Cronnie Wisdom
Crone is "a phase in which you can be more authentic, more capable of making a difference in your family and in the greater world. Life gives you experience, and when you draw from it, that's true wisdom. By the time a woman is in her crone years, she is in an amazing position to be an influence. To change things for the better, to bring what she knows into a situation, to be able to say, 'Enough is enough.' You don't have to just go along with things, which is often a part of the middle years. You're often something of a loose cannon."

Wise Crone Cottage Podcast #2
In this episode, Kathy tells the story of “Frau Holle,” a German
folktale, recorded by the Brothers Grimm. We explore the relationship
between its young and old characters - especially the role the wise
crone plays in the initiation of the young woman. We also look at the
symbolism found within this story to see what it has to offer from a
psychological perspective. Finally we discover what Frau Holle can
teach us about living today as an elder today.
