My Inner Crone
Goddess makes Her presence known in me as my Inner Crone when She nudges my memory, encourages my voice to speak out and my soul to dance in the Now. She is within you too. Crone’s wisdom is needed now more than ever, as Mother Earth enters Her own winter, a time of fragility and death of all that is familiar. This crone-body of mine emerges at a time when culture tells us that signs of ‘old age’ are to be feared and aging minds are feeble. But just as our inner child’s wounds need healing so does our inner crone need honouring by embracing Her old age, not denying Her presence. She grows in wisdom and power as we age. Cherishing our own aging process will let us journey forward, each as an integrated whole, healing the crone’s pain, both from the past and today’s depictions. However old we are, we own crone energy and must use it wisely as we journey through these times
