Goddess Circle Celebrates Crone
Author: Autumn Romero Source: Jack Central (AZ)
Title: GODDESS CIRCLE CELEBRATES CRONE
To most, Halloween is a time to dress up in costumes and celebrate the creepiest time of the year. To others, such as those who believe in Pagan spirituality, it is a sacred holiday representing the end of the harvest and the beginning of the New Year.
In Flagstaff, the Goddesses of the Cinder Moon congregate each third Wednesday of the month to celebrate a particular goddess of various representations. The Crone, which is a blanket name for any woman or goddess who is aged and wise, symbolizes “the end,” and was the focus of the gathering on Oct. 15.
“There are three phases to Wicca: maiden, mother and crone,” said Madrone, founder of the Goddesses of the Cinder Moon. “In the Western culture, we don’t pay a lot of respect towards the Crone. All the stereotypes of the Crone are the hag and the creepy old witch who’s going to feed you a poisonous apple. The Crone is demonized because she doesn’t serve the sexual or maternal interests of patriarchy.”

Very good article! And **snicker** DON"T tell my Mum that Cronehood represents "the end" - Today, the 2nd, is her birthday and at 74, she can still kick butt! LOL at 48 going on 49, I feel I'm too young yet for Cronehood. I guess age is more a state of mind!
Love to all
BTW we're all going to IHOP tonight!
