Witch Wisdom for Magical Aging: Finding Your Power through the Changing Seasons

I devoured Cait’s book like food from the Goddesses! So much magic here to guide us crones—both emerging and solidly in the life by now. Every paragraph is a delight, written by a poet and witch who appreciates the spiritual power of aging and relishes the challenges and treasures of our third stage of life. I will be returning again and again to drink in the wisdom she offers, in each season with its guiding witch and maybe just dipping into a favorite ritual or practice—gasp!--out of season. Aren’t we old enough now to break the rules and go after what we truly desire? My favorite section is Autumn, the realm of the Kitchen Witch, probably because I connect to the Earth through food and cooking. Cait’s poem about the empowerment of a simple kitchen apron hit my heart—I’m still wearing my apron from a college pottery class, which has served me well through early cooking disasters, pregnancy, bushels of ripe tomatoes, and now my crone tendency to splash olive oil around with abandon. Let me quote only the first lines on p. 128: “When I put your loop over my head and tie your ribbons behind my thickened waist, I feel ready to do something real.” That made me cry. Dive deep into the journey of croning with Cait Johnson. Blessed be.

I found this book to have interesting info in it, thanks

A delightful book on how to navigate the aging process for women. It is refreshing as she uses the concept of the seasons to walk one through the aging process with ease and grace. Johnson helps women to accept the aging process and use the energy of the seasons to age graciously. A must-read for any woman over 40. Listen to my interview with her on Get Over It! Podcast.

I was so excited to read this book as I’m moving into my crone years and having difficulty with the transition. I was hoping for a book that was more about embracing the crone and exploring the deep wisdom and mystery of these years. Instead the book is like a pep talk on how to clean your house, clothes to wear and natural beauty products to make. Skimming the surface is not what I’m here for so this book was a disappointment.

My house is falling to pieces, I don’t have much to wear because I spend too much of my money on books which goes to show how many books I have and I must to say this is the most beautiful book I have ever read .Buy it , read it and read it again .

This book invites you into its arms providing comfort and joy. It gives you permission to stay embracing a positive outlook to share with others as you continue life’s journey.Amazing - buy and enjoy!
