The ultimate beginner

Maiden energy, and learning to trust ourselves deeply…

“How do we become who we are in the world? We ask the world to teach us. But we have to ask with an open heart, with no idea of what the answer will be.” (Pam Houston)

Maiden is the epitome of openness and possibility. Her hour is the morning and her season is spring. She is the inhale, the new moon, the hope at the beginning. She symbolises growth, becoming, blossoming. She is unburdened by fear, limitation, life. She is learning, curiosity, the ultimate beginner, the explorer, the rebel.

She believes deeply in herself, she puts herself first always. She is an invitation to step out of the idea that anyone else completes you – and to reimagine your own self-completion. She is closely linked with virgin energy - the word ‘virgin’ comes from the Greek word, which means ‘one unto herself’.

She follows her inner drive to what she wants. She is joy, life, beginnings, inner self-love, a seed of possibility. She is able to exist deeply in the moment, finding magic and contentment all around her.

“It is perhaps the maiden who exerts the strongest influence over the arc of your life because you carry her lived experience within you….and so your relationship with your Inner Maiden may impact your mental health as an adult, how well you forge and sustain relationships, your capacity for emotional resilience and the realisation of your soul’s path in life.”(Stella Tomlinson)
