The image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggression as healthy, our anger as purifying, and our power to nurture and create, but also to limit and destroy when necessary, as the very force that sustains all life.

Through the Goddess we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions. We can move beyond narrow, constricting roles and become whole.

I feel this deeply

It is disheartening when doors closed and for no real reason, meaning that the person closing the door doesn’t always have ample information prior to closing it

Doors close due to several reasons:

One side or the other no longer resonates with the other

There was a misunderstanding that could’ve been cleared up but the person closing the door chose not to communicate

Judgments were made without verification or clarification

A person had to close the door to hide their own insecurities and triggers

At the root of these issues is one consistent truth

Communication and empathy create opportunities for open doors

Fear and judgment closes doors

If there is compassion and true caring between two people, differences can be resolved or at the very least understood

With that understanding comes a shift in Energy, frequency and awareness

I wish you peace, harmony, and compassion as you travel

Do not try to fit the container but rather shine your brilliance in the expansiveness of the universe ~ you were designed intentionally 💜

Simply. 🧘🏿‍♀️

“The waiting is the hardest part — but also the holiest.”
– Caroline Myss

She sits veiled in white beside the tomb, because she has “nowhere else to go”. There is no map for what happens next. How many times have we been in that place, where one thing leaves, the next has not yet come and we are feeling lost and a bit hopeless? Knowing so much, we can’t possibly go back, but the fog is thick and moving up the mountain could find us in absolute disaster.

And so we sit, and we wait. This is the threshold.

Key Principles:
Liminality, holy waiting, surrender, sacred unknowing, faith beyond vision

Context:
This card is Magdalene at the empty tomb, the moment before revelation. She doesn’t yet know resurrection is near. She is suspended between loss and miracle, between what has died and what will rise. In this image, her back is turned to us, but we instinctively know how she feels. She has nowhere else to go but into the stillness.

Jungian/Alchemical Insight:
The threshold is the nigredo, the dark stage of the soul's alchemy. It is the moment when we have lost our bearings but not our essence. Magdalene here represents the sacred state of “not knowing,” which opens us to divine transformation. The ego cannot resurrect what it has not surrendered.

Artwork Description:
Magdalene is seen from behind, cloaked in white, seated before a barren, abstract tomb space. The simplicity is intentional: it reflects how the sacred often appears as absence, and serves to remind us that waiting consciously is a holy act. She is still, but the image carries a charge — something is about to happen. It is a reminder that all is not lost, that Love is not gone.

Card Meaning:
You are in a holy pause. There may be no answers, no direction; only stillness. But beneath the silence, something is quickening. Do not try to rush across this threshold. Wait, listen, trust. You are being transfigured.

Mantra:
I remain at the tomb, not because I have certainty — but because I have love. And there is nowhere else on this earth for me to go, so I shall wait.

No one can give you the peace and safety you need but yourself so please be a good steward of your inner peace 💖

No one can give you the peace and safety you need but yourself so please be a good steward of your inner peace 💖

There is no calm in a house where a woman feels neglected, depleted, and unseen.

You can lower the volume.
You can avoid the conversations.
You can call the quiet “peace.”

But peace doesn’t come from silence.

Silence is often just pain that learned to sit still.

Real peace doesn’t grow where needs are ignored and effort is one sided.
It doesn’t live in homes where a woman is expected to carry everything quietly and still smile through it.

Peace comes from love.
From consistency.
From respect that doesn’t disappear when life gets heavy.

Women don’t create peace out of nothing.

They create it when they feel safe.
When they feel valued.
When they feel supported instead of drained.

When a woman feels emotionally held, she softens.
She nurtures.
She gives freely.

But when her heart is tired, when her spirit feels overlooked, something changes.

She may still function.
She may still keep things running.
But the warmth fades.

The home starts to feel hollow.
The quiet feels heavy.
The connection thins out.

Not because she stopped caring.
Because she ran out of what she was never replenished with.

You cannot expect peace from a woman who is exhausted from carrying emotional weight alone.
You cannot demand calm while offering neglect.
You cannot avoid responsibility and still ask for harmony.

A peaceful home doesn’t begin with control or avoidance.
It begins with care.

With how you listen when she speaks.
With how you show up when she’s tired.
With whether you add to her life or quietly take from it.

Because peace is not something a woman owes a household.

It’s something that grows naturally when she is loved well.

And it always starts with how you treat the woman who carries the weight of it all.

“Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding.

The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.
It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.”

6 Practices to Begin Healing the Disempowered Feminine

We all have patterns or issues that continue to surface despite our best efforts to transform them.

They are often most noticeable during times of stress, transition, or when we want to step out in new directions. When they arise, it can stir up a lot of self-blame, anxiety, and frustration, all of which keep us in a tight knot of tension and contraction.

It is important to know that these places are difficult to shift because they usually exist in a matrix that is much larger than our individual self, such as our family, our culture, the collective unconscious, and often our soul patterns.

As we, as women collectively, inhabit our power and leadership in groundbreaking, new ways, one matrix we frequently encounter is the energetic complex of the Disempowered Feminine.

The Disempowered Feminine holds the frozen energy of generations of women silenced, banished or destroyed for daring to own their power, wisdom and light. She holds the cultural and institutional limits that forbid women from holding property or positions of authority. She holds the trauma of the burning times when as many as a million women were tortured and burned at the stake for being healers or wise women.

You may personally experience her when you can’t speak up and use your voice, or doubt yourself and your ability. She’s there when you give your power away, or you feel stuck and can’t take positive action on your behalf. She is present when you feel unworthy, can’t see your strengths or believe you don’t measure up. She is held in your body and your emotional field.

Recently I came face to face again with a recurring issue that has been challenging for me to change. I experienced familiar feelings of self-blame and powerlessness.

This time however, as I sat with my emotions and observed them with compassion, something new arose. I became aware that my issue is rooted in my mother line, in the generations of women who came before me. I tuned into my maternal matrix, and sensed how each woman was impacted by the familial, cultural and spiritual forces of her time. Each one did the best she was able, with the hand she was dealt.

My heart opened, and the knot in my stomach began to relax. I understood my struggle as part of a much bigger pattern, extending back in time for centuries. Soft tears of appreciation flowed. I felt my maternal ancestors circling me, lovingly cheering me on to take steps they were not able to.

Even as we have more options and freedoms available to us than ever before, many of us find that as we step into our fullness, we are also called to heal collective stuck and frozen places on behalf of womankind. One of the ways we do this is to recognize and dismantle structures of the Disempowered Feminine when we find her in ourselves.

As long as there are women living without personal freedom or power in our world, She will continue to be a potent collective presence affecting many of us personally.

We are here in part to bring Her healing and wholeness. We do this woman by woman, as we each claim our personal power and express our full nature as Sacred. When we support each other, the power of our individual work is magnified as it penetrates the collective.

So how do we heal Her?

We have found the following six practices to be a powerful place to begin:

~First recognize that the roots of this issue go beyond you personally
~Use your breath and gentle movement to open to emotions and release tension in your body
~Let go of self-judgments
~Know that you are part of a larger movement to discover and embody your power as a woman in new ways
~You do not have to do it alone. Find a supportive mentor, friend, or women’s circle
~Above all, be gentle with yourself!

Those of us on a conscious journey of healing do so for our selves and the collective. Each time we meet the Disempowered Feminine within us with tender presence and inner wisdom, we release another layer. This brings greater freedom to our selves, and to the generations that came before us and to those yet to come.
This work is our Sacred service to humanity, and an important contribution to bringing peace and healing to our world.
