Re: Crone. When I started Crone Chronicles: A Journal of Conscious Aging, I picked that term precisely because it carries such an aura of taboo. Which to me, means it holds a lot of charge. Though the term is vilified in the dictionary,let us remember it is a patriarchal compilation! (The dictionary definition I remember is “an old ewe with no teeth in her.”) Searching duck duck go for the etymology, I came up with the second meaning, beyond the old hag:”A woman who is venerated for experience, judgment, wisdom.”

The word matriarch, to me, implies a family of which the woman is the esteemed head. But many older women don’t have families, so there’s no place where they would be considered matriarch. In my own sibling family, I AM considered “matriarch,”(being the oldest). So though I also love the alliteration, to me, “matriarch” cuts out a great swath of older women who are conscious, who process and integrate their experience, and who live, and some prefer to live, very much alone. The word hag, by the way, refers to a holy woman, as in “hagiography.” Anyway, great question!

Thanks so much for enlightening me on OTTAWA! And thanks for the tip on Metis.
The next time you have trouble accessing this site, let me know and I’ll get the wordpress techies to work on it. If there’s some kind of notice, then screenshot it to send to me also. THANK YOU for your ongoing affirmation of this near-daily blog.

“The origin of the name “Ottawa” is derived from the Algonquin word adawe, meaning “to trade”. The word refers to the indigenous peoples who used the river to trade, hunt, fish, camp, harvest plants, ceremonies, and for other traditional uses. The first maps made of the area started to name the major river after these peoples.”

And that major river is the Ottawa River, which runs behind the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, and which river I was raised on and though I’ve moved away from it, I visit when I can from British Columbia. That river always brings me comfort and peace and lovely memories.

The lady who is a co-organizer of the Freedom Convoy is Metis. You might like to watch the Freedom Convey press conference on Rumble. You’ll see the divine masculine/divine feminine as they are meant to be.

And it was an MSM lie that Go Fund Me is not releasing funds as they are requested by the Freedom Convoy folks in charge of those funds, and Trudeau is not Canadian… well, I don’t know if he’s not Canadian, but he sure isn’t compared to the rest of us!!!!

In the press conference, it was said that the biggest financial contributors from Europe are from East Germany because they don’t want to see Canada go the way of the Berlin Wall.

I read your posts all the time, though lately I’ve had trouble getting onto your website, but then I’m not surprised as you are one supportive lady! Thank you! Love, B.

Thanks for letting me know about the glitch in yesterday’s post. Weird!

For me, the Berlin Wall was huge, since I was closely focused on geopolitical events back then as well, especially the nuclear standoff with the Soviet Union. So I took that drama personally, just as much as I take this one personally!

I so appreciate knowing about this 30 year cycle and how it lines up astrologically. Thanks for explaining it so well.

Your post yesterday didn’t show up for me. I tried refreshing the page, but nothing came up for yesterday. And I just tried to comment on that post, and comments aren’t an option. Maybe we were meant to read that post today ;).
