THRESHOLD SEASON - WHAT IS CALLING YOU TO THE OTHER SIDE?

You’re in a threshold season and you can feel it because the seeking has softened, or maybe for you the seeking has started?
For so long, my anima lived in the places that were “allowed”: the spiritual work, the creative realm, the invisible temple where intuition speaks in image and symbol. She had a throne there… and yet in the psychological world ; in the everyday decisions, the grounded commitments, the slow maturation of a life , she was often left out of the room. And when the anima is exiled from the practical psyche, the system compensates: we keep looking, keep scanning, keep searching for the next sign, the next door, the next confirmation. It can look like ambition. It can look like expansion. But underneath it is often a restless hunger for the inner feminine to be met. This is typical of an animus driven woman.
Doing the anima and animus work within my psychology study and intergration has allowed something very deep to change in me — and it feels like its finally landing. Believe me acting in opposition to my normal behaviour has been somewhat tormenting and torturous!
Integrating my anima into the psychological fabric of my life has altered my relationship with time. I’m less compelled to chase what I can’t yet hold. I’m more willing (a little more hahaha !) to sit in the not-knowing without making it mean I’m stuck. I can wait, not as a collapse, not as passivity, but as a queenly state: receptive, discerning, deeply attuned. ( Working with the Queen Archetype has helped illuminate what this actually means) It’s as if an inner axis has been restored, and the constant “elsewhere” has loosened its grip. When we do the real work with anima and animus, we understand they are not just concepts, but are living forces inside the psyche — they allow us to stop outsourcing our destiny to urgency. We stop confusing movement or for some of us apathy with alignment.
Because here is the truth I keep meeting again and again: what the soul truly wants to seed into the world will arrive when we become the kind of woman who can carry it.
We cannot force it, nor can we ignore it we have to meet it in the middle of the opposites ,this is the place of transfomation; the mandorla, the enantiodromia, the holy yoni.
This is the great work.
When we face the inner opposites , the feminine and the masculine currents inside us and stop living as a split psyche. When the inner masculine becomes a sacred container rather than a whip. When the inner feminine becomes a trusted authority rather than a mystical visitor who only gets invited in for ritual and art. When these forces come into right relationship, life responds. Doors open without distortion. Opportunities arrive without the old frantic bargaining. The nervous system relaxes. The mind becomes quieter. The body starts to believe the future is safe enough to receive. The women of womb alchemy have been experiencing this in the latter two months of the modules we have covered and are also having some extreme truths rise from thier unconcious that could potentially change everything for them.
This is why archetypal work isn’t “nice to have” for women i believe it to be essential. Archetypes are not personalities. They are deep patterns of power in the psyche ; living intelligences that want expression. When we don’t consciously relate to them, we still live them… but we live them unconsciously, through compulsion, projection, sabotage, repeating dynamics, distorted relationships, the constant loop of “why do I keep doing this?”
When we do relate to them consciously, they become allies, they organise our energy, clarify our choices. They give language to the wordless knowing. They empower us to take up space without apology because we realise: I am not “too much.” I am simply inhabited by forces that were made to move through a human life.
And I’m feeling certain archetypes rising in me now as callings.
The Priestess — who listens beneath the noise.
The Goddess — who knows her worth without performance.
The Empress — who builds what she is here to build, in the material world, with devotion and strategy.
And yes… a little wink… the Duchess — the one who leads from the grace of the heart, who doesn’t need to dominate to be influential, who knows that true authority is a frequency.
I want to work with these more and more with women beacause along side awakeing her sexual life force they govern their way into the world through women willing to hold them. ( I have put links below if you feel pulled to look do some of this work)
There’s something big forming. Something I’m not ready to fully name here — not yet — because I want to honour the timing, and I’ll share the fuller story when it’s ready for a proper announcement. But I can say this: the piece that is landing in my life now didn’t come from frantic striving. It came from integration, inner union, doing the work that stops the psyche from scattering its power.
And in the midst of all this… my life is moving. I have been given a huge oppoirtunity and undertaking to pour my lifes work into , to create the very thing I have chased for sooooo long! This opportunity came to me on Friday 13th ! The day of the Goddess and in the portal of the eclipse the whole project landed in my womb and the structure ( which is the masculine aspect) was handed to me. I am so excited to share this with you all soon, when the time is right.
It’s possible I’ve sold my house before even advertising it , the way people have reached out has felt like a strange kind of providence, as if the next chapter has been quietly arranging itself while I’ve been busy becoming the woman who can hold it. This is my last spring in France. That sentence alone carries so much: grief, liberation, tenderness, awe. A whole life season closing. A whole new one stepping closer.
So yes big changes are afoot for me and my Mystery School and it will land somewhere bigger than my smaller self could have ever imagined into a place that has the capacity to hold my too muchness!
Watch for the big announcement.
I would love to hear whats happening for you all xxx
