and to experiences in this human body that are much more wild and wonderful and rich and nuanced and complicated and beautiful than anything that materialism offers.

There is an incommunicable transmission of the feminine and of the mystery that is happening in these spaces. And one of the reasons I call this Feminine Mystery School, and it is such a big interest and passion and focus in my work and in these sessions. When you're stepping into the session, there really is something that's happening in the alchemy of the space that is beyond comprehension in some ways, that is leaning into the realms of the magical alchemy, the unexplainable because really we are in communication with the soul of the world. And when we step into these kinds of spaces, when we do this kind of work, when we open these portals within our own beings, we are opening channels of communication. We're playing in those realms, in the realms of the mystery.

And it's not only just this idea of the feminine mystery and that intangible aspect of the feminine and of this feminine embodiment work and feminine practice. It is also that when you step into these kind of alchemical transformational containers, that you are really in so many ways opening yourself to the unknown. You are stepping out onto a path of the unknown, and it's super risky. And we are just collectively, we're not taught how to be in these kind of experiences. We're cautioned in so many ways to be practical, be sensible, and just the experience of having an ego, an identity in a way that we see ourselves, in the way that we see our experience of life and the stories that we're living out in our lives. To start breaking out of those molds. To ask questions, to ask questions about ourselves and to step out into the unknown. It's enormously risky. It's super scary and can be super confronting. But truly, as I said in the beginning, nothing new can be born from the known, from the spaces that we already are comfortable in inhabiting.

So really stepping out into the mystery and getting comfortable with that. And if not comfortable, at least developing a level of self-trust that allows us to free fall in a sense, that allows us to source our safety from a different place. Our true source of safety is an embodied sense of safety within our own selves. That we are allowed to actually surrender into the experience of the unknown. That we allow ourselves to actually ask those questions that may disrupt our entire ego sense of ourselves or our understanding of the world and our story of who we are in the world.

If you're the type of person who needs a very linear explanation, for you know, this is step one and this is the next step and this is where we're gonna end up. And this is exactly how we're gonna get there. My work is probably not for you, to be honest.

I work in a very non-linear, feminine way with my clients, and that really means being led by the mystery and orienting ourselves towards your inner experience and towards the wisdom that emerges when you open the space for this kind of communication with the great mystery and with the unknown.

If any of this interests you though, I encourage you to book a session with me so that you can experience this for yourself because, as I said, there's something about it that is a transmission. It can't really be fully communicated in that verbal way or you read it on my Instagram or something.

And I know we all like to really understand things at a mental and a cognitive level, but there's something much deeper and mysterious and mystical and magical happening in these spaces that we're tapping into, and that I am, I'm just stoked to be here, to guide people on, and you know, to take these journeys into that mystery.

It's really my dharma, it's what I'm here on the planet to do. So I would very much love for you to book one of these sessions. The link is in the description. So hop on over there, book a session. Let's do some alchemy and some magical, mysterious, mysterious work together.
