There’s a very specific moment in the feminine embodiment journey that doesn’t get talked about enough:
That in-between place where you’ve done the spiritual integration work, the rituals, the soul-stretching… And suddenly, instead of wanting to push forward…you just want to pause. That’s where I am right now. I can feel the soul threshold. I can feel what’s coming next. I can sense the ritual I could do, the man I’m calling in, the woman I’m becoming.
But something in me is saying:
“Wait. Rest. You’ve already crossed so much. Breathe before the next becoming.”
And so I’m letting this be a moment of sacred integration.
No rushing. No pressure to share, prove, or activate.
Just sitting in the soft glow of my living space, after painting, after learning, after remembering my own soul essence.
This is what spiritual rest looks like before the next initiation.
This is what it feels like to be inside the second chamber of your spiritual awakening:

Not collapsed. Not confused.
Just quietly powerful.
Just deeply alive.
How to Recognize You’re at a Soul Threshold
I’ve done so much this weekend. Painting the space around me to match the energy within me. Learning more about my soul essence. Uncovering things I had never named before. Like how I move in cycles, how my depth has always made me feel different, how my medicine is both seen and unseen.
I thought I would do a ritual tonight. But something deeper spoke.
“Not yet. First, ask what ritual wants to come through you.”
Maybe I will tend to the energetic threads with my former relationship. Maybe I’ll create a ritual around the shame I carried as a little girl. Maybe I’ll call in the future that’s quietly circling me.
But tonight, the ritual is in the not doing.
The ritual is in the receiving.
The ritual is in letting beauty build quietly, in the pause.
This liminal space also feels like the terrain of the ancient feminine — dark, intuitive, powerful. If this resonates, explore the 11 Dark Feminine Archetypes I’ve written about — a map for navigating the unseen terrain.
The Ritual of Resting Before the Leap
And yes, I thought maybe I could work on a blog post. Maybe I could finally share the one about the 12 Witch Archetypes. It’s ready. It’s good.
But it’s not alive with my essence.
Because the woman I am now?
She’s not interested in sharing anything just to stay visible.
She wants to be felt. She wants what she puts out to be real.
She wants every word to carry a vibration that says: This is my soul speaking.
If you’ve ever felt that your power is cyclical and mysterious, you might find resonance in The Witch Archetype: Feminine Power and the Fire of Transformation.
When You Don’t Feel Ready Yet — Trust the Glow
So maybe this is the post.
Maybe this is the offering:
An invitation into the space before the ritual.
Before the clarity.
Before the next version of you.
A whisper to anyone else standing at the edge of their becoming, wondering why they don’t feel like leaping just yet.
It’s okay.
Let the glow build.
Let the next thing come find you when your body says yes.
You’re not behind.
You’re just resting in the temple between thresholds.
And if you’re someone who lives between worlds, who guards the mysteries and moves in cycles — you may also feel seen in The High Priestess Archetype: A Guide to the Unseen.
