THE CRONE
You may find much more information about this - and all of Father's Teachings - in the books in the AwareHouse - on your right
A Crone is an older woman – who has been crowned with the Wisdom
of the ages. She always remains the youth, the maiden and the mother
. . . as well as crone. The secret hidden in this great mystery is
that the first three stages of a woman's life bestow the power to create
the kind of crone that she could become !
Modern Man has lost sight of the MATRIARCHAL SOCIETY – in which the Mother,
or female elder, was the literal and Spiritual Head of the Family or Tribe.
The terms and images that define Crone today have come down through a male-dominated
Patriarchal Society. In days gone by, Cronehood meant Women of age, wisdom
and power . . . the wise Elder Woman. The Crone led the way to the balance,
peace and understanding . . . as well as the preparation for Death, which led
to the understanding of “Rebirth” for the tribe.
These Crones were revered . . . because they were grounded in the Wisdom and
Love and because they understood the cyclical essence of Nature. They
had harvested the experience of many cycles and would pass their Wisdom
on to the tribe. They were the caretakers, a SACRED TRUST !
As consciousness shifted and the Matriarchs were challenged by the men,
the power shifted and slowly the men gained control of the Temple . . . and
then the home. This power was won by genocide. Witch burnings
and giving the women no rights . . . even owning women as property, became
the accepted norm. That has been balanced to some degree as the consciousness
of Mankind swings wildly . . . now heading in the direction of Wisdom again. In
today’s world the media and advertising industries still harbor some
of the old mores . . . in their use of women as sex objects and by thriving
on people’s fear of being old, ugly and unimportant.
The Patriarchal cycle – with its wars, unrest, imbalance of nature and
relationships – is finally drawing to a end. Through a re-awakening
of consciousness . . . THE GODDESS IS RETURNING !
The feminine
principle is flowing into every nook of consciousness.
We are slowly becoming a more compassionate and wise society. Finally
we are becoming more aware of ourselves, learning how to heal our dysfunctions
and our wounds and finally beginning to shine some Light back into the shadows.
Croneship is a “Rite of Passage” (usually associated with the change
of life, menopause). “MENO” means a “Rite of bringing
back into being our own life”, coming from “MENSES”, which
means the rite of bringing into being other lives. The other Rite of
Passage of a woman is puberty.
