Loving this!

The Crone is a woman who no longer menstruates physically, she is now a fully embodied wise woman. With many moons behind her and the experience she has acquired, she can now turn her attention to being a guide for the young. Being free in her body- no longer worried about pregnancy, pretense or deep fluctuations in hormones, she has come to a serene place of acceptance...an embodied dance with the rhythm of life.

I have been guided by grandmothers with silver hair as magnificent as the moonlight for a very long time in my dreams, it has helped me develop a keen appreciation for the Crone, it has allowed me to see aging as an exquisite and delicate gift. It has helped me make healthy choices in the now and embrace with subtle anticipation the day when I too will be a grandmother to the children of our world.

In ancient times and cultures, the Crone was revered. The Crone was consulted for matters of importance and well being of tribes. Children and grown alike would come for advice and storytelling to the skirts of the Crone. The gray hair was looked at as stripes of honor and the wrinkles as badges of courage and experience. When a woman’s blood flow would stop coming it was said she no longer needed it, as she had accumulated the wisdom of the seasons and cycles enough to embody it and inhabit it. These wise women understood the importance of death and renewal at such a cellular level they no longer needed to be reminded every month.

In today's culture, the Crone is in great danger of being forgotten. In a society where faster, better, younger is the theme and is tattooed into our consciousness every day, elders are very often overlooked and seen as nuisance, annoying, slow, their beauty is smudged over and often shoved into care homes or a bedroom in the house, Google has now usurped the throne of the wise one. We see Maiden archetype everywhere- the endless pursuit of youth. From a multibillion dollar market of beauty products to the movie screens...everyone wants to be young, plump and fresh. We see the Mother archetype- the caring loving mother and as Lara Owen mentions in her book, although limited- it is even revered in religion. But the Crone, where is she?

She is a hidden, she is stashed away. All that power hidden in her belly and nowhere to go. She has been pushed to abhor her post menopausal state, as though it is a condemnation rather than a blessing, as if not being able to birth children is now a curse that spills inward into a barren womb. All that wisdom rejected, unacknowledged, dishonored in exchange for the pursuit of staying young and ‘fertile,’ only to be ridiculed and mocked by a society that in a paradoxical cruel joke repudiates the Crone that clings to this 'youth' as well.

No, the Crone cannot expect to be accepted without first accepting herself, knowing that her bones are indeed each day becoming more and more one with the earth. The Crone cannot demand a place in a society in which she has helped exile this archetype. This is why we need to speak of Her, the Crone- the holy guide that lives and will one day emerge from within your bones and when she does, you will have a choice: will you let her in and feast on the banquet of your holy life experience, or will you shut the door in her face and leave her out to starve in hopes that the maiden and mother, whom have taken a backseat, will someday come back.

Many times I have wanted to write about the Crone, even create offerings for her, but I am held back by the misleading belief that I have to be one to speak of her. No more, my sleeping crone has whispered, ‘you must begin to pave the way for my visit, planting seeds along the path that may bloom for my homecoming.’

Resting and gestating in me, she is harnessing strength to come and live fully, to guide, to teach, to dance, to remind, to slow me down, to make me softer, to be reflected on my skin and in my gaze when the time comes.

In the meantime, I will speak of the Crone to our children and to anyone that will hear- I will honor the magnificently wise women I am surrounded by, sisters hiding their lines and beauty behind veils. I will remind them, I will whisper, I will nudge, I will declare "Take off your veil! You are holy sacred wise woman, you are here, you have a message… now is your time to speak."

I wish you heal from what you don't tell anyone, from those pains you endure in silence,
from tears that stream down your face before you sleep.
I wish you heal from your fears, fears and insecurities. The uncertainties that life gave you one day and that you face every day when you get out of bed and move on.
I wish you would heal, from those wounds, wounds and disappointments, that you silenced, about which you never complained, but still feel deep within you.
I wish you heal from the past that is still with you in the emotional scars you carry without complaining.
May he heal from the apologies they never gave him,
from the appreciation you did not receive, from the thanks you did not give, from the fair recognition they did not offer, from all the times you deserved to receive the best and it did not come to you.
I wish you would heal from these pains that you swallowed, silenced, threw into.
I wish you recover from all the times you said you were "fine" when it really wasn't. Sometimes you swallowed your cry, anger, sadness, disappointment and smiled, so the world can't see your pain,
or so your smile could make someone happy.
I hope you heal from the sacrifices you had to make, the indifference you received, the burdens you endured.
May you heal from the moments when you felt alone and believed that no one saw your wounds or recognized your actions.
Believe life sees life corresponds healthy life. Healing can be slow, quiet, sometimes difficult and cannot be done alone. But it happens!
Healing is a process.
Just like many cause wounds to you
what you bear in silence, others help heal wounds without you noticing.
I wish you to heal: from all you say, all you don't say and all you need!

"To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be.

The people they're too exhausted to be any longer.
The people they don't recognize inside themselves anymore.
The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into.
We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost.

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be.
It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way.
Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame.
Sometimes it will be a flicker that disappears and temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness." Heidi Priebe

🌾When was the last time you cleaned your house?
Not with dust rags and mops but with intention, sage, palo Santo (or some other burning herb), or a spray if you don’t like smoke, and lots of love and support of your Angels 👼
Perhaps the time has come for a deep cleansing before fall arrives.
Start to shed the summer energy and begin the preparation in your home for the exuberance that fall brings 🤎🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
