From Dark to Light

For thousands of years, humans have been practicing rituals and ceremonies where the principle is to go down into the darkness in order to rebirth into the light.

This descent was understood to be a process of symbolic, psychic and deep emotional transformation. 

We can see evidence in this in Goddess stories, myths and mysteries which are thousands of years old. 

There is the story of Demeter and her daughter Persephone where Persephone would voluntarily descend into the darkness in order to keep the world fertilized and balanced. This was celebrated in Greece for thousands of years. 

There is a similar story in the Sumerian myth where Inanna descends into the Underworld to meet with her ‘dark twin’ Ereshkigal, to gain wisdom and knowledge. 

 Then we have the myth of Jesus and Mary Magdalene who also made a journey of descent down into the personal and collective realms of hell for redemption. 

This descent into darkness was known as the ‘underworld’ and the land of the dead. It is also the place where we can find our lost psychic realms and the place where our worst fears, deep traumas and emotional pain has been buried for safekeep. Until, that is, we are strong enough to descend down to claim it. 

What lurks beneath in the soil of our underworld is parts of our feminine soul (and this could be the collective feminine as well as our individual soul). They are like lost treasure and it is only when we take the time to search, to go on our very own treasure hunt, that we are able to restore them. 

At this month’s circle, you will descend into your shadows to witness and reclaim the lost treasure of your feminine soul.

Taking a descent into these dark places within us, into our shadow is an opportunity for us to cleanse. It can be likened to a form of psychic hygiene where we can face our shadows and demons, and also restore our feminine soul, shakti and vitality back to wholeness as we return from the underworld.

✨ MEDITATION to Journey into the Underworld and let go of your fear of the dark

✨ INTIMATE SHARING with sisters to declare what treasure of your feminine soul you are reclaiming

✨ RITUAL to reclaim your light and shine bright in the world
