I prefer ‘the goddess years’ to ‘the crone years’ personally. The word crone sounds a bit boring, mean ugly and negative. And it rhymes with drone, alone, moan, stone. Whereas, for me, the phrase ‘The goddess years’ sounds strong, positive and even a bit magical. It doesn’t mean arrogance just powerful and generous. I also like to think of light shining all around my heart which seems to fit better with a kind of goddess!
I want to resurrect “crone” in its original meaning, and embrace it. I’m not a goddess or a Disney princess, nor do I want to be. I’m a crone: old, wise, and powerful.
“Crone” = wise woman. How did it become a slur?!
