The Enchantress – Menstrual Archetype and Creative Energy

Illustration "The Sorceress" – Menstrual Archetype and Creative Energy 🌙✨

This illustration represents the menstrual archetype of The Enchantress, a phase of power, transformation, and inner magic. It is part of the book LUA MENSTRUA, a collaboration with Sara Pedrazo, a workshop facilitator specializing in Feminine Cycles.

Menstrual archetypes are an ancient guide to understanding and harmonizing the different energies that women experience during their cycle. Each phase offers us a unique opportunity to better understand ourselves, align with our emotions, and enhance our creativity.

Menstrual Archetypes and their Energetic Phases

🔹 Pre-ovulation → The Virgin (Yang energy, renewal, vital impulse)
🔹 Ovulation → The Mother (Fullness, fertility, expression)
🔹 Pre-menstruation → The Sorceress (Transformation, intuition, creativity)
🔹 Menstruation → The Old Woman (Yin energy, introspection, death and rebirth)

Meaning of the Archetype of The Sorceress
The premenstrual phase is a time of great emotional and creative intensity, where energies that could have been used to create a new life are channeled toward artistic creation, intuition, and personal development.

⚡ The Enchantress's energy is powerful and disruptive. It can manifest as an emotional whirlwind that compels us to explore the shadows, question the established order, and break away from everything that no longer serves us.

Unlike the Virgin period, where energy is extroverted and expansive, The Enchantress directs its energy inward. This is a period in which physical energy decreases, but the mind becomes hyperactive, which can make it difficult to relax and fall asleep.

✨ Creativity, magic, spiritual connection, and awareness of one's own inner power are heightened. Dream activity also increases, which can bring important revelations and messages from the unconscious.

Sexuality and Feminine Energy of The Enchantress

During this phase, sexuality becomes more intense and magnetic. The Enchantress is confident in herself and her sexual power, manifesting it in a more aggressive, passionate, and demanding manner. Her seductive energy is so strong that it can attract and frighten at the same time.

🌒 It's time to connect with our most untamed essence, that part of us that isn't afraid to express itself authentically.

The Sorceress and the Energy of the Waning Moon

This phase is associated with autumn and the Waning Moon, a period of detachment, purification, and preparation for rebirth. It is the ideal time to:

✔ Eliminate what no longer serves us, both physically and emotionally.
✔ Nourish ourselves consciously to face the next phase of withdrawal.
✔ Evaluate which aspects of our lives need to be transformed.

Many women experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) during this period. Far from being a simple nuisance, this phenomenon can be seen as a manifestation of the Enchantress's energy: emotional intensity, hypersensitivity, and a profound aversion to the superficial and the mundane.

🌿 Instead of fighting this energy, we can learn to flow with it and harness its transformative potential.
