Maiden Mother Crone

Maiden Mother Crone is a memoir in verse, challenging the traditional approach to faith by putting Madeleine's own stories at the heart of a narrative defined by a quest for spiritual identity. Encased within the spiritual feminine it offers magic and mysticism, abuse and reconciliation, power and perception and faith and feminism. This collection is a 'cri de coeur' for women who may have been side-lined, abused and disenfranchised to find their own seat at the table. Taking its cues from the older, more matriarchal nature and Celtic and Nordic traditions, Maiden Mother Crone takes us on a journey from 'mother goddess' to modern faith. With inclusion and spiritual expression at the heart of it, the collection calls upon us to find a new way to be and to connect; reminding us that as 'Maidens, Mothers and Crones' we speak the same fundamental truths the world over. 'I'll weave pixels into promises and shared words into prayers of hope,and so transform this world of men to somewhere crones can fly again.' Maiden Mother Crone, the second book in The Crossing Places Series, is life affirming, nurturing and mothering. The series challenges women and our allies to come together to express experiences of the feminine through shared values, ideas and stories in different settings, particularly through nature and the natural world. Though frame worked by the woman's narrative in The Horse And The Girl and the series' second book, Maiden Mother Crone, the third and forthcoming book, The Maiden Mother Crone Anthology, will give fathers, sons, brothers, partners and colleagues the opportunity to weave their voices and stories in alongside ours.
