Croning Ritual

There were 27 women who named themselves either maids warrior/mothers or crones in a ceremony that honored the power of women of all ages.

The Crone, the hag, the wild wicked witch is also the knower of mysteries, wintertime-aged medicine woman, the fairy godmother, and dark moon aspect of the Three-Fold Goddess. She is the mythmaker who has come into her wisdom and is ready for the role of elder. The Croning Ritual acknowledges and celebrates this often denigrated phase of women's adventure. Maidens, Mothers and Crones alike are invited to join in songs, poetry and stories in the Neo-Pagan participatory format of the Women's Spirituality Movement as we honor the cycle of life and claim our spiritual power.
