Hagitude
A woman's journey through midlife and beyondstories are spells; they change things
A book, a course and a podcast
The content on this website – a book, a self-study course, and a series of conversations with remarkable women to help you reimagine the second half of your life – is offered by psychologist and mythologist Dr Sharon Blackie, author of the bestselling If Women Rose Rooted, and of Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life; The Enchanted Life: Reclaiming the Magic and Wisdom of the Natural World; Foxfire, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shapeshifting Women and The Long Delirious Burning Blue.
Our story begins with the bone-deep metamorphosis that begins as we approach midlife, in the years leading up to menopause. As we slowly begin to burn away old identities and outdated structures, we enter a state of conscious incubation in which a new life can be dreamed into being.
Hagitude course
The Inner Hag whose image we each carry within us reflects our own unique variety of wisdom, the gift that each of us has to offer this breaking and broken world, and our own particular brand of connection to the numinous.

dreaming ourselves into being
The course: dreaming a new story
Menopause is a time between stories, when the old story fades and a new story is waiting to emerge: the ultimate revelation of who we truly are and always were meant to be. It’s a liminal time, when we hover on the brink of the profound transformation which ultimately leads to elderhood, and contemplate the work of gaining new perspectives on our life, of challenging and evolving our belief systems, of exploring our calling, of uncovering meaning, and ultimately finding healing for a lifetime’s accumulation of wounds.
Join me on the great adventure of reimagining your journey through midlife, and into the second half of life.
‘It is the grandmothers in our oldest European myths and stories who define and shape the ongoing story of the world.’
it’s stories that will save us, in the end
