I love this Julie and thank you for these descriptions as I feel like Iām only now understanding them as I move into I think crone stage/wise woman. I feel like I am embodying my wisdom more and deepening my understanding of what it means to provide nurture for those on the path. So much healing has taken place, I know there is more to come. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I love Sharon Blackie, Iām just diving properly into If women rose rooted properly, which feels very timely. š«š
If Women Rose Rooted was the first book I read of hers. I have read it twice now. Glad you're diving in! Such a rich book! Regarding the archetypes, yes it is powerful to understand them. Helps to embody these times in life and to see the patriarchal paradigms that influence them. To learn to make new choices based on deeper feminine wisdoms. ā¤
I love this, Julie! I've previously only heard maiden, mother, and crone. I definitely feel like the fourth season is necessary and I love your reflection of each.
Thanks A.! Yes for a while it was just an empty space, then an archetype with no name, then it came together as the 'Wild Woman'. Feels fuller that way.
This is amazing, Julie! I love the term "eldering". That just feels so right. Just last week I hit the year one mark of no bleeding and I have never felt better physically. Like you, my hormones and I had some issues. I always felt that I was allergic to estrogen (which no one else believed) and was plagued with chronic migraines from age 12 until about 6 months ago. I am absolutely loving this phase of life! I also love the idea of the wild woman phase, which I think I blew right past without noticing. Thank you for bringing my attention to all of this! I'm going to sit in intentional contemplation with each of these archetypes and give them their due attention. š¤š
Thank you for this wonderful article Julie. I have just entered the Wise Woman/Crone phase.
My cycle has stopped - a grief and also a deep knowing that I have entered something sacred and wholesome. A coming DEEPER into WHO I AM with ALL THE GODDESSES within me in a more grounded way.
I have only just began to dive deeply into Sharon Blackie's work... what a wise woman she is!!

Hope you had (or still having) a wonderful trip!
Thank you! We just got home yesterday afternoon, and it was so wonderful - everything I hoped for and more. It's so sweet of you to remember!
