I’ve been wandering the internet searching for Crone images. It’s pretty grim. I feel like I’ve stumbled into an online Halloween store. I see myself in the mirror and look at my Crone sisters and this is just not who I see. Yes, we have wrinkles and perhaps some grey hair. But the general countenance we emanate is one of a grace that comes with decades of accumulated experience. Clear eyed in the agency of our own counsel. Beautiful.

Of course there is historical and patriarchal precedence for those fierce, angry, warty images. This portrayal is much embedded in our collective consciousness. But not mine. And probably not yours. So the images I include, artistically attributed when I’m able, will be selected to mirror our true nature. Like this image.

I see you
my sister

The wisdom of the ages
Shines a grace
On your beautiful face

For this is how I see us. Strong, powerful, beautiful, considered, compassionate and cosmically connected. Wise. Look in the mirror. She is there.

Blessings of Crone Wisdom,
Judith
