FROM MOTHER TO CRONE


This is a wonderful time of celebration!!
A rite of passage that we all,as women,hope to someday achieve.
The transition from mother to crone is a time of many changes.
Not only of body,but of mind and spirit as well.
While our body changes are directly related to the
decline of hormone levels,our mind and spirit changes
are related to experience,wisdom and maturity.

This transitional period in our lives varies in each woman,
depending on several things.

Good general physical health,and a sense of emotional
well being are a couple of things that will help the croning years easier to deal with.

As a crone, your time has come to share the knowledge and wisdom of your years.
You will be called upon more frequently to help the seeker or cowan.
You will be respected by those that look upon you as
"The Wise One".
Now is YOUR time...You've earned it
..Enjoy it...You are a Crone!!!

Blessed Be!!
