Crone. Hag. Witch. To modern pagans and wiccans, these are honorifics, not insults. A pagan woman spends her whole lifetime becoming a crone, and by Goddess, she deserves a ritual worthy of that investment! I’ve been planning my Croning for nineteen years, which is all the more amusing considering that I’m only forty-five. Of course, …
