Who is the crone?

She is the most dangerous, the most radical, the most revolutionary woman in existence. 

Whether in fairy tales or in consensual reality, the old one goes where she wants to and she acts as she wishes; she lives as she chooses.

And this is all as it should be. And no one can stop her. Nor ought they try.

 ~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés
