Crone
Artist: Sadhana
Location: Washington

I am one who represents the wisdom of old age and death.
I am one who knows who I am and who you are.
I am one who has been around a long, long time.
I am one who looks sharply and sees the truth.
I am one who guards the wisdom of ancient rituals and sacred places.
I am one who brings messages from the spirit world.
I am one whose bones are showing.
I am one who belongs to winter.
I give you wisdom.
I give you freedom from sentimentality and attachment.
I want you to pay attention.
I want you to remember that winter is coming.
I want you to cherish your history and your memories.
I want you to honor and consult the old ones in your life.

Wise Crone
Artist: Jenny
Location: Massachusetts

I am the one who is happy with who I turned out to be.
I am the one pleased to be alone with her plants and thoughts.
I am the one who uses the Earth wisely, and for every purpose she can; art, cooking, healing.

I give you permission to be you.
I give you the path to freedom in knowledge.
I give you the wonderment of creativity in natures bounty.

I want you to love yourself.
I want negative thoughts to begin to be fruitless, I only bear wonderful blooming colors.
I want you to forget about what others think about you. Do for yourself, and give to those who truly appreciate your help.
I want you to not dwell on the past, but remember.
I want you to not worry about the future, but dream.

You will remember when you see a sunset, a beautiful flower, an acorn with its funny hat.
You will remember when you spot a crow, a deer, a squirrel, a turkey.
You will remember when you listen to the sounds of nature around you.

Crone
Artist: Sharry
Location: Oregon

I am the one walking the Beauty road, carrying Beauty,
breathing in Beauty.
I am the one who doesn’t need to hurry and doesn’t waste any time
I am the one who knows where this road leads: into Mystery.
