Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom

Wisdom. Sometimes it arrives like rolling thunder in a storm. Sometimes it arrives, to borrow the words of mystic Hildegard Von Bingen, like a feather on the breath of God. It rarely arrives as a consequence of longing for it. It has its own agency. 

Wisdom finds us when we set an intention of hospitality and set the welcoming conditions of gracious space. A precious gift, ours to honour and cherish. We gather wisdom in the days and decades of our lives and indeed some, the old souls, arrive in this life with a deep and ancient knowing. 

Women of all ages can be wise yet within the many textures of wisdom, there is wisdom that only comes through accumulated experience. Within wisdom’s tapestry, the vibrant thread of Crone wisdom is a weaving of this experience. Decades of experience. And there is no substitute for it, no amount of aspiration will accelerate the arrival of Crone wisdom. Crone wisdom has its own agency. 

Crone wisdom calls us to be patient, for there is wisdom in patience. It calls us to cherish the wisdom we hold as a solid foundation for it. It calls us to root deeply in the wisdom of maiden and mother in preparation for its arrival and breathe into the knowing that it will find us in right time. It has its own agency.

Blessings of Crone Wisdom,
Judith
