Introduction to Reclaim The Crone
History has not been kind to women. Especially mature and wise women. Those women Elders who help, support and heal their families and communities.
The spiritual trinity of Maiden, Mother and Crone has been bastardised by a malicious patriarchy to portray the Crone as ‘a cruel or ugly old woman’*, to be used as a derogatory and insulting term. These terms are used to belittle Elder women, to demonise us. Why? Because wise women are to be feared. Not because we are cruel, evil or ugly.
Because we are wise. We are truth tellers and we have no fear in telling our truth. Wise women Elders tell the truth for themselves, their families, their communities and for the global collective good.
And that is why we are feared. Because we put a mirror up to all the cronyism, inequality, corruption and lies in the world. We are fierce protection of the planet, the vulnerable and the values that create supportive, caring and compassionate communities.
In indigenous and ancient cultures, Elder wise women are celebrated and respected. Their counsel and guidance is sought to resolve problems. They care for their communities, smoothing out issues by dispensing healing words and feelings.
A Crone is often wrongly perceived as a childless woman, someone without love and who was never loved.
The reality is that a Crone may be a mother, grandmother even a great grandmother. She may have children or may not have children but still holds maternal status as an aunt, great aunt to children who may or may not share her DNA.
The divine timing has come to Reclaim The Crone. With a new definition of Crone:
“A Woman who has lived a rich and fulfilling life that has moved her beyond knowledge to wisdom. A Woman respected and revered for her wisdom, truth telling and her compassion and capacity to love. A Crone has a beautiful spirit that she shares with the world.”
