The Cards You Are Dealt

Details: Category: Lisa Iris; Thursday, 03 May 2018

As Alice exclaimed to the Queen of Hearts, “You’re nothing but a pack of cards!” How accurately that describes the last few years of my life! This “pack of cards”, this amor fou, was imagined, championed, designed and refined into The Crystal Wind Oracle by Antonio DeLiberato of Crystal Wind.ca (link to website) and Creative Inceptions. (link to website) My gratitude is boundless. Being part of this project, over the years, was like discovering a crystal fountain in a garden and drinking the waters there. This luminous cup of inspiration is passed on to you.

Rethinking The Triple Goddess
By Summerstorm (Lisa Iris)

Am I alone or are there pagans “of a certain age” who find the term Crone absurd and demeaning? Is a tripartite definition of the Eternal Feminine too simplistic? Is the transition from Mother to Crone too abrupt? Is there something (like life) in between?

Who’s making this stuff up?!

The Crone Conundrum

I respect the Crone as a symbol for wisdom and the fruition of life’s journey. The publications, ceremonies and websites that celebrate the Crone are inspiring, but call me a crone if you want a black eye! How can I identify with a negative stereotype that persists, regardless of our efforts to reclaim it?
