The Mystical Stranger
Margitt was once told by an Elder that what she does in a circle with the girls is like the Mystical Stranger, a figure from Native American folklore. Like an old woman living apart from the tribe, she serves as a guardian of ancient wisdom, holding sacred knowledge. Those in need of answers and support will find their way to her.
I am that mystical stranger that is doing just that.
Margitt is a nurse, mother, spiritual teacher and mentor to mothers and daughters in a program called A Girls Rites of Passage. She teaches and supports girls, their mothers and fathers through this important transition from girl to women.
As a young girl Margitt knew something in her life was missing. She grew up in a traditional household, had lots of family and friends but still felt lonely and was yearning for something. She was curious about this world and knew there was more and began to find the courage to look beyond the ordinary to find answers.
Margitt became an RN and became a mother shortly after. Her curiosity didn’t stop, and her kids would call her “a hippy in disguise”. They observed their mother taking classes and learning from many teachers practicing the next esoteric tradition from reiki, to shamanism, meditation, quantum physics and beyond.
When her daughter was born Margitt knew this was a game changer, immediately she was going to raise her differently than her family and what society was teaching her. Margitt didn’t want her daughter to ever feel alone. By prayer and intension, she was guided to a group of women that taught Margitt and her daughter ways of becoming a woman that rang true in her heart. Ancient teachings on womanhood, the Divine Feminine, menstruation and intuition helped Margitt remember who she was and how to celebrate her daughter in these special ways. With excitement and vigor Margitt immersed herself and her daughter in these ancient and unorthodox practices and ideas that led to a common language, a profound bond with her daughter that were unveiling the missing pieces in her life.
Margitt became obsessed with women and mothers, became a doula, certified in red tent circles and blood rite ceremonies. Later she began to share the wisdom and experiences she had collected and created a 6-week workshop for mothers, fathers and daughters. She teaches the girls about menstruation, self-care, spirituality, intuition and heart-based communication. She stresses to the girls they will never be alone and support mothers and fathers during this monumental transition with their daughter from child to women while they discover the special bond they know exists in their heart.
Mothering has been an opportunity to heal, and love beyond her known, and when her daughter left for college, the grief was so heavy Margitt began a YouTube channel to begin the conversation about the loss and joys of motherhood. Wisdom gained through the years provided trust and four years later an invitation came from her daughter to walk a pilgrimage across Spain proving to Margitt the work she had done to love and live in these mysterious feminine ways with her daughter keeps on birthing new opportunities to grow and connect deeper to her daughter and herself.
Margitt enjoys reading and spending time with friends and anytime she can with her 2 kids and husband. You may find her between Florida and Michigan or off the beaten path to a land that is calling.
Since that time, Margitt feels like she is continuously jumping off edges to expand. She allows this great life to lead her where it wants her to go. It has brought mountains and valleys, but it never has given her anything she can’t overcome. Amid it all, she has grown into a woman that she never knew she could ever be.
In the last 5 years, she has brought both parts of her education together. Using both her spiritual teachings and her formal education as an RN, she has been able to combine knowledge and wisdom and utilize them while leading women’s circles. She considers this to be one of the greatest joys in life; being able to teach young girls and their mothers about the great cycles of life. Over the past 7 years, she has performed over a dozen menarche ceremonies and learned from great teachers all over the world. Particularly, she notes her deep gratitude for the teachers that have shared their knowledge about the divine feminine in Michigan, Canada, Australia, France, Great Britain, and beyond!
