One significant step on the sacred feminine path is the Void. The Void is a paradoxical space filled with opportunities for exploration. It is darkness but a fertile darkness—a space that contains all possibilities.

Embracing the darkness and the unknown

Being in the Void can be a scary experience, as we have been conditioned to always remain in action and to push ourselves constantly. In our society, we are encouraged to perform and behave as if we were men, surrounded by constant invitations to become hyper-achievers and hyper-focused women. However, the Void is not a space for action; it is a place where both everything and nothing exist simultaneously. This aspect makes the Void a challenging space for many of us to navigate. 

It is a realm of stillness, inviting us to surrender to the unknown and retreat from the world to turn inward. The Void is a sacred space that helps us release old energies, tensions, and paradigms, allowing us to be reborn as a new self.

Surrendering to the mystery

The Void invites us to cease our grasping for control and to trust in the unseen forces at play. It is a time for rest, receptivity, acceptance, and quiet listening. Disorientation is part of the Void; it is an integral aspect of the journey. It is akin to getting lost in a dark forest, where we must be willing to take the risk of never finding our way back. We understand that when we eventually emerge from the Void, we will be transformed.

The Void serves as a reminder that as women, we are both spiritual and sensual beings who experience seasons and cycles. It highlights that being a woman is a mystical journey—one that cannot be fully comprehended through intellect alone. In fact, our intellect can only grasp the surface of this experience.

One of the challenges of the Void is that feminine energy has often been trivialized, reduced to something far smaller than it truly is. If we are not in touch with the intensity and raw power inherent in our feminine essence, then the Void may feel like it is shaking our very foundations and can be deeply unsettling. Our intellect is not equipped to navigate the Void; trying to do so is like attempting to find our way on a foggy day.

Trusting the sacred weaving

One of the gifts of the sacred feminine path is the reconnection to the Earth, the darkness, and the spiritual essence that permeates everything. On this feminine journey, the greatest transformations unfold naturally when we allow ourselves to simply be. The Void invites us to fully embrace our existence. Although it may seem empty and the journey through the Void might feel prolonged and hollow, navigating this space requires faith that new things will emerge.

It is a beautiful way to let go of overthinking and overplanning. As women, we transform ourselves; when we transform, the past and the old paradigm no longer hold significance. The new is created in accordance with our ability to release who we once were and our willingness to explore who we could become.

The Void represents the space between different states and moments in life. In darkness, in the forest, we discover our path, realizing that it does not need to be intellectualized. The power of the feminine lies in our ability to feel. We learn from emptiness, we learn from silence, and we rise from the womb of the Earth as new beings. By embracing the Void, we awaken to our true power, allowing ourselves to be woven into something greater than we ever imagined.
