"For too long, this profound transition has been reduced to medical terminology. For centuries, menopause was pathologised as a disease and written about as the ‘fall of women’ by men who would never experience the mystical alchemy that occurs within a woman's body.

 

But the women in these pages know that magic. They speak of this autumn as initiation, a rite of passage, an emergence. They describe it as the time when the wise woman within finally claims her throne and places a crown on her own head. They tell of becoming the guide instead of the guided, of stepping into their power as keepers of ancient wisdom.

 

Our wombs, you see, are ancient technology, far more sophisticated than modern medicine has ever understood and our womb spaces - the sacred geography of feminine wisdom - are our energetic centre where we connect to our creative and intuitive power, and whether we still have a physical womb or not, we come wired for intuition, and pre-connected to lunar rhythms and earth cycles. When menopause arrives, it's not a malfunction - it's an activation. The mystic unpacks her bags and settles in for the long haul."
