Wise Wo/man Cronings
The Croning ceremony is a one-off sacred event created to honor a woman's entry into this stage of her life's journey — the passage into becoming a Wise Woman. This is a single ceremony, distinct from Ariel's ongoing Crone at the Crossroads mentorship, which supports women over a longer, agreed-upon period.
