The feminine does not move in straight lines; she spirals through the budding season of spring, the fullness of summer, the harvest of autumn, the quiet knowing of winter unfold like the turning of the earth:Maiden, Mother, Mage and Crone In this episode, we are joined by Jane Hardwicke Collings, founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, former nurse and midwife, a woman of grandmother wisdom and power with her work rooted in deep devotion to Mother Earth and all her inhabitants. Together, we explore what it means to move through these archetypes consciously: the Springtime of the Maiden, alive with growth and possibility; the Summer of the Mother/Creatrix, where creation and contribution bloom; the Autumn of the Mage, where wisdom ripens through harvest and menopause; and the Winter of the Crone, elder and guide, carrying the depth of a life fully lived. We speak to the psychological, spiritual and cultural dimensions of these transitions - the stories we inherit about menstruation and menopause, the grief and power in aging, and the places where sisterhood and elder wisdom have been lost… and must be reclaimed. Through this conversation, you will gain a deeper understanding of: Why so many women remain bound to the Maiden archetype How our hormonal profile shifts through each season of womanhood and what it reveals about our growth, power and inner cycles How patriarchal structures have fostered shame and suppressed women’s natural rites of passage, diminishing the sacred power of our feminine cycles The spiritual rites woven into menstruation, menopause and beyond The gift of aging and how to reclaim power and presence as we grow older The importance of elder women, grandmothers and sisterhood in guiding younger generations How to honour your body as sacred and embrace each season as initiation This episode invites you to see your life not as a linear path, but as a cyclical journey -one that calls you to honour your body, your womanhood and the wisdom of every season you inhabit.
