 crone ~ wise woman ~ elder
At the time of menopause,
the pause of the flow of the menses, the Sacred Blood of Wisdom
is finally retained inside the body and the woman herself
can partake of its Wisdom. At this time, in older societies, she
becomes known as crone or hag, words whose original meaning is 'wise
one', revered elder of the circle.
We have lost our respect for the wisdom and understanding of age.
yOni would like to contribute to re-establishing a reverence
and appreciation for the elders in our society and to learn from
these wise ones.
