Crone
by Jo Pettit

I am the Goddess Hecate,
Crone Goddess of Wisdom and Death.
I live within you.

When you listen to that small, clear voice,
you are Wise, you are Crone.

Blood ceases, Wisdom grows.
Compassion is an expression of Wisdom,
although it's not always nice.

This is not a time for womyn to be nice!
Womyn have been nice, quiet and afraid, for thousands of years and look what it's gotten us!
The world is in a desperate state.
Patriarchy is killing our precious Mother and, with Her,
-- our Selves!
our Children, our Beauty, our Love.
It's time to take back our Power and claim it as our Own!
It's time to speak our Truth!
(It's time for you to speak Your Truth!)
Quit pussy-footing around and change things - NOW!
Nice little girls seldom make anything happen
But irascible old Hags can really shake things up!

So, embrace me, open to me.

Re-member your Selves by remembering Me!

I am Hecate - the Crone,
the Hag, the Keeper of the
Crossroads.

I am You!
