Stephanie, this is such a lovely description of how we can tune into myth as a living fiber weaving our own stories, ourselves as part of the natural world, and our ancestors. I'm still in the motherhood phase with a near-teenager, but as an "old" mom, I see hints of my crone self in the distance. I actually really look forward to that phase, but I'm inviting myself to be more curious about how to use the myths of motherhood to learn to love the phase I'm in. Thank you for sharing what you've been learning on your journey so that the rest of us can grow from your wisdom. Cheers to the Enchanted Crone!

Hi Stephanie

I love this and you painted stones for your siblings, that you carry them around with you sometimes and feel them in your hands. How powerful such a good idea I have a friend who told me about a mutual friend of ours in England, passed away recently, and they painted her casket , of course it was wooden but what a beautiful ritual. I wish I could’ve been there.

As you know, my current myth is Medusa. I find it to be incredibly powerful. In fact, I found a novel called “stone Blind” the author whose name and forgetting right now humanizes her and family with her sisters who are immortal. It’s fantastic and bringing so much more of Medusa is to me to life.

Thank you very much for this.

I’m glad you’re getting so much out of your course.

🌹
