There is another passage known to the wise,
not bound to age or season, but stirred from within.
The Three Mothers favor those who heed this quiet call—
the call to shed, shift, and begin again.

This is the Cycle of Renewal:
when a person feels the shape of their life must change,
not in haste, but in truth—when the old way no longer fits.
Some hear it as restlessness, or weariness without cause.
Others feel it as longing—for difference, for depth, for air.

The Mothers may whisper through discomfort,
or nudge gently with dreams of other paths.
When the time is right, let the turning be done with grace—
honoring what came before, and who walked beside you.
The leaving is not rejection, but return to flow.

Let the community bear witness, not judgment.
Respect the movement, as written in the Book of Circles.
Support the one who renews, even if their path now turns away.

The Mothers are never angered when the moment is not taken.
Not all transformations are meant to bloom at once.
But when one steps through the gate of reinvention,
the Mothers grant quiet gifts:
a clearer spirit,
a steadier heart,
and a strength that springs from deep renewal.

Explanation

There are times when a person feels the need to change their life. This might come as tiredness with the old way, or a strong pull toward something new. This is called a Cycle of Renewal. If the person decides to begin again, they should leave the old life with respect. The community should honor and support the change. The Three Mothers may gently signal when it’s time. They are not upset if it doesn’t happen. But when it does, they reward the choice with fresh strength, insight, and peace.
