Embracing The Crone 12.19.21

Tyvm for this. Most if not all of this resonates very hard with me, as I've found my own practice taking a similar shape over the years of using my craft to take care of my mental health. Over the past few years, there hasn't been much shift in the attitude with which I approach my practise as there had been before coinciding with the rhythms of my mental illness. I do a lot of the same stuff I always have, but for example protection charms for my offspring or my nieces is approached less with an attitude of "this is the right thing to do, it's good for them, it's my duty as a parent/aunt/responsible adult in their lives" and more with an attitude of "doing this for them makes my life easier because if they feel safer I feel less stressed". It took me a while to learn that it's alright to approach things from that angle, though sometimes I still struggle with it. Tyvm. ❤

This brings back so many memories for me. Going through that transition (though I like calling it my transformation) was so painful yet beautiful in all the ways. I never felt closer to the divine feminine than during that time. The childhood trauma came back up for me too and that was hard, but it needed to happen to make me whole. I can't tell you how lovely this video is to me. This needs to be a topic of discussion. I went into it blind. I didn't know what to expect, and of course it's different for everyone but there are so many things I wish I would have been aware of before it happened. The body changes, mental shifts, and how deeply spiritual it was. It's not discussed much in our circles and yet it's the most powerful change ever! Now I have been fully a crone since 2016 and it's like my life began again. Cronedom is wonderful. Sweet surrender.

Yes, it would be lovely to have more discussions about the topic, but then we would be required to face our own mortality and I think that is a difficult thing for many of us to do. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. It is so comforting to know there are others in our community who understand.
