Gateway to the Modern Crone

by Jude Downes

Overview

In a world that has likened aging to being a hag, a woman no longer relevant, the Crone is remembering that her presence and grace is vital in an often-jaded world. The Crone has a lot to offer. She is now the Keeper of the Wise Blood, the crowned one, the story keeper, the wise witch, the healer and more. She takes no nonsense, keeps a wise counsel until needed and calls a spade a spade. The Crone is sexy, feminine, vibrant, laughs loudly, loves deeply and has so much
to offer.

Embrace your sassy Crone! She is awake, she is vibrant and she is ready to be visible and respected.
