Hello Bellamy,

I am an Elder Witch.

I’ve been the Maiden, I’ve been the Mother, and now I am embracing my role as the Crone. It has been an interesting transition. What I love most of all, is that I have fully settled into who I am. I feel confident about my needs, desires, boundaries, and spirituality. To be blunt, it’s pretty freaking sweet.

I am writing to you because I feel the archetype of “Crone” is severely overlooked, not only in the witching community, but society overlooks the elder generations frequently. I was wondering if you could shed some light on the role and importance of Crones?

Episode Summary:

In this enlightening episode, Bellamy Black sits down with her 80-year-old best friend, lifelong spiritualist, herbalist, and founding member of the Intergalactic Hag Nation, Ruby Webber. Together, they explore the profound wisdom of the Crone archetype, a powerful figure representing wisdom, intuition, and inner knowing, deeply rooted in the collective unconscious. Known also as the Wise Woman, the Crone guides us through life’s transitions and fosters transformation. Ruby explains how this archetype embodies deep wisdom and intuition, guiding individuals through significant life changes and fostering personal growth and transformation.

Ruby and Bellamy highlight the invaluable contributions of elders, particularly in the metaphysical and feminist movements. They discuss how elders have paved the way for contemporary practitioners and the importance of honoring their legacy. The conversation turns to being unapologetically oneself. Ruby shares insights on embracing your true self without worrying about societal judgments, encouraging listeners to live authentically and confidently.

Ruby also offers a unique perspective on living in a society that often overlooks its elders. She discusses the challenges she faces and the importance of celebrating the wisdom that comes with age. Ruby and Bellamy emphasize the need to respect our elders, reach out to them for guidance, and avoid patronizing language like "young lady." They discuss creating a culture that values and learns from the experiences of older generations.

Tune in to this transformative episode as Ruby Webber and Bellamy Black guide you through embracing the Crone archetype and the timeless wisdom of our elders.
