5.0 out of 5 stars Right on the Money - A Wonderful Look at Crones, 27 Dec 2003
By Boudica (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
A refreshing look at Crones is offered in this book. Ms. Bolen presents us with her "Thirteen Qualities of a Crone" and the view is practical and humorous as well as insightful.
Ms. Bolen has a grasp on what constitutes a Crone. Her definitions are 'on the money'. She states up front that the qualities she discusses in her book are not achieved over night nor are you automatically given these qualities once you pass menopause. These are qualities that must be developed and nurtured. And they are useful qualities that can be achieved by anyone willing to take on the task.

This book is just full of little pearls of wisdom that can be chewed on, muddled over and taken to heart. The qualities expressed here reflect the modern day approach of women who want to grow older gracefully and want to express their freedom and celebrate their life.

But while these principals are wonderful and full of practical wisdom and the development of these qualities would be an addition to any woman's personal and spiritual growth, these should not be seen as all there is to being Crone nor should you take these principals as the only road to becoming older and wiser. The paths are endless and each path is a personal journey, as this book is for Ms. Bolen. There will be points you will be able to relate to, but not everyone will relate to everything.

The 'Possibilities and Thoughts' section of the book presents a few more ideas and wisdoms. "Exceptional Men Can be Crones' (yes, we call them 'Sages'), the idea that 'Crones Together Can Change the World', and her musings on Angeles Arrien's 'Four Guiding Principals' and the inclusion of spirituality into the equation make for interesting conversation with your fellow crones.

This is a lovely book on female empowerment for the older woman, and offers insight to growing wiser as we grow older. This book is a good choice if you are looking for guidance as you progress through the gauntlet of menopause and being feminine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crones don't whine, 11 Oct 2009
By Ms. Sandra Lane "mystyrose" (GIbraltar) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading this excellent book recommended to me by my friend I can't wait to be a fully fledged Crone.

Well written and informative and what more I don't whine any more.

This book is a pleasure to read. It does not bog you down. The print is of a reasonable size and spacing.

Loads of tips for the future Crone and what it is to enter the third stage in your life.

A must read for anyone the age range of 48 and above for all even if you are not a woman.
