Tarot of the Crone

The Crone is the ancient holy one. She is grandmother, witch and hag. She has been ignored, trivialized, blamed and feared, for she holds powers that others deny. Powers of time and transformation. Powers we may fear, but would do better to understand.

The Crone is the Mother of all Mothers. She knows all your bedtime stories, and all your worst nightmares. She has lived many years and many lives. Her feet know the paths of the Ancestors. Through her we can touch those who have gone before.

She has lived for love, for power, for grace. Now she lives for herself and her journey. She travels new roads and dares the unknown. She is ancient, but not always aged. She may be beautiful, but she's not pretty. She Who Has Gone Beyond goes beyond our idea of what a deity or a woman may be.

From Rachel Pollack ~ "Tarot of the Crone is vivid, exciting, and wholly original. The art and ideas are compelling, sometimes humorous, sometimes deeply emotional, but always fascinating."

From Mary K. Greer ~ "Tarot of the Crone is not for everyone. It is only for those who dare to learn directly from the Ancient Ones, for those who dare to brave a journey through power and nightmare, truth and shadow, fear and transformation to understanding."

From Sandra A. Thomson ~ "Tarot of the Crone is the Tarot equivalent of Clarissa Pinkola Estés's Women Who Run with the Wolves in its celebration and acknowledgment of the ancient feminine in all our lives."

From Diane Wilkes ~ "Each card individually is riveting and powerful, a sharp right jab that can bring you to your knees or lift you to the stars."

From Bonnie Cehovet ~ "It is a deck that takes one beyond where they have been, and transforms them into who they can be."
