The Grandmother Crone

In archetypes and mythology the female psyche is described as one of three–The daughter, the mother, and the crone or grandmother. In our society, we often overlook this very important archetype. She is the guide that leads us home. She is the wise that directs us through life’s hardest challenge (both conscious and unconscious). The Crone is the last stage of our physical life, the grandmother goddess, the experience of a life well lived. Of all the archetypes, she has the most to teach us.
