what has been shown to me by the Dark Mother are
wonders that I could never have imagined. For this I am forever
grateful.
Knowing that with age comes wisdom, magic takes on a whole new
energy for me. Working with Crone Magic is scary for some because
Her moon is the Dark Moon. The unknown, the void from which all
things are created. This is not a moon for the faint of heart but
for those that know and understand what the darkness represents
and are not afraid to use it, to identify with it, to enjoy it
and gain power from it.
Here are a few insights that will help to make your Crone Magic
powerful. The Dark Moon is also known as the waning crescent moon.
It is related to the Sabbat of Samhain, which many call Halloween.
In the womb of darkness, the moon rests for three and one half
days. This is a time for going deep within, understanding, gaining
knowledge of self… the passion that courses through your
blood, guiding these emotions to work in a most positive way. The
Dark Moon is excellent for deep meditation. During this time she
is gathering information and laying the foundation for new ideas
to take hold. This is a time to perform spells for prophecy, cursing
or chaos. Always remember “Do what ye will but harm none.” The
Dark Moon energy is one of great power for any and all magical
work. Justice can be sought during this moon time.
Black is the main color of Crone Magic. It is the absence of color,
yet encompasses all colors. Black represents protection and transformation.
It dispels negative energy quickly. Black is very good for banishing
spells. It represents the Divine Feminine, night, the universe,
and lack of falsehood. One of the colors of the root chakra, is
black. This is where lies your foundation in life. Black is also
Saturn energy, the Divine Masculine, the world within, the Record
Keeper, the Lord of Karma. When the head and the heart are united,
Saturn has done its work.
Another Crone Magic color is purple. Purple represents pure divine
power, it deepens spiritual awareness and is used for gaining ancient
wisdom and finding that which you seek. Purple represents psychic
awareness, spirituality and the Third Eye or the All Seeing Eye,
the sixth chakra. Purple is Neptune energy. Neptune melts all barriers
by being persuasive. It is a Feminine vibration. Neptune is Divine
Love, intangible realms and the next dimension. With Neptune sacrifice
is joy and there is no suffering. |
You will want to have an area especially for your magical work.
This is where you power lies outside of yourself. This is your
altar or shrine space. It can be as simple or as elaborate as
you like. Sometimes one must use a portable altar because of
circumstances, space being one of them. A portable altar is good
for other reasons as well, like privacy or simply for convenience.
When one makes magic, they are using energy. Everything is energy
and energy is used to create. Energy in and of itself, is pure.
We give it the intention and emotion of our will. Energy is not
good or bad. It just is. You’ll want to use it to empower
and use your Sacred Tools, such as herbs, stones, oils and any
other items that are deemed sacred to you and by you. We use tools
to help create an ambience that is conducive to magical work.
Within my Sacred Toolbox, are musical instruments, such as a nutshell
rattle, to call up and shake off, bells, wooden sticks, feathers,
candles, crystals, earth and water collected at certain times.
I also have a doll that I made for special work on myself. Some
things that represent the Crone energy are brooms, shells and bones.
I found a great Crone figurine at a thrift store. She is working
her broom and she has a black cat at her feet. You may even make
your Crone doll, or a Magical Crone Collage or decorate a broom.
When making a Magical Crone Collage, you will need magazines and
or newspapers and other things to make your collage - like shells,
mirrors, cotton, etc. Frame it and hang it where you can gaze upon
it daily. This will help to empower your own Crone energy. Decorating
a broom is a ritual for me. I use herbs, shells, bells and whatever
else I’m guided to use. Use your broom to sweep the aura
before doing magical work. If you don’t have a broom, a feather
will do or just use your hands.
Now that you have your Sacred Tools and a working knowledge of
the Dark Moon and Her power and purpose, it is time for you to
make magic happen in your life. Crone Magic is an awesome power.
If you are a woman whose Sacred Blood no longer flows forth from
her womb but continuously flows within - know that your wisdom
is contained for the greater good and enjoy this aspect of your
life. Be empowered and make magic.
