CRONE!

CRONE! An Old Craft Witch's Year is a rag-bag of memories, wise counsel, reflections, magic and nostalgia that make up a witch's year - especially one who's just stepped down as leader of a Coven and finds herself with a lot of time on her hands. Magically this is the best of times since there is nothing to prevent the Crone from doing what she likes, when, where and how - since her personal power is now greatly magnified. CRONE! might also provide food for thought for those Craft ladies of a certain age who need to step aside and let the next generation have their turn, because often we don't stop to think that the magical power of the group can diminish and stagnate through the lack of fresh energy. Hopefully, as far as the new Magister and Dame are concerned, I will be around for a long time to come, remaining in the background dispensing Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding so that they in turn can train their own successors for the future, while I return to my own chosen Path. In truth there's comes a time in life in Crafter's life when it becomes necessary to follow a different Path and see where it takes us. We leave the security of the Coven and set off on a solitary journey ... but as Aleister Crowley observed: What an adventure!
