As we come towards the darkest part of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere, I felt called to write about my encounter with the Crone. I hope you like this poetic expression and I invite you to take your own journey to meet the Crone.
Today I come to you, Crone,
Today I enter the dark labyrinth,
Today I trust you Crone, to keep me safe in the night,
Today I accept the silence,
Today I willingly strip myself bare to meet you, to meet that part of me that is you, that part that invites me to stillness and darkness.
To face my inner world, my fears and my lacks, my guilts and my shames, my anger and sadness.
And just sit with them.
Sit with that part of me that feels small.
Sit with that part of me that feels less than.
Sit with that part of me that feels sad.
Sit with that part of me that feels tired.
Sit with that part of me that feels unfairly treated by the world.
And listen.
In this safe dark cave where we sit.
In the deep black part of the year.
In the light of a dark black night.
In the obscure labyrinth where I can sit with my shadows.
And hold them.
Hold and hug these parts of me that need healing and hugging and loving and listening.
So I do nothing.
I come to you, Crone.
And I thank you for your protection.
And sit in the mysterious darkness.
And allow for that darkness to be my healer.
Allow for the silence to speak to me.
Allow for the magic of the night.
While I let go of all my defences.
While I let go of all my armor.
While I let go of all shields.
While I let go of all protections.
And allow.
Allow the light of the night to heal me.
Allow for the stillness of the night to heal me.
Allow for the Crone in me to listen.
Allow for the Crone in me to let go.
Allow for the Crone in me to surrender.
There is no fighting anymore.
There is no hiding anymore.
There is no lying anymore.
I let go of all.
Naked in the darkness I hug myself.
Bare in the darkness I forgive myself.
Exposed in the darkness I heal myself.
And express my gratitude to you, Crone
And express my love to you, Crone
Soon, In the creative underground dark cave, I can begin again to dream new dreams, to plant new seeds of life.
For now, I sit in the dark.
For now, I lie in the dark.
For now, I surrender in the dark.
For now, I heal in the dark.
And I let silence talk.
And I let darkness shine.
And I let the Crone rule.
Crone, Dark Flame of courage burn my fears,
Repel the shadows of my past,
I let go, I let go, I let go, I release control
Crone, Dark Flame of courage burn my fears,
Cancel the anxiety of my past,
I let go, I let go, I let go, I release control
Crone, Dark Flame of courage burn my fears,
Delete the sadness of my past,
I let go, I let go, I let go, I release control
Dissolved is my past in the labyrinth,
Healed is my heart in the darkness,
Uncreated is my story in the black of night,
Renewed is my Soul in the Crone’s embrace.
So much for today ...
I would be so happy to hear from you about all that.
Thank you in advance for your comment.
See you soon, for my next online adventures!
Until then I send you love, light and gratitude.

PS: oh and ... its' the last call for Goddess Sunday with Artemis Free Event!
November 21st … is the sixth of a series of Goddess Sundays!
And YOU get invited to another Goddess Sunday …
You get to meet a different Goddess … and attune to her Archetype !
You get to take a whole day for yourself, for the Goddess in you !
Give yourself the gift of a day of self-care and self-love, in the comfort of your own home (or garden! or the nearest beach! or forest !)
In the morning, I’ll send you a PDF full of ideas, Fairies’ rituals, Music, Witches’ colors, Fun facts, Journaling prompts, Videos, Goddess secrets and Seasonal magic … and maybe more !
And suggestions on how to delight in your Goddess Sunday !
In the evening (7:30 pm UK time), we meet live on Zoom and after a cosy discussion and maybe some Goddess stories, we end the day with a powerful Goddess invocation, to call upon the Archetype’s energy into your life, anchor the vibration into your energetic body, and prepare you for a peaceful sleep.
The Zoom will be recorded and available as a replay for one week, so you can enjoy it when you’re available.
The fifth Goddess you get to meet is Artemis … on November 21st !
Do you feel lost and disconnected from your body ?
Do you experience longing for nature, for listening to birds singing in a forest while walking barefoot on the fallen leaves ?
Are you often sad and feel you're trapped in a life that's not yours ?
Are you often confused about your emotions ?
Would you love to feel connected to "something bigger" but have no clue where or how to begin ?
Do you feel there must be something more to life but forgot how to access it ?
I see you. THAT is when you need assistance from Artemis, Greek Goddess of the Wilderness and Love.
Assistance in listening to your inner wild woman and taking some time to walk the wild woman path, assistance in getting out and going back to basics, in letting yourself be wild every now and then and reconnecting with your instincts and the magic of nature.
Then this Goddess Sunday is the one you want, to let your inner wild woman thrive!
Meet Artemis, spend the day with her and experience how much strength and love she has available for you !
Goddess Sundays are free events !
You need to sign up though ! (even if you’re already on my list !)
Click on the link to jump on that special event list and get all the info asap!
