Pre menstrual phase. Autumn. Waning moon. Subcounsciuos mind.
It is the most challenging phase for me. It took me a long time to start connecting with enchantress, it has always been hidden by the tiredness and frustration. My maiden has always been in command and it was hard for me to understand that I couldn´t have the same physical energy and mental ability during all my cycle. I couldn’t leave room for the intuition, the magic and subconscious of the enchantress.
My body needs to rest more, my face starts being very pale and with sleeping bags, I can’t think a lot or do a lot of things fast, I need to have a slower rhythm. Waking up early in the morning becomes a challenge, I don’t feel like talking a lot or be sociable. My body has other needs but sometimes it’s hard to listen to it because we are used to being productive all the time, social, nice, full of joy and energy.
Why can´t we allow us to go into our internal trip? Slow down? Ask for help? Take time for us? Why not accept that we cannot always be pure light as the full moon of the mother or full energy as the crescent moon of the maiden? We slowly move into the darkness of the fall and later winter.
We can be easily irritated, experience frustration besides being very sensitive if we don’t connect with the energy of this archetype. If we don’t listen to your body and connect with creativity.
This is the moment of the cycle that I start to slow down and give time to myself. I normally eat double or want to eat sweets, I permit myself that cake that I like. I treat myself because I deserve. I postpone the alarm to rest a few more minutes, I try to take ten minutes naps, I give myself a massage or a long bath, I try to be flexible with myself.
I try to leave behind everything that has to do with numbers and mental activities (if possible or knowing that I’m not in my best time for that). I like to clean and throw away what I do not need anymore. I connect with my enchantress and its magic playing music, dancing, doing smoking rituals… How do you connect with your enchantress?
How are the energies of Enchantress?
It might be the most challenging of all menstrual phases for all women and also the longest of the cycle. Our leaves (energy) start to fall like the leaves of the trees in autumn, but at the same time that our mental abilities and physical energy decrease; our magic, intuition, dreams and subconscious mind begin to grow.
If we do not rest enough and don’t accept that we don’t have the same energy as a maiden we might feel angry, upset, frustrated, irritated. Not just because we don’t flow with this energy but also because we don’t leave room to express the strong need of creativity that enchantress has.
It is the best moment of our cycle to connect with our inside and create, without giving importance to the final product, it is just important to bring out our creative and sexual energy outside.
It’s the perfect moment to practice tarot, smoke an incense, use crystals or other healing art or magic.
For the productive society this archetype is not well seen or accepted. We need to accept that we can´t be always productive and that the world also needs this energy. We need the energy of the Enchantress to express, to heal us and other people. We are knowledge and medicine.
