⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Johnson and Matthews offer a refreshing perspective on the crone phase, providing accessible rituals and meditations that feel both grounded and inspiring. The seasonal framework makes complex emotional work manageable for those ready to embrace change. However, readers seeking rigid dogmatic rules or traditional historical Wicca may find its focus on personal archetypal exploration too fluid or New Age-adjacent. It is not suited for those who prefer scholarly occult history over practical, life-affirming application. Ultimately, it serves as a warm companion for those ready to honor their evolving identity through magical practice.
