Music
Enter the Light, by Illumine. I love the song Star on this CD (for me it is not much about the words, but the beat—Crones have energy!). Two albums I like that have a more traditional Crone feel are: Aramaic Sound Pilgrimage: Holy Wanderings in the Ecstatic, by Jahanara Laura Mangus Refuge, by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors
Poems Everything lost is found again, in a new form, in a new way; Everything hurt is healed again, In a new time, in a new day. Change is, touch is, touch is, change is. Change us, touch us, touch us, change us. by Lauren Liebling, Starhawk This is an excerpt from a longer poem entitled Kore Chant. The Kore is the maiden aspect of the Divine Feminine. The Crone, of course, has that aspect within her. Read the full poem at http://www.ladybridget.com/mp/chants.html
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep.
