The Crone: Debunking the Myths - Jill chats with Martha Gelnaw

I invited Martha, a font of wisdom, back to Lady Time to debunk those old and terrible myths about the Crone. I remember in my younger years thinking of her as a horrible wizened old woman, not very nice and not something I ever wanted to become. That, however, is something the Crone is definitely not, and like much of a lot of history, the truth has been skewed and altered around her too. In reality the Crone is something to aspire to, as women move through mid life, menopause and beyond. Join me as Martha does a little bit of revisionism on the history of the Crone!  Jill x ..... Martha works with individuals as well as groups and you can contact her at the following: www.presence-impact.com Email: [email protected] ..... Links and notes Martha mentioned during our conversation:- 1. Martha highly recommends the following book: Sand Talk: How Indigenous Wisdom Will Save the World by Tyson Yunkaporta “We say seminal work. Seminal doesn’t sound like the right word to describe a female’s work. Ovarian? Yet, women have always kept the seeds, chosen the seeds. Sown the seeds .Seminal. Her work is seminal.”  Tyson Yunkaporta And here, Tyson consults a grandmother elder, Mumma Doris Shillingsworth for some useful knowledge:- https://presence-impact.com/2020/10/12/indigenous-knowledge-can-save-the-world-weve-got-it-backwards/ 2. She also recommends taking this 2-day online workshop for women with Nessa Gomes called Vocal Odyssey:- www.vocalodyssey.com 3.
