Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 My understanding of "Crone"... comes from the Trinity of Maiden, Mother, Crone. The Crone woman that I know of and hope to be when I growup, if I live long enough... is into Wise Crone women Energy. Perhaps, this is the type of "Crone" that Todd is referring to?!

The dictionary I am using (dictionary.com) MUST be in error, for I cannot believe that such an educated and aware individual such as yourself would use this word to decribe mature women, or man, for that matter!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Beata, If you don't like Crone, perhaps you would prefer wise woman. I consider them synonymous. I like your definition Teresa. I read an eloquent passage which I thought was in Maciocia's gynecology book but am unable to find it now. It describes that because the blood is no longer lost during menstruation, the blood then fills ren mai and this is what attributes to a woman's wisdom after menopause. If anyone knows the exact quote or process, I would be grateful to know. Thanks, Colleen My understanding of " Crone " ... comes from the Trinity of Maiden, Mother, Crone.
