The Crone
Posted by: "lilith_storm@mail.com" lilith_storm@mail.com lilith_storm

The Crone
by Lilith Silverhair
The Dark Mother is the most misunderstood of the triple
aspects of the Goddess. Her color is Black and she absorbs everything, including
light and life. The dark of the Moon is Her time, the Abyss and darkness of
space Her home. Her number is nine, symbolizing wisdom and sacred magick. Nine
is also the number of completion and the completion of beginnings is the Crone's
place in the cycle of birth-life-death.
The greatest fear in Western Society is the fear of death and so many have
turned away from this face of our Mother. We see this in our fevered need for
eternal "youth and beauty" (as defined by society) and in the medical
community's fight against aging and death. Who among us had not had a friend or
family member kept "alive" on life support long after the soul has left the body
to resume its journey?
We also see this turning away in the way this country treats its elderly. At a
time of life in which a pe rson should be venerated for wisdom and knowledge they
could pass on to the young ones among us, the elderly are at best "taken care
of" (read: loss of privacy, dignity and freedom) or at worst completely ignored.
Advanced age should be a time to look forward to in our lives. We should be able
to look back and remember all that has happened to us with wisdom and good
humor. We should be given the chance to relax and rest and contemplate our lives
in preparation of a joyful reunion with the Dark Mother, come to take us into
Her starry womb once more. Instead because we don't build a comfortable
relationship with the Crone early in our lives, near the end all we feel is
frustration and fear.
How do we build a relationship with the Crone, this Dark Mother who upholds the
laws of life and death with a rigorous need for balance that may seem so many
times harsh to us? First we must realize that Death is not the only domain of the Crone. Endings of all sorts fall under Her sway, and endings always lead to
new beginnings.
You can get in touch with the Crone during many transitional periods in your
life; during the ending of relationships or jobs, when you need to regroup your
energies at the end of a project or problem, even when you are getting your
garden ready for the winter. The Dark Mother also covers trance states, spirit
communication, and prophecy. Menopause is also a time to learn about the Crone
aspect of the Goddess.
Crone magick is not all that different from Her other three aspects, one must
simply remember that the Crone is not a Goddess of birth, but of the harvesting
and resting of all life. One may use meditation, candle burning and other
general tools of magick to draw Her energies near. Her power may be called upon
with dark candles such as black, dark blues or deep purples. Another of Her
magickal domains is retributi on, but you must be certain that you are justified
in your need. Do not ask for revenge (remember the Law of Three!), do not be
specific in anything that you want done. Simply lay the problem before Her and
allow Her to decide whether or not there has been a true imbalance of justice.
At the Winter Solstice, you can burn white, red and black candles to be reminded
that everything is born, lives and dies to be born again.
In the end, all must confront the Dark Mother, willingly, or unwillingly. How
much better it would be to realize that She is not to be dreaded, a figure in
black come to take us away from all we know and love, but a loving Goddess come
to take us home so that we may rest and revive and begin our journey on the
Wheel of Life once more.

I am a 39 year old woman living in California's central valley. I am a self taught, solitary Wiccan practitioner, though I was lucky enough to find a good working group for about six months early on, so I've had a tiny bit of working with a group. I started studying Wicca about twelve years ago. Over the last five years or so, different time constraints started pulling at me. While my beliefs never changed I found myself falling out of the practice. At this point, I'm wanting to reconnect, and while I enjoy solitary practice I find being part of Pagan themed chat groups helps me fill the need to feel part of a greater whole.
