What if you felt that being a Woman you were participating in
a universal mystery - carrying a sacred trust, as it were -
on behalf of the continuation of your species and the continuation
of a sacred mystery of creation that involved the entire universe?
What if that made you a part of the incarnate Goddess
and a part of the governing body of your society?
What must (ancient women's) sacred sense of themselves
have been under these conditions?

I ask you now, what would your sacred sense of self be like under these conditions? You can find out by attending your own Rites of Passage Initiation next year. To do so, simply contact The Women’s Ways Mystery School and register for the new e-Course: Rites of Passage Training and Preparation.
Each year we celebrate the intrinsic beauty and power of womanhood with this Initial Rite of Passage. It is inspired by the world renowned Apache Puberty Rites for Girls. To the People called Apache, this custom of ritualizing the recognition of womanhood has always been and continues to be the most sacred of ceremonies. Although The Women's Ways Mystery School Rites of Passage Ceremony is rooted in this arcane tradition, the wisdom and blessings of many cultures are incorporated in the training and preparation of Initiates.
You will be prepared, along with other women of all ages, from various backgrounds, spiritual practices and religious affiliations, for this empowering and life-altering experience. This Initiation opens up a treasure trove of women’s mysteries and awakens a dormant vibration within the feminine. As an Initiate you will learn to trust and give yourself permission to “be”. With this, you regain a truly sacred sense of self and take your rightful place in the modern world to unfold as an instrument of beauty, a vehicle of change!
Months from now, on the day of your Initiation, you will invite family and friends to witness your walk through the willow arch, an ancient symbol of transformation. All will gather around you to validate your claim to feminine power and will celebrate this most significant moment with you. To the People called Apache, there is a deep belief that their women, young and old, are their wealth. At The Mystery School we believe that too!
Everyone knows that the world must change if the Earth and all her children are to heal and thrive. The Mystery School is dedicated to providing the experiences and Initiations needed for women to not merely witness this necessary unfolding of consciousness for change, but to pave the way as leaders and visionaries to sustain the future for generations yet unborn.
And so, the question still remains for you to answer - are you willing to commit to "walk through the willow arch" in 2008, reclaim your feminine spirit, and forever carry the vibration of the Sacred Feminine, the One called Goddess by many different names? If so, join us for your Rites of Passage Training, Preparation and Initiation “e-Course” and discover for yourself your sacred sense of self and who you truly are!
* The Rite of Passage Ceremony is open to guests of Moonfire Meeting House, The Women’s Ways Mystery School and friends and family of Initiates who are participating in the “e-Course” next year.
