Hear Ye the words of the
Crone, the dark goddess eternal, who has been called Cerridwen, Hecate, Inari,
Morrigan, Kali, Grandmother, Wise Woman and by many other names:
Come my children through the
dark of night and seek me. Though my face be shrouded in the veil of the new
moon, my power wanes not. I am the wise woman, who guides you through your
hardships and strife, the great midwife of your transformation.
Though you may face your
greatest terrors, fear me not, for I bring you that which you need- for I am
the source of knowledge eternal and the keeper of all secrets. And these be my
gifts unto thee: strength and courage, wisdom through experience, and the
excitement and freedom of lessons learned.
Seek these within thyself and
there you shall find me also. Surrender your fear and ignorance- with my
shining sickle I shall cut them away. Then shall you learn compassion and love
and find completion of spirit. I wait for you to call to me to reveal the
lessons within thyself- for behold! I am the balance of the scales of light and
dark, the interim of life and death. From me all things dance forth and it is I
who awaits you at the end of the spiral!
It probably needs a little more work, but I am quite happy with what I was able to do. It makes me feel wonderful to be finally connecting to this aspect of the Goddess, because she is possibly the most misunderstood and the most feared of all her aspects. To me, she has always seemed beautiful, and very open and welcoming. Maybe growing up with a house full of strong women has caused me to be less afraid of them, and more admiring. I like a woman who can take charge, who has great mystery and power within her. Having been forced to face the darker aspects of myself, having grown the way I have as a woman and as a witch, I suppose it is no shock to me that I identify with the Crone aspect more than others.
I feel very blessed to have been able to have written something that I feel is a lasting tribute to one of the mot beautiful parts of my beliefs.
I hope you enjoyed it.
