3 Stages of a Witch and its effects on your witchcraft

Did you know that there are three stages, loosely associated with the maiden mother crone aspect of any triple deity. We follow the same path and are we not all like a deity? I am in the transition period between mother and crone. This later transition period can last for several years, or can be quite quick, it much depends on the witch and how they are feeling. I don’t like the word crone, and am embracing my inner wise woman or cunning woman label instead, but some of you witches like this term so, please don’t let me stop you calling yourself this. This is everybody’s witchcraft

    Thank you for offering such an inclusive take on the “parent” phase. It weighs on me when I hear about the power and gifts of motherhood knowing I will never have children of my own. I did act as the primary caregiver for my brother for many years, yet people say I’m selfish for not birthing a child to raise.

    Carly, people criticize no matter what you do. If you have one child, they say it's not fair for a child to not have siblings. If you have two, they say how can you bring more children into the world to add to pollution and overcrowding and you don't have the money to take care of them properly. Live your life Carly!! ✨

    Yes, I agree with all the points raised, especially that relating to the ‘crone’. Wise would seem better for either female or male. However, what about about those of us who missed out on the virgin and parent phase. Not our life experience of course, but our magical or witchy phases. When I was around 7 I used to have a magical friend who was with me in my dad’s garden, so much so that I can remember her now. I, at 70, have just begun my pagan journey and so wish I had started out earlier. Thanks for the video. Peter

    Well I am so excited to have found a witch in her wise-woman stage of her life with a youtube channel!. No offense to the young witch youtubers but the "been there done that, doesn't excite me much anymore" phase of my life is settled in strong. But I still love the craft, just not all the showy stuff anymore. I don't cast spells much anymore either. I was a mother but my daughter passed away when she was 20. She was my only child so I have a hard time with that part of my identity. It is a bitter sweet phase of my life. Settling into the crone stage of my life feels good in a way. I could do without the hot flashes though! Any spells for that? No matter what I try, can't get rid of them. I've had them for 10 years now already. Seriously that's enough! Now to go watch more of your videos!

    I was resistant to the word crone as well, because traditionally, I've thought of crone as grandmother. You're a daughter, then a mother, then a grandmother. However, after both of my older sisters passed away before they reached 55, I hit that particular milestone, and started to see a crone as a strong, venerable woman who has lived through, and seen much. I actually embrace the term now, even though I'll never be a grandma, because my daughter can't have children and my son has no interest in parenting whatsoever. Anyway, I really enjoyed your take on the stages of a witch, and it rang as true to me as anything I've heard on the subject. Thanks for sharing your lovely witchery with us all.

    I love the word Crone! I hear it and I automatically picture my Grandma and a little old lady on the edge of the woods with lots of cats and critters about, naking jam in her kitchen. My Grandma because was so wise, loving, and nurturing. Although she was not a Witch, if you ever had a problem, Grandma would make you a cup of tea, a cup of M&M's and sit and talk you through it. And the little old lady on the edge of the woods because that is what I would love to be. Only I will have my large wolf dogs as well. 😉 My daughter is still a maiden and incredibly powerful.... And you're right, I as a mom focus mai ly on keeping everyone safe and healthy! My mom has become the Crone.... And is embracing it! Love this aspect of our life cycles and will be sharing this as I am sure it will help a couple ladies. An eccellent explination!

    I thought a male witch was a warlock? I thought the difference between a magician and a warlock or witch were that witches really didn't have any rules. I thought a magician I guess cause of Crowley studies I done. I sort of jumped into it without much choice really. So I am female but thought I was more magician than a witch. I feel that there are universal laws that stay in place no matter what even though dominions have laws. But also believe in another universe. So yes to me a magician would keep universal laws here or try to anyway.
