My excruciating, enchanted journey with beauty

My excruciating, enchanted journey with beauty

Last week for the very first time, I spoke about beauty in the way I’ve been holding back on for years (really, decades).

I recorded this episode on the topic last week live in the Be Mythical Facebook group with our members (thank you all SO much for being with me and for sharing yourselves as you did).

I had a rare experience of stage fright before we began, along with several technical challenges.

Then magically, as soon as we began, I felt in flow, feeling the hearts of the women present and allowing the Mythic Beauty Archetypes to speak through me.

But then afterwards I felt very strange, kind of out of body, and completely unsure how it went.

It was only knowing that the women present shared such deep insights and experiences of their Beauty Wounds and their Mythic Beauty, reminded me that we must have woven something truly meaningful together.

I’ve only this morning been able to bring myself to watch it back and realised in doing so, how perfect and poignant the whole experience was - before, during, and after - and how my own mythic beauty, especially that of the Mystic Lover, was molten down and then forged stronger in the heart of that many-hued fire of fear, fullness, and forgetting.

I used to feel like I didn’t belong in this world or in this age… too sensitive, too dreamy, too open, too otherworldly, lost in ancient ideas, caught up in stories of dragons, queens, and crows who can talk, wearing a long flowing dress when the weather or activity is calling for sensible waterproofs, my face buried in a book, an oak, an old rose or my dog’s velvet fur, the love child of the Lady of the Lake and Merlin… too much and not enough… all at once.

That’s only changed as I have allowed who I am and how I look to become medicine, my very own beauty potion, first for me and then for the world.

Which has now finally brought me to share this Mythic Beauty work with other women, showing them how in alchemising their Beauty Wound and uniting their inner and outer beauty, they can become whole.

We begin Beauty Potion very soon… If everything I journeyed with in making this episode is anything to go by, it seems like it might be quite the mythical ride for me too… And I’m here for it!

There’s a couple of places left if you’re here for it too.

All my love,

Li ♥️
