Sunday, December 6th, The Church of Crones celebrates our One Year Anniversary of First Sunday Gatherings. We will be honoring this milestone by hosting our first Croning Ceremony!
Crone - according to Webster, an ugly old hag.
(patriarchal conceptualuzation)
According to belief systems far older than Christianity; the Crone is the symbol of unapologetic truth and wisdom. A guide to transition/growth. An Oracle of the Ultimate Divine Feminine. The Pentacular Matriarch
In practical terms; what qualifies a woman as a Crone, is having passed through Menopause. (the absence of a uterus does not mean that one has been through menopause) In Western Medicine, most male doctors would tell you that a hysterectomy will launch you into menopause at any age. This is actually incorrect. Though you will certainly suffer hormonal changes, you will still, around the age of 50, experience menopause. It may have a lessened effect due to the fact that you've been without a uterus for a while but it will still occur. This hormonal change is paramount to the transition into Crone. No amount of life experience can replace it.
The effects of Menopause on Brain Chemistry: After menopause, your brain chemistry stabilizes at a new, steady baseline, freeing you from the disruptive hormone fluctuations of your reproductive years.
First, your brain builds new neural pathways to process energy more efficiently, which clears up the temporary brain fog and restores your sharp focus. Then, without monthly estrogen and progesterone swings, your serotonin and GABA levels even out, leading to much steadier moods and deeper emotional resilience. Finally, your brain's stress response often becomes less reactive, helping you feel calmer and more grounded in your day-to-day life.
A Croning Ceremony is a celebration of a woman's entrance to this phase of her life. This is when she becomes an elder in the community and it should be celebrated. For our purposes, a simple pageant, like a graduation 🎓. A procession to receive a Crone Crown and a welcome from the community.
If you are interested in being Celebrated as a Crone, please mark yourself as going (we want to have enough crowns) 😉
