I suppose if I were not a wiccan /witch the word crone would conjour up all manner of ugly , old women, with warts and snaggle teeth and green skin as well. But thankfully I do not subscribe to such utter nonsense. I am a woman just come into middle age and feeling wonderful about it. To acknowledge that I have attained crone status amongst my peers is an awesome feeling. This is the time in my life of changes, hopefully for the good. And we all know that the Crone is the bringer of changes. To be a crone is to be the bringer of many things. I feel more womanly than ever before. More in tune with my body and its needs and feelings. I am able to see life now through eyes more clearly focused. Last night I sang to my Goddess and felt so loved and cared for. as I look forward to my future and I am sure I have one....as my knee surgery get nearer, I feel that I can walk a little taller and see alot better and hopefully will become a more focused and intune witch and as I look at my son and see his children....young though they may be, I see myself replicated and know that all is right with the world and I have my place in it.

There is just one thing that makes me sad at this time. That it took losing my best friend and his counsel and care to come to the point where I could see outside and know there is hope for me. I can and will continue to banish negatives and therefore prosper.

I am who I am......Mother, Grandmother(a young one), witch, healer, Crone.

Dragonsinger, I see you're a Anne McCaffrey fan also. As I approach the end of my Mother phase, I find myself looking forward to my own Cronehood. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts.
