She put a message into a spoonful of honey for your morning tea and wondered if you noticed it. She also turned on the heat. Her bones are cold, her blood is thin, and she is gathering unto herself that which is hers. She is gathering in what remains to be seeded; she gathers in all. She gathers her animals into warm caves and drives her birds south to winter. She puts her bears to sleep until springtime and changes the coats on the backs of her cats, big and small. Her dogs are guiding her; they howl if danger approaches. Her faithful hounds, wolves, and foxes are exquisite singers of the night, the Crone's serenades. She says yes to life, and says yes to death. She is the first in line to go over to the other side. Her wisdom about herbs, life, and love,she passed this down to you. Did you get it? She put it in your racial memories, and in your dreams. Those are good places to store wisdom, preserved like jars of sweet jelly. She would appreciate it if you would use this wisdom. She herself received it this way. Its purpose is to strengthen her daughters and sons. What for ? To transform your realities, to hold onto happiness, to bond and dance and rejoice in the circle of rebirth. If you've resented your life, the burden of freedom, the chore of keeping body and soul together, your death will be just as unwelcome as your life has been. Death is not rest; it's hard work. You must pass over to the other side; do you know where that is ? There are no highways, there are no maps; you are on your own! She counts on your love of life to help you find the next life beyond this one. Only she is there to guide you. Yes, she is the Crone. She shall be waiting at the crossroads. You will know her by instinct and welcome her. She will guide you into the light once more, because you have been a good child of hers. She will reward you with deep peace and reincarnation, if you so desire. She wishes you to be happy......until we meet again.

This is a lot to grip. It's cool though that she's there to help. I'm guessing that this might be more than a story to you. DB |

Your prose is beautifully written Jenny and I liked the idea behind what you have said. The crone is very wise, yes. |
