Menstrual Cycle Archetypes: Warrior, Creator, Sorceress, Oracle

Beautiful women. This is a mystical short talk from Sam (Aluna Moon). She highlights the four goddess archetypes of the menstrual cycle: Warrior, Creator, Sorceress and Crone. With this knowledge we can join together in sisterhood to enjoy our lives as modern day cyclic women and reach our full potential.

Transcript

Hello Insight Timer,

It's Sam from Aluna Moon and today I'm going to talk to you about the taboo of the menstrual cycle.

And I'm going to do this through the lens of goddess archetypes.

So it all gets a bit mystical.

If you don't currently have a menstrual cycle,

You can still connect with the goddess energies.

So as the title indicates,

These four stages are the warrior,

The creator,

The sorceress and the oracle.

Women embody these four special archetypal energies.

You might have heard of the words maiden mother crone,

Perhaps through the triple goddess or in fairy tales.

And we believe there are four very important phases in the menstrual cycle and the life cycle.

There are four seasons of the year,

Four phases of the moon cycle and four phases of the female cycle.

Pre ovulation,

Ovulation,

Pre menstruation and menstruation.

So I'll give a little synopsis of each.

I would really love to hear back from you if you connect to this kind of work.

And please do look out for free meditations from us on this subject.

Today is just a brief introductory talk.

So the warrior.

She is the goddess of strength,

Youthfulness,

Intelligence,

Confidence.

She is the dynamic goddess energy that appears just after bleeding during the pre ovulation phase in the menstrual cycle.

And as a young woman in the life cycle.

She is the spring.

The waxing moon.

The new beginning.

The huntress and the dawn.

So this is a high energy time and it's the point in your cycle to really go for it.

So you can plan a night out,

New project,

Pay the bills,

Stay up late working,

Meet new people and organize your life to meet new goals.

She also has a darker side and is praying to perfectionism and burnout.

So then we move into the creator phase in our cycle in life.

And this is all about giving birth to something.

The creator goddess energies come to the fore midway in our cycle during ovulation.

Historically,

She is the mother archetype.

And we could say she stands for parenthood,

Patience,

Ripeness,

Balance,

Creativity and compassion.

It can be a really potent phase if you want to conceive,

Have children,

But by any woman with the desire to harness that wonderful female,

Innate creative wisdom.

The creator goddess is the connection to the oneness of life.

The joy of the moment.

The fullness of the summer,

The earth and the moon.

She can also be overprotective,

Guilty,

Easily exhausted and withdrawn in the dark.

Let's move to the sorceress.

She is the wild woman.

We feel the sorceress's energy most strongly during the pre menstrual phase of our cycle.

So after we've experienced the fullness of the creator phase and ovulation has passed,

We begin to feel the magical presence of the sorceress.

She can be uninhibited,

Magnetic,

Limitless and her true self.

She can also be vindictive,

Jealous,

Angry and dismissive in the dark.

Hello,

PMS.

She is the autumn and the waning moon.

The Oracle.

We move into the Oracle now,

Also known as the Crone in the triple goddess and is the final stage in our cycle in life.

We feel the Oracle goddess most strongly in our menstrual cycle during bleeding and as postmenopausal in our life cycle.

The Oracle goddess archetype is all about introspection,

Spiritual visions,

Withdrawal,

Wisdom,

Total acceptance and enoughness.

She is the dark or the new moon and the winter.

She can also be bitter,

Unforgiving,

Judgmental,

Defeatist and overwhelmed if not brought into the light.

So that's each goddess archetype.

And so many women in this modern day world are experiencing female related dis-eases,

Painful periods,

Irregular cycles,

Infertility,

Hormonal imbalances,

PMS and so on.

In ancient times,

Women and their cycles were highly respected and honored.

Each month,

Women would gather at the time of menstruation in a red tent.

They would take time to rest,

Retreat,

Daydream,

Be with each other and allow their bodies to rest.

Women knew how to listen to their body,

Work with their energy levels and use the gifts of their menstrual cycle.

Now,

Because of the crushing pressures of modern day living,

We as women are disconnected from nature.

We resist phases of our cycle.

We feel like we have to.

We push ourselves to keep going even when we're tired and we want to retreat.

Working against ourselves like this causes all kinds of imbalance and dis-ease within the body,

Mind and spirit.

As women,

We are cyclical.

And when we learn what this truly means for us in our lives,

We can create so much more harmony within.

So you might want to ask yourselves just a few questions after this talk has ended.

How do you feel about your menstrual cycle?

What part or parts do I connect with the most?

Which part or parts do I need to tend to?

Just a couple of questions to get you started.

By becoming more aware of our cycle through the Goddess Energy Archetypes,

We can really get to know ourselves and reach our full potential as a cyclic modern day woman.

It's no coincidence to us that nature works in cycles just as we do.

We as women can learn so much from nature about ourselves and our lives and how to use these incredibly powerful gifts we've been granted to honor our respect and connect with that divine feminine energy within.

Thanks so much for listening to this short talk on the archetypal energies.

We would love to hear back from you.

We have just finished a 30-day course on the subject and would love to get to know more about what women need and be part of an insight time,

A sisterhood that support each other,

Guide each other and look out for each other in some way.

Thanks for listening and we hope to hear back from you soon.

Sat Naam.

Bye for now.
