I had not known those aspects of the words crone and hag. I love word origins; I think many words have been hi-jacked, and I like to reclaim their origins. Thank you, Sherry, for this beautiful invitation to embrace ourselves as wise women and wise-women-in-becoming.
Thank you, Kyle! I love word origins as well. Love how you say “I like to reclaim their origins” especially when referring to women. A lot that was depicted as negative was actually our gifts and wisdom.
this comes at a very appropriate timing for me. Just this week I have been noticing far more grey hair on my head than usual. Those scraggly curly unruly sprouts of crown. Wowzer. Thank you!
