I am so delighted to have coffee with crones literally show up here today on my youtube.feed...love it!! residing in a basement apartment theses last 5 years without a garden has been hard, although i do have many houseplants. This year i was gifted a plot at local community garden in Canada. My neighbour gifted the plot to me as a single dad he wanted to learn about gardening so he got one too. It will be of ease for me to get back and forth to the garden as transportation is available from my neighbour. The first thing i did for my plot was create a garden altar/garden guardian. I am an Altar maker and this felt so wonderful to create this for my gardening journey that i thought was lost to me. Thank U ,U beautiful crones, i am grateful as I am also a crone.
Oh Rhonda, I am so glad you have a plot now, I can imagine how hard that would be without one, houseplants are amazing, but there is something more, having an outside space. What a brilliant neighbour you have too! I love that. - Ruby x
That sounds great! Let us know how the gardens develops. I love the Guardian idea I do something similar in my Greenhouse I Have a Sacred plant, Salvia divinorum, as my Greenhouse Guardian. Also think that each garden that we create is an altar to the Earth. Thats an amazing thought!! BB Cindy
We are here to show up as we are, no fluff and no BS, we all are magic all the time! That's what we want to spread, Thank you for your kind words! BB Cindy
i grab a hot coco and watch you talk . Feels like i am with a group of friends talking about what we love and sharing our knowledge. Thank you for sharing. Maybe a chat about pookas and brwonies etc coming for the spring time.
Thanks for your comment and joining us for a cuppa and a chat round the table. That's exactly what we were hoping to do 😀 Thanks for the suggestion about pooka and brownies, I don't know too much about them but I'm curious to know more! -Ayesha
I am of strong Celtic ancestors. Having trouble with high blood pressure and men’s chemical meds and I do not get along well. While sitting at the store one day, I received a thought of Hawthorn, so off I went in search and started taking hawthorn and down my pressure went! I so appreciate the medicines that are given to us naturally and I even appreciate the wisdom you three ladies share! Keep it coming, I’m growing wiser by the minute!
Just being in green spaces is a tonic 💚 it's amazing being drawn to something, then when finding out about it, realising that's what was needed. Love those moments of serendipity! -Ayesha
Welcome Denise! So pleased that the Hawthorn spoke to you, its a great plant. I make my tincture with all the parts, I harvest the new leaves and flowers in the spring and shake once a day, then after 3 months strain and add the leaves again and in the Autumn, I add the Berries, this makes a really whole medicine I find. I also out the berries into a salad. BB Cindy
Let food be thy medicine, I went whole foods plant based 8 mos ago and am about to discard my Lisinaprill. Lost 40 lbs, BP went from stroke level to 117/ 74 ❤
I hope everyone here follows and appreciates the incredible Irish Greenwitch Collette, of Bealtaine Cottage. This year is the 20th anniversary of her 3-acre Permaculture forest, single - handedly planted by her. So glad to see more Crones on UA-cam! ❤
Dandelions are amazing! I love finding out more about the humble yet incredible dandelion. Adding this association of sun, moon and stars, I agree Cora! - 👌
We are definitely all about creativity so I'm fairly sure we will be having a creative chat! Thankyou for the topic suggestion, your lavender wind dancer description inspires a painting, I'm not a painter but I want to! 💜 -Ayesha
All three of us are very creative so yes, its defo on the list, embracing the unique Creatrix that resides within all of us and exploring how we express her !!! BB Cindy
Okay, Ladies, this is like a gift from the Goddess Herself! I know there are millions of us loving our Crone-selves, and just itching to share with a like-minded community!
I'm back, a week later, watching again! I think this is the first time I have been in at the start of a new channel. At 62, it is just mind blowing to me how far we've come, as Witches, in my lifetime. I started practicing at 13, but had to keep my beliefs private for years. I belonged to a couple of covens, also in secret. I went public with my own practice about 30 years ago, and was reasonably well received, but now...Witchcraft and Paganism are the fastest growing Spiritual practices in the world! And here we are chatting about it on Social Media! What an exciting time to be alive!
Couldn’t agree more!!!! Just resting and listening and watching is incredibly therapeutic and healing for me ❤️🩹thank you so much for this !!!!!! Please do more videos of romanticizing your life with nature and love and light ❤
Thank you, Kelly, it's time we all stepped forward and started putting ourselves out there, I want to pass on my love of all things Earthy and I feel sad sometimes that my line ends with me! BB Cindy
Suggestion: would you all like to talk about play as a key to magick/creativity. I have consciously cultivated a spirit of play, but I notice that people around me don't seem to tap into playfulness easily. Play as in wonder, imagination, whimsy, creativity, thinking outside the box, humor ... kind of a broad spectrum of energy. I find play opens energetic pathways, spiritually, creatively, and lightens my spirit. Maybe, this is a topic you would like to chat about. Love what you all are doing!
that is a perfect suggestion! I am totally all about play, curiosity and being silly, I have never thought of it as a key to magic before, even though I know its key to creativity, but you are spot on, it really is. I'm excited to chat about this is with the crones - Ruby x
This is an interesting topic! Play is so helpful to flow state and creativity making insired connections, so it makes sense that it would be helpful to magical practice exactly as you say raising energy and raising our vibe! Thanks for this suggestion I will be pondering this, as so often being time bound and set on achieving an intention, this does not allow space and time for playfulness. Interesting! -Ayesha
Here's a story of what's growing is what you need. I was emotionally sick to my stomach, so I went out into the yard and asked for help with this, to show me what I need. When I looked up, it was directly at Wisteria, whose flower essence is good for women healing from men's abuse. It worked too.
I'm only a few minutes in and adore you 3. If I'm "spiritual" and honor the elements (earth to ether), I do follow the calm and chaos of that. Mother Earth is not light, positive, and airy all the time. Sometimes she is in a rage not just becasue of what humans muck up but because she understands as a whole a shift is needed. Existing on this planet at any time, as we know it, can't survive one way or the other. It breaks my heart to see animals eat other animals, fires burn down forests, water dry up or cause floods, and so on. Yet, it's what reincarnates this super dense (material) experience. I'm just sharing my thoughts I have at the moment :)
What a lovely channel! Thank you ladies! I wish I could find like minded friends to connect with in this way. I'm always the odd 'witchy' one, and it can feel lonely at times. This makes me long for that connection with 'others' who are the same. It's a beautiful thing to be able to be understood by like minded souls and just chat about these magical things. So thank you for letting me sit in and join you 🙏🏽😊 love and blessings to everyone who reads this. Stay magical! ✨🍄🧙🏽♀️🌿
I wish that for you too Michelle, Ayesha and I only just met not that long ago, through Cindy, and you are right it can feel lonely, I am sure there will be like minded ladies near you, it’s the finding them that is tricky, you are always welcome at the table with us - Ruby x
Stumbled or shall I say guided to your video! RN who has stepped away years ago to align with my truth….nature! Live off grid in a yurt in the mountains of northern Idaho with gardens, chickens geese pigs soon goats, milk cow and donkeys/pony! Always extending my herbal garden and wild foraging! My return to the re-wilding of myself and remembering my medicine/gifts! Turned 52 in March and now is our time to raise the frequency of the truth of love. Our connection to Mother Earth and her medicine is what is needed more than ever before. Coffee with Crones…..just lovely 💫✨🫶🏻🪄🤍
ohh your life and home sounds amazing!! what a dream, I love that you have changed your life to align with your truth, I can just imagine how peaceful it is. - Ruby x
This sounds absolutely wonderful! We are the same age and I work in the medical field as well and I long for the chance to get away from it all. For now I get to play with herbs in my kitchen in Ohio, sigh
Your spot on this wonderful Earth sounds absolutely blissfull, I had a small holding for several years and hope to go back to that way of life when I retire. I do try to grow as much as I can with the space that I have. BB Cindy
My mental health is much better when I can find that mindfulness space. And the key to it is observation without judgment. So if my thoughts start going of track I observe. And it helps in the beginning to say it out loud, like "oh, I'm worried about x". I don't judge that, it just is. Then I move on. It's very powerful. And I went thru a lot of years thinking I knew all about mindfulness before I actually understood it. There is a shift once you move from knowing to understanding that you don't comprehend until you are there.
Yes! I love that you have shared this with us, the observation is so important, I was having a bit of a day today, and I did just that, I realised after observing that I hadn’t slept well and not eaten properly, and that’s why I felt so emotional. Thanks for your words Amanda, they will be helpful for people to read. - Ruby
This is really helpful, thank you xx. I've recently started trying to meditate on the breath (have always been rubbish at meditating but this seems to be working), what I need to find is a way to see the effects of other peoples' dramas as if from a distance, rather than feeling my blood pressure skyrocket. BB
What wonderful feedback, yes observation without judgement is key! I feel the same you think you know it and then suddenly when you do fully know you realise that you didn't really get it at all! BB Cindy
@@denisehill7769 it took me a really long time, but I can do that, be the observer not the participant, I say things like 'not my circus, not my monkeys' and 'I don't have to get involved', it reminds me that is actually nothing to do with me (unless it was cruelty etc) and that helps my head.
OH FRICK YEAH!!!!! A channel about older ( well not 20 year old 'influencers' ) women, crones that love all of the things I love, I am so excited!! Coffee with Crones is a BRILLIANT idea. This is magic.A cup of chai, dogs cuddled up to me, hanging with my new friends. I love The Good Life, fave show as a teen and is such a comfort show! I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago and since I have never felt better or happier, I didn't realise how sick I was from anemia, I have been in the garden all day every day. I would love to see your gardens. Also would love to hear more about your fave books and shows and any podcast you like? Very interesting point about plants growing around you that you need.. I have nasturtiums coming up by the thousands through my garden and I have just had a thought.. because of my anemia I have 'Pica', a condition where you get intense cravings for usually non food items like rocks/dirt, my craving is strong intense antiseptic type tasting things like eucalyptus oil and now cardamon seeds, I eat kilos of them and it has done a lot of damage to my teeth that I am having to deal with BUT ...I am thinking I should use nasturtium seeds to chew on and try to satisfy that crazy craving! Of course morning dew on plants would be like Bach flower remedies! Brilliant tip. Fantastic to hear that there is a facebook page for us all to meet I am so happy that this popped up in my recommended! Big love to you ladies❤❤❤
oh wow thanks for being here and being so enthusiastic about our channel, that makes us super happy! Great ideas for topics for future episodes, so thanks for asking. that's is so interesting about the Nasturtiums, and a really good idea too. Me and my friend Chris (also a Witch) made a video about our favourite books - ua-cam.com/video/_mUrd9aBaz8/v-deo.htmlsi=QR0nqwLFwKk0Hmpj in case you fancied watching it. Have a great evening - Ruby x
I love nasturtiums! I haven't tried eating them yet but ive seen them being used in salads, they are supposed to be a bit peppery and the seeds are a bit like capers? Check for allergies first of course 😅 Last time I grew nasturtiums they got eaten by a LOT of catterpillars 😂 but I'm fine with this. There will have been some happy birds and lots of butterflies that year! My garden is a bit of a muddy blank slate at the moment but I'm going to dig out my nasturtium seeds for sure! Hope your garden time continues to aid your recovery from your op and thanks for your comment! -Ayesha
Chai and Dogs! What more could you want? Absolute bliss! Yes, the garden is such a phenomenal space to reconnect with ourselves, to be still and to hear what our bodies are saying! I love sitting in the sun (I'm originally from South Africa) closing my eyes and just breathing deeply. BB Cindy
Words will sometimes reveal secrets that our logical mind does not believe or authenticate...is something spelling a message ? I have noticed that 'to eat soil' , letters rearranged, says, 'isolate'. Whether one should isolate and enjoy the luxury, or whether it could be a statement about early childhood or something, I don't know. And I do know that everything found in rearranged spellings is not true....but in my experience, it often is ,uncannily, something that is happening, ir something that science is just discovering. Is spelling ...casting spells?? Of course, dogs and chai, that's perfect already. Enjoy your day!💛 Oh! I forgot the obvious! 'I eat oils' is spelled in there, so I'm thinking, seeds! The oil in seeds might have nutrients that your body is craving! Sprouted pumpkin seeds are great!
My dearest Crones, how delightful I was when I returned to bed with my hot cuppa (after sorting and folding the washing) to read my book when I was researching something on my phone, open UA-cam and there you were. I placed my book aside and enjoyed my cuppa listening to you all. I am at the stage in my life where I am reassessing withdrawing from my career to dedicate myself fully to my souls desire - gardening/plant medicine, and connecting with Mother Earth is where I am totally being drawn to - so I look forward to listening, learning and where possible sharing with all. You have made my day🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 totally enjoy the authenticity of the “coffee with crones” session, have share with friends so hopefully you will get great support from Australia. I have actually started a journal with your name on it for reference notes. Am totally grateful for the universe guidance. My love and gratitude to you all🙏🏻♥️💋♥️🙏🏻
The world is in a very precarious spot right now and it seems to me, that many women of our generation are looking for how we were raised in nature and trying to find our way back. I for one grew up in the country, still living in the farmhouse my grandparents bought 111 years ago! Finding solace in nature is mind and life saving.
How lovely to hear from you Mary! I really felt connected to you for a moment there, mmmm, the beauty of taking your time to reemerge into the world and recreate yourself with bliss. Brightest blessings on your path! BB Cindy
The journey of navigating through the shadows is and amazing learning gift 🤔👼🤔for we need light and darkness to find and connect with our divine authentic self, regardless that it can be a shit show some days, the art is to float above the it, and agree that one gets better, more comfortable, wiser with age🤪🤪 can’t wait for the next session. Have a beautiful day🙏🏻♥️💋♥️🙏🏻
Thankyiu for the nudge! I'm a latecomer to Terry Pratchett, always meant to read his books but somehow never got there! I've been gathering his books from charity shops, please recommend your favourite celebratory witchy crone books! 😃 -Ayesha
I live in Asia and remember my eldest sister who apprenticed with one of my grandmothers, making potions using dew collected from flowers and leaves. She has forgotten about it...being hocusy pocusy and frowned upon by 'religion'.
What a beautiful idea!! Hello from Idaho, USA! I am 30 years old and in my neck of the woods it is all very religious. Mormanism, Amish, Mennonites, Christianity is big here. I have made some wonderful religious friends but nothing like what I left. I left a wonderful group of spiritual women before I moved to the mountains and I wonder how long do I have to wait for some witchy women to come into my life for deep conversation?! This feeds my soul to watch this video. Many thanks!
It's so lovely to read all these comments and know there are so many others who feel this too and joining us round the table where it might not be possible in real life. Glad you found us here and we will share a brew and a chat again soon 😃 - Ayesha
I just found you and subbed right away. I love nature and use almost exclusively natural remedies for EVERYTHING. One concern is that a lot of us mature ladies have downsized and have no garden so I hope you will embrace subjects other than gardening on your channel. Congrats on your new yt endeavor ❤
Hermiston Oregon here. A local lady close to her eis she is of the woods, she teaches herbalism and such. Blessings beautiful souls. I just came across this chanel first time today how wonderful and perfect garden topic and conversation. Thank you
This is just the thing. I could listen to you all talk all day. I'm a green witch who lost my friends over the past decade the more I come into myself. I come from a Southern, conservative culture but have moved since. It's been hard to lose connection with other that fear what I believe but nice to come into myself. Listening to this made me feel like I had friends again. Thanks so much. Can't wait for the next one.
Isn't it liberating that as we get more into who we truly are, old connections that don't serve us fall away. To me it really says more about the fact that on an energetic level they maybe not have been true friends anyway. Family well now that's a whole other story ! BB Cindy
I’m in very rural east Texas & know exactly what you are conveying. I wish I could trust anyone here to seek a companion. But companionship is not worth the risk to what I have at my homestead in the woods. The empowerment I am finally achieving & sustaining is more important. All my life I have dreamed of this life I am living now with no one lording over me and all my energy that I cultivate is mine to spend any way I want without judgments or interference from others. The sacrifices I had to make on my journey to get here are staggering beyond the comprehension of anyone I ever meet. So why would I allow some country simpleton to come and undo it all with her pockets full of good intentions and a head full of preconceived notions? It’s already taken me 2 1/2 years to achieve the wonderful title of “that crazy old cat lady that lives down the road” so that the little hooligans in the neighborhood are afraid of me and their parents no longer acknowledge my presence. Things couldn’t be better! So if Goddess should decide there is a suitable companion in my future I certainly do keep my mind open to it, but I am not seeking because in this region just to put the energy out there for people contact of any sort is dangerous. In this political insanity we live in as Americans lately, my very life depends on keeping my broom under the radar. I can’t even accomplish a proper acquaintance in this region, let alone any type of friendship. But every time I open my front door and I’m greeted with the sounds & smells of the pine forest and Eagles overhead… I realize I just don’t need anyone else anymore. My life is all about the great lady now. Frankly, I’m much too busy and anyone I do meet would have to be OK with joining in because I’m not leaving here except for once a month to go to town for supplies. I highly doubt I’m going to find anyone who fits that requirement. But Goddess has done greater miracles so I watch… I wait… I will see.
It is so heartening to make these connections. To find people of a similar mindset who want to tread gently and experience the wonder, when theres so much to distract. It's so good to meet round the table and realise there are others out there like us 💚 merry meet! -Ayesha
@@chelseacraft4669 Thank you for sharing all of that! I can so relate! I also live on a homestead surrounded by woods in Colorado and don't see much of anyone but really enjoy spending time with the trees and my plants. It's such a peaceful life. It also keeps me busy but it's such meaningful and spiritual work, working with Mother Earth. I couldn't dream of doing anything else. So happy to imagine other like you living similarly. 💜
Your video found me on a day of anger. I needed it more than i first realized. Thank you, Crones. Silently, in the damp forests of Pennsylvania, there lives a new admirer; taking his days as they arrive, hoping they depart friends. Embracing both shadows and light, please accept my greeting and thanks for letting us listen in.
Welcome around the table, its such a blessing to be able to stand back and really feel into our emotions at times. I'm glad you found us when you did and hope that we made your day a little brighter! BBCindy
Hello, Sister Crones! I'm a 59 y/o eclectic witch living in the South here in America. Loved your video (this is the first one I found)... now I have to watch all the others! Hope you all keep recording and posting as you all have such lovely energies and wonderful knowledge to share!!! 💚💜💚🖤
Your channel popped into my view this morning. At first I found the three of you so refreshing to listen to and then I started learning things that I didn't know. The longer I watched the more apparent it became that I have been disconnected for at least 20 years from the things that used to give me such joy that I started balling my eyes out. I have been working on with my shadow side, healing my inner child and taking back my personal power. Thank you so very much for showing me another aspect of myself to strengthen and heal. Blessings to you all.
I know what you mean! Life gets in the way sometimes and I'm trying to get better at making the time for the things that bring me joy. Thanks for watching and best wishes for your healing journey 💚- Ayesha
Well, this is a lovely surprise! I love it when 'They' introduce me to new experiences 😊 I live in the Pacific North West of the US in Oregon. Here is my daily 'prayer'... I don't know the author. when I doubt, show me my strength; when I am wrong, show me the right path; light the crossroads before me that I may see my way Queen of transitions, Guardian of doorways Hecate, bless my Journeys through Dark and Dawn; Day and Dusk help me to bring into balance the forces within myself light and dark, above and below as a coin cannot have only one side, I am not whole one without the other. Blessed be! ❤
Hello! So glad to hear from you, it's great when you know that "they" actually are there and that when you sat "they" to some people they don't bat an eyelid because they know that "they" exist! LOL BB Cindy
I love those moments of serendipity when something unexpected turns up and it's just what you need, even if you didn't know it! Thankyou for sharing your daily prayer and the honouring of balance within it. Also makes me think of seeds being nourished and nurtured in the dark and dirt of the earth to emerge and grow true to itself 💚 Ayesha
This has absolutely made my day, if not week,possibly year to be honest!!!! 😁🥰 Being a 40 year old Crone myself, this channel ticks all of the boxes. Never felt so at home/connected watching a UA-cam video. Can't wait for the next installment..Already completely "in love" with this channel and you three,lovely ladies. Thank you so much.. 😊🤗😘
Mwah! That's so lovely to hear, I have been hatching this idea for some time but didn't want to do it on my own, too much ego, so it took a while to get it together but I'm so glad we did! BB Cindy
Thankyou for watching! It was a pleasure to be in Ruby's studio, hope you saw the short video tour Ruby posted 💚 the rhyme at the end makes me smile, if we can remember it! 😅 -Ayesha
Hello from Sisters, Oregon. There are nearby snowy mountains, rivers and streams, and on the cusp of high desert with ponderosa pines and endless sage. I was here last year walking and listening to Clarrissa Pinkola Estes stories from her How to be a Crone collection. A transformational listen. (Women who Run with the Wolves author). I'm back a year later, and in the meantime, after a lifetime with spiritual touchstones, the pervading love of intuition has come calling in a powerful, heartening way! Walking here again, it's as if the beings of her stories have come to life in the forest in the form of memories. It's been 3 years of travel focusing on nature in search of a new place to land to have a garden and pond! The very considerations of my dreams, thank you!
Sounds like an amazing journey and a beautiful place to call you back! I will look up the how to be a crone by Clarisa Pinkola Estes. How fantastic to enhance your travels with stories that immerse you and connect you 💚 I have She who runs with wolves on my to read pile. Thanks for joining us here ☕️- Ayesha
hi Jane, ohh I love Sisters, I follow an artist, Kelly Rae Roberts who lives in Sisters, it looks like such a wonderful place to live, it has been a dream of mine to visit Oregon for many years - Ruby x
Hola! You are marvelous inspiration, Ladies! I am filled with joy to see more of us speaking out on the Love, Wisdom, & Magic we receive from our Earth Mother. Please keep sharing! Thank-you and Namaste!
Thankyou for your lovely comment, so glad you found us here. Our Mother Earth has so much wisdom to share when we take the time to tune in and listen. Merry meet! -Ayesha
I am delighted to have been shown the path to your youtube channel. I work with the earths magic through Reiki, Crystals, herbalism also trained in Shamanism follow the moon and the wheel of the year. I am starting this year to garden by the moon. I am considered weird by my family and people I know but I embrace this. I also work with and talk to animals and plants mentally and physically. I feel so blessed by these gifts I have been given.
Wow. Thank you so much. I live in switzerland and i practise prayers zeremonies music in nature and for the trees fpr everything. Also we create medicine from "fallen" gifts from the forest And i wish that i can connect with others. But today i had the vision that farmers was interested in that kind of "carring" and than we created a small circe in the village wirh medicine and all this singing. I hope you could understand . My english is not very well. ❤❤❤❤❤ big hug
Thankyou for your message, so lovely to hear what you do in your home town. Singing with others is a great way to connect. I hope you got a good response and want to do more 💚 -Ayesha
There are younger people like me who are admiring you, and we'll learn to be at our higher most natural vibration earlier and earlier. Thank you. I just turned twenty four two days ago and I desire more magic, connection to life, god, Soul, Healing more and more all the time. The energy dip from the toils of life is something I am seriously Not wanting to passively take part in or continue going with out sharpening my intuitive abilities. My parent didn't teach me how important that is and personally i think spiritual awakening during this time for people in my phase of life is Absolutely crazy and weird but It's really nice to have so many elders to learn from and relate to.
Oh lovely this is so good to read, wow you are half my age and I am so glad you are already on this path, you will be leaps ahead of others and that’s amazing because you can make life exactly how you desire it to be, thank you for watching, that has really made my day - Ruby
Dearest you are not SUPPOSED TO BE anything except exactly what you are. You are ALSO a physical entity,with emotions, and thoughts, and physical feelings. Don't bash yourself for being what you are. You are beautiful and lovely and absolutely perfect the way you are. Be YOU,ALL OF YOU.
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 my darling,you may accept what you are. It's much easier to deal with reality than self deception. In accepting ones self ,for all your faults and imperfections, navigation is easier
So pleased to see your channel having such an impact, with so many views! Lovely to sit in on your conversations. Wishing you all the best from a fellow gardener!
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 Thank you! You have so many comments I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I have far fewer subscribers and comments, and it's a lot to keep up with!
What a delightful video and channel you have! From the camera position it feels like I'm sitting at the cosy table myself listening to wisdom from you wonderful folk
Hi Nancy, glad you think we make sense, I struggle to understand my self sometimes when I'm explaining things or how I perceive things! So, it's nice to have folk around the table that get you! BB Cindy
I believe nothing is by chance and feel I was led to you amazing ladies, everything that you talked about resonated with me and I could feel my creativity and vibrations raising and to be honest I was struggling with dreaded anxiety today but felt it fade away while listening, thank you so much and please keep the videos coming.....loved, loved, loved it!!! ☀🌙🌠💞
Merry meet, my witchy friends ❤. I loved your uplifting video. I am a solitary practitioner, of forty years, and have always thought that "THINGS" all over my altar, were just that...... things. Some symbolism is to help me keep the focus at hand. Keep them coming! dawngoddess, from Canada
This channel came across my art videos. I’m a Canadian living in the very hot dry tropics of Panama SA. It’s hard to grow things where I live in this country but I do have nice tropical plants and flowers around. I’m an intuitive artist and a yoga teacher. I meditate and do tapping every morning to face this world/mud. I’m very blessed being retired and doing what I want to do. I’m glad to have found you all because I live a very isolated life here with 20 rescued cats from the streets. I love being outside and connecting to my environment. Unfortunately we can’t have open water around due to dengue in this country but I do get big toads visiting the cats water dishes! Looking forward to your videos. Massive love and light to all here!
Thankyou for watching from Panama!, glad you enjoyed it. How lovely that you've given a home to 20 cats! I'm a cat person and imagine I'll have lots of cats one day, my 2 will do for now 😸 -Ayesha
So glad you found us here and found some comfort in our chat, that's so lovely to know. Thanks for your message and for joining us at the table for a cuppa. -Ayesha
So synchronicitous... was out at our favourite layered yew today gathering wild garlic for pesto with walnuts and black pepper... 😊 really loved listening to your highly inspiring natter xx
Thankyou for your message and thanks for watching!. Wild garlic 😋😋 love pesto made with it and this year had wild garlic and cheese scones also a wild garlic and feta quiche! 😙👌so good -Ayesha
Perfect timing as I sit here with my 2nd hazelnut latte preparing to get out in my gardens! I am loving this channel so much already! Bright Blessings from Texas 💜🍄🔮🍄💜
Hello! So nice to get out in the garden, it's been a very wet start to the spring but loving the signs of spring and birdsong in the morning tempting me outside 💚 so glad you've joined us here! - Ayesha
Where have you been? Thank you for the kind invitation into your world. I too am a Crone but a bit older. I recently started drinking Meadowsweet tea for my Arthritis and joint pain. Its also good for heartburn, ulcers, colds, and diuretic for kidney and bladder infections. Anti-inflammatory as well. ♓️💐🌹🌷Its Spring here in Michigan.
oooooOOOOOO! Crystals for the garden would be a WONDERfuLL topic - to invite the magik in and keep the dogs out. YARROW... hard to believe that a gardening encyclopedia I had back in the '90s featured this wonderful plant as an "invasive weed," and how to get rid of it. BLESSINGS to you lovely ladies! 🙏
Thanks for the topic suggestion. I have a moss agate bracelet because it mentioned for gardeners in the description but yes crystals in the garden! It's funny how attitudes change to plants and its good too, yarrow is such a lovely plant for pollinators. It used to be the way to get rid of the insects and bugs but now were more switched on to the local ecosystem within our gardens, need all parts to be healthy 💚 -Ayesha
Hello Ladies, fellow Cones. Speaking of "weeds", I have to constantly tell my significant other that even weeds have a purpose and/or are medicinal. He rails about the wild violets of all things! and the lemon balm and my stinging nettle and my mullein. The last two I called to me and my garden/yard. The violets have been here as long as I've lived in this place. Lemon balm is also a native here. I love them all.
Wild violets are so beautiful, such a treat to see them in the wild but how lovely to have them in your garden! I love the idea of calling the plants to you 💚 -Ayesha
oh Elizabeth, that's annoying to navigate isn't it, have you explained all the good they can do in detail, maybe he just needs to learn, but some people are not willing, I love all your plant choices, they are beautiful - Ruby x
Ladies~ you are a breath of fresh air!! How grateful you pulled up in my queue... I have so been needing this type of connection! I have my little community garden plot, and it is saving my soul from all the nonsense out there in the Craft... blessings to you ~ looking forward to your next chat!
@@coffeewithcrones @coffeewithcrones thanks for asking! My 15' x 20' garden plot sits with about 50 other plots~ all gardeners doing their own version of gardening. Many are in rows, neat & tidy, plants spaced per the directions on the pkg. Not mine~ I've got flowers mixed in with veggies, volunteers flourishing (raspberries!), mint and peppermint growing in nooks and crannies~ borage and calendula popping up everywhere (ironic considering I have skin issues ;0)... Mother Earth has provided her own surprises also... roves of ladybugs and even a beautiful spider orbweaver... and yes, she has her space, and I have mine LOL. Trellis' are made from branches found on the ground, and I even have a repurposed brick path for the European flair... thank you for the opportunity to share~ wishing you much Love, Peace & Magic ! Thanks again for the lovely youtube video!
Wonderful podcast! I loved watching your lively interactions with each other and listening to your wisdom. I'm an energy/light worker, love gardening, love talking with trees and hearing their sacred wisdom, love the magic in myself, others, and the universe! Thank you!
Just broke into song...John Denver ...country roads ... and had a chuckle to myself it was my dads favourite tape foe car trips to the beach every Sunday, Thank you ! BB Cindy
As a N-divergent and introvert it's a pleasure to be a fly on the wall hearing your conversation. Now I will be studying the plants in my garden that I didn't know I could use. Thank you!
love that phrase "the daily grind" and it goes with the coffee theme! life does seem like a grind sometimes but once you've got through that it can be so sweet and pleasant. For me the trick is to grab the tiny moments in-between! BB Cindy
Haha I hear you! 😅 Yes the tyrrany of the 'shoulds' I have to practice being aware when I'm feeling a 'should' and that I have a choice. For when I'm feeling frustrated in the car, I chant and I repeat it slowly, the more frustrated I am the slower I do it 'om gam gana pataya namaha' (forgive misspelling) remover of obstacles, usually the obstacle is my own frustration 😅 but this helps me when I do it. Thanks for watching! -Ayesha
I could watch British ladies drink tea and talk about plants and gardening and magic all day. I'm half English (Sicilian) and we say on that side of the family that we are witches too!
I am a very seasonal person. Winter and summer have two different vibes in my house. I live in Australia, so of course the vibe is all beachy and sunshine. But the other side of me is more crone life like you lovely ladies. Im definately a mixture. My Grandfather was Irish he emigrated to Australia when he was 23. Maybe this is why I feel like I do. Love your channel.
I am so delighted to have coffee with crones literally show up here today on my youtube.feed...love it!!
residing in a basement apartment theses last 5 years without a garden has been hard, although i do have many houseplants. This year i was gifted a plot at local community garden in Canada. My neighbour gifted the plot to me as a single dad he wanted to learn about gardening so he got one too. It will be of ease for me to get back and forth to the garden as transportation is available from my neighbour. The first thing i did for my plot was create a garden altar/garden guardian. I am an Altar maker and this felt so wonderful to create this for my gardening journey that i thought was lost to me. Thank U ,U beautiful crones, i am grateful as I am also a crone.
Oh Rhonda, I am so glad you have a plot now, I can imagine how hard that would be without one, houseplants are amazing, but there is something more, having an outside space. What a brilliant neighbour you have too! I love that. - Ruby x
That sounds great! Let us know how the gardens develops. I love the Guardian idea I do something similar in my Greenhouse I Have a Sacred plant, Salvia divinorum, as my Greenhouse Guardian. Also think that each garden that we create is an altar to the Earth. Thats an amazing thought!! BB Cindy
I loved your video. I felt as if I was sitting at home chatting with friends. Thank you
ahh Janice, we are glad you feel that way - Ruby x
Yes! So glad you felt that way, just as we hoped it would be❤ Thankyou for joining us for a cuppa and for your comment -Ayesha
That's great, we would love to hear more about you and what your practice is, keep in touch and welcome to the coven. BB Cindy
This is so hygge 🥰
Thank you I love my studio so much - Ruby x
Love that word, it's so wholesome! BB Cindy
I loved being a fly on your wall during your chat, it was so different than other magical channels. Refreshing. Thank you ❤
that is so good to hear, thanks for watching - Ruby x
Thankyou for joining us in our chat and glad you enjoyed it 🙂 -Ayesha
We are here to show up as we are, no fluff and no BS, we all are magic all the time! That's what we want to spread, Thank you for your kind words! BB Cindy
i grab a hot coco and watch you talk . Feels like i am with a group of friends talking about what we love and sharing our knowledge. Thank you for sharing. Maybe a chat about pookas and brwonies etc coming for the spring time.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you feel like that. - Ruby
Thanks for your comment and joining us for a cuppa and a chat round the table. That's exactly what we were hoping to do 😀
Thanks for the suggestion about pooka and brownies, I don't know too much about them but I'm curious to know more! -Ayesha
Welcome, good to have you round the table! BB Cindy
I am of strong Celtic ancestors. Having trouble with high blood pressure and men’s chemical meds and I do not get along well. While sitting at the store one day, I received a thought of Hawthorn, so off I went in search and started taking hawthorn and down my pressure went! I so appreciate the medicines that are given to us naturally and I even appreciate the wisdom you three ladies share! Keep it coming, I’m growing wiser by the minute!
wow Denise, that's really amazing, I love that you had that download to help you. Nature is wonderful isn't it - Ruby x
Just being in green spaces is a tonic 💚 it's amazing being drawn to something, then when finding out about it, realising that's what was needed. Love those moments of serendipity! -Ayesha
Welcome Denise! So pleased that the Hawthorn spoke to you, its a great plant. I make my tincture with all the parts, I harvest the new leaves and flowers in the spring and shake once a day, then after 3 months strain and add the leaves again and in the Autumn, I add the Berries, this makes a really whole medicine I find. I also out the berries into a salad. BB Cindy
You could also try massage and lymphatic massage. All natural also. Just not as cool as these ladies and what they do!❤😂
Let food be thy medicine, I went whole foods plant based 8 mos ago and am about to discard my Lisinaprill. Lost 40 lbs, BP went from stroke level to 117/ 74 ❤
I hope everyone here follows and appreciates the incredible Irish Greenwitch Collette, of Bealtaine Cottage. This year is the 20th anniversary of her 3-acre Permaculture forest, single - handedly planted by her. So glad to see more Crones on UA-cam! ❤
I do! I also enjoy watching Danu's Irish herb garden too, and they are friends 💚 -Ayesha
Ruby just introduced me to her channel a few weeks ago! What an awesome space, totally admire her work. BB Cindy
Dandelion as the sun, moon and stars - 👌🏾
Dandelions are amazing! I love finding out more about the humble yet incredible dandelion. Adding this association of sun, moon and stars, I agree Cora! - 👌
Yes, such an energetic tonic of a plant. Vibrant and nurturing , BB cindy
A chat about creativity would be lovely. Many thanks to you all from a lavender lover who likes to wear purple and dance in the wind.
thank you Brigid, that is a great idea. - Ruby
We are definitely all about creativity so I'm fairly sure we will be having a creative chat! Thankyou for the topic suggestion, your lavender wind dancer description inspires a painting, I'm not a painter but I want to! 💜 -Ayesha
All three of us are very creative so yes, its defo on the list, embracing the unique Creatrix that resides within all of us and exploring how we express her !!! BB Cindy
The way I rushed to subscribe without even watching the video first! I love it! ✨❤🌿
Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoyed watching too! 😅 -Ayesha
So did I!!!
Ditto!!!
Okay, Ladies, this is like a gift from the Goddess Herself! I know there are millions of us loving our Crone-selves, and just itching to share with a like-minded community!
So nice to connect with like minded others 💚 thanks for watching! -Ayesha
I love that Stacy, thanks for being part of it - Ruby x
A gorgeous community of like-minded souls! BB Cindy
I'm back, a week later, watching again! I think this is the first time I have been in at the start of a new channel. At 62, it is just mind blowing to me how far we've come, as Witches, in my lifetime. I started practicing at 13, but had to keep my beliefs private for years. I belonged to a couple of covens, also in secret. I went public with my own practice about 30 years ago, and was reasonably well received, but now...Witchcraft and Paganism are the fastest growing Spiritual practices in the world! And here we are chatting about it on Social Media! What an exciting time to be alive!
shivers all through the videos. magical and powerful women, thank you
Please do more of these long witchy nature chats. SO relaxing and interesting while working on heavy paperwork.
hi moonbeam, we are recording tonight, so watch out for a new one coming - Ruby
Couldn’t agree more!!!! Just resting and listening and watching is incredibly therapeutic and healing for me ❤️🩹thank you so much for this !!!!!! Please do more videos of romanticizing your life with nature and love and light ❤
I love that you are mature women like me sharing your experiences with spirituality and the magic all around us.❤
We are glad you are enjoying it Kelly, thank you for watching - Ruby x
Thanks for your message Kelly, glad you found us here ☕️ - Ayesha
Thank you, Kelly, it's time we all stepped forward and started putting ourselves out there, I want to pass on my love of all things Earthy and I feel sad sometimes that my line ends with me! BB Cindy
Drinking coffee and watching as it rains outside. I love these topics ladies, I can relate so much. Blessed Be
Thanks Heather, I am glad you had a cosy day watching. - Ruby x
Thanks for joining us for a cosy cuppa ☕️ -Ayesha
Merry meet Heather and welcome! Thank you for your message! BBCindy
Suggestion: would you all like to talk about play as a key to magick/creativity. I have consciously cultivated a spirit of play, but I notice that people around me don't seem to tap into playfulness easily. Play as in wonder, imagination, whimsy, creativity, thinking outside the box, humor ... kind of a broad spectrum of energy. I find play opens energetic pathways, spiritually, creatively, and lightens my spirit. Maybe, this is a topic you would like to chat about. Love what you all are doing!
that is a perfect suggestion! I am totally all about play, curiosity and being silly, I have never thought of it as a key to magic before, even though I know its key to creativity, but you are spot on, it really is. I'm excited to chat about this is with the crones - Ruby x
Let us play! ❤😂
I know I sometimes push back from this in my practice so yes it would be a good challenge to work with and feedback on. BB Cindy
This is an interesting topic! Play is so helpful to flow state and creativity making insired connections, so it makes sense that it would be helpful to magical practice exactly as you say raising energy and raising our vibe! Thanks for this suggestion I will be pondering this, as so often being time bound and set on achieving an intention, this does not allow space and time for playfulness. Interesting! -Ayesha
Here's a story of what's growing is what you need. I was emotionally sick to my stomach, so I went out into the yard and asked for help with this, to show me what I need. When I looked up, it was directly at Wisteria, whose flower essence is good for women healing from men's abuse. It worked too.
I'm only a few minutes in and adore you 3. If I'm "spiritual" and honor the elements (earth to ether), I do follow the calm and chaos of that. Mother Earth is not light, positive, and airy all the time. Sometimes she is in a rage not just becasue of what humans muck up but because she understands as a whole a shift is needed. Existing on this planet at any time, as we know it, can't survive one way or the other. It breaks my heart to see animals eat other animals, fires burn down forests, water dry up or cause floods, and so on. Yet, it's what reincarnates this super dense (material) experience. I'm just sharing my thoughts I have at the moment :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they are great to read - Ruby
All my witches say hey!!!!! Greetings beauties from the Appalachian hills and forest❤
What a lovely channel! Thank you ladies! I wish I could find like minded friends to connect with in this way. I'm always the odd 'witchy' one, and it can feel lonely at times. This makes me long for that connection with 'others' who are the same. It's a beautiful thing to be able to be understood by like minded souls and just chat about these magical things. So thank you for letting me sit in and join you 🙏🏽😊 love and blessings to everyone who reads this. Stay magical! ✨🍄🧙🏽♀️🌿
I wish that for you too Michelle, Ayesha and I only just met not that long ago, through Cindy, and you are right it can feel lonely, I am sure there will be like minded ladies near you, it’s the finding them that is tricky, you are always welcome at the table with us - Ruby x
Hi Michelle... Me too 🧙
Thank you Ruby!! ✨🙏🏽@@DottyDelightful
@@charlenegarcia5144sending you a big hug Charlene ✨🤗🧙🏽♀️
I totally get the lonely bit, it took me a long time to find my tribe/ sisterhood it's so good when you do though it's like you can breathe! BB Cindy
Stumbled or shall I say guided to your video!
RN who has stepped away years ago to align with my truth….nature!
Live off grid in a yurt in the mountains of northern Idaho with gardens, chickens geese pigs soon goats, milk cow and donkeys/pony!
Always extending my herbal garden and wild foraging!
My return to the re-wilding of myself and remembering my medicine/gifts! Turned 52 in March and now is our time to raise the frequency of the truth of love. Our connection to Mother Earth and her medicine is what is needed more than ever before. Coffee with Crones…..just lovely 💫✨🫶🏻🪄🤍
ohh your life and home sounds amazing!! what a dream, I love that you have changed your life to align with your truth, I can just imagine how peaceful it is. - Ruby x
Living in a yurt in Idaho with Chickens, donkey, critters and a garden. Can I move in? Lol
This sounds absolutely wonderful! We are the same age and I work in the medical field as well and I long for the chance to get away from it all. For now I get to play with herbs in my kitchen in Ohio, sigh
Your spot on this wonderful Earth sounds absolutely blissfull, I had a small holding for several years and hope to go back to that way of life when I retire. I do try to grow as much as I can with the space that I have. BB Cindy
Girls my age with same interests! Love this ❤️🙏
My mental health is much better when I can find that mindfulness space. And the key to it is observation without judgment. So if my thoughts start going of track I observe. And it helps in the beginning to say it out loud, like "oh, I'm worried about x". I don't judge that, it just is. Then I move on. It's very powerful. And I went thru a lot of years thinking I knew all about mindfulness before I actually understood it. There is a shift once you move from knowing to understanding that you don't comprehend until you are there.
Yes! I love that you have shared this with us, the observation is so important, I was having a bit of a day today, and
I did just that,
I realised after observing that I hadn’t slept well and not eaten properly, and that’s why I felt so emotional. Thanks for your words Amanda, they will be helpful for people to read. - Ruby
@@DottyDelightful yay. Glad I helped with that timely reminder!
This is really helpful, thank you xx. I've recently started trying to meditate on the breath (have always been rubbish at meditating but this seems to be working), what I need to find is a way to see the effects of other peoples' dramas as if from a distance, rather than feeling my blood pressure skyrocket. BB
What wonderful feedback, yes observation without judgement is key! I feel the same you think you know it and then suddenly when you do fully know you realise that you didn't really get it at all! BB Cindy
@@denisehill7769 it took me a really long time, but I can do that, be the observer not the participant, I say things like 'not my circus, not my monkeys' and 'I don't have to get involved', it reminds me that is actually nothing to do with me (unless it was cruelty etc) and that helps my head.
OH FRICK YEAH!!!!! A channel about older ( well not 20 year old 'influencers' ) women, crones that love all of the things I love, I am so excited!! Coffee with Crones is a BRILLIANT idea. This is magic.A cup of chai, dogs cuddled up to me, hanging with my new friends. I love The Good Life, fave show as a teen and is such a comfort show! I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago and since I have never felt better or happier, I didn't realise how sick I was from anemia, I have been in the garden all day every day. I would love to see your gardens. Also would love to hear more about your fave books and shows and any podcast you like? Very interesting point about plants growing around you that you need.. I have nasturtiums coming up by the thousands through my garden and I have just had a thought.. because of my anemia I have 'Pica', a condition where you get intense cravings for usually non food items like rocks/dirt, my craving is strong intense antiseptic type tasting things like eucalyptus oil and now cardamon seeds, I eat kilos of them and it has done a lot of damage to my teeth that I am having to deal with BUT ...I am thinking I should use nasturtium seeds to chew on and try to satisfy that crazy craving! Of course morning dew on plants would be like Bach flower remedies! Brilliant tip. Fantastic to hear that there is a facebook page for us all to meet I am so happy that this popped up in my recommended! Big love to you ladies❤❤❤
oh wow thanks for being here and being so enthusiastic about our channel, that makes us super happy! Great ideas for topics for future episodes, so thanks for asking. that's is so interesting about the Nasturtiums, and a really good idea too. Me and my friend Chris (also a Witch) made a video about our favourite books - ua-cam.com/video/_mUrd9aBaz8/v-deo.htmlsi=QR0nqwLFwKk0Hmpj in case you fancied watching it. Have a great evening - Ruby x
I love nasturtiums! I haven't tried eating them yet but ive seen them being used in salads, they are supposed to be a bit peppery and the seeds are a bit like capers? Check for allergies first of course 😅
Last time I grew nasturtiums they got eaten by a LOT of catterpillars 😂 but I'm fine with this. There will have been some happy birds and lots of butterflies that year!
My garden is a bit of a muddy blank slate at the moment but I'm going to dig out my nasturtium seeds for sure! Hope your garden time continues to aid your recovery from your op and thanks for your comment! -Ayesha
Chai and Dogs! What more could you want? Absolute bliss! Yes, the garden is such a phenomenal space to reconnect with ourselves, to be still and to hear what our bodies are saying! I love sitting in the sun (I'm originally from South Africa) closing my eyes and just breathing deeply. BB Cindy
Words will sometimes reveal secrets that our logical mind does not believe or authenticate...is something spelling a message ? I have noticed that 'to eat soil' , letters rearranged, says, 'isolate'. Whether one should isolate and enjoy the luxury, or whether it could be a statement about early childhood or something, I don't know. And I do know that everything found in rearranged spellings is not true....but in my experience, it often is ,uncannily, something that is happening, ir something that science is just discovering. Is spelling ...casting spells?? Of course, dogs and chai, that's perfect already. Enjoy your day!💛 Oh! I forgot the obvious! 'I eat oils' is spelled in there, so I'm thinking, seeds! The oil in seeds might have nutrients that your body is craving! Sprouted pumpkin seeds are great!
@@zivauri Thank you so much for this comment, ohhh now that is some great info!.
My dearest Crones, how delightful I was when I returned to bed with my hot cuppa (after sorting and folding the washing) to read my book when I was researching something on my phone, open UA-cam and there you were. I placed my book aside and enjoyed my cuppa listening to you all. I am at the stage in my life where I am reassessing withdrawing from my career to dedicate myself fully to my souls desire - gardening/plant medicine, and connecting with Mother Earth is where I am totally being drawn to - so I look forward to listening, learning and where possible sharing with all. You have made my day🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
Thanks for watching Mary and for your lovely comment! What a lovely change to plan for, to follow what brings you joy 💚 -Ayesha
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 totally enjoy the authenticity of the “coffee with crones” session, have share with friends so hopefully you will get great support from Australia. I have actually started a journal with your name on it for reference notes. Am totally grateful for the universe guidance. My love and gratitude to you all🙏🏻♥️💋♥️🙏🏻
The world is in a very precarious spot right now and it seems to me, that many women of our generation are looking for how we were raised in nature and trying to find our way back. I for one grew up in the country, still living in the farmhouse my grandparents bought 111 years ago! Finding solace in nature is mind and life saving.
How lovely to hear from you Mary! I really felt connected to you for a moment there, mmmm, the beauty of taking your time to reemerge into the world and recreate yourself with bliss. Brightest blessings on your path! BB Cindy
The journey of navigating through the shadows is and amazing learning gift 🤔👼🤔for we need light and darkness to find and connect with our divine authentic self, regardless that it can be a shit show some days, the art is to float above the it, and agree that one gets better, more comfortable, wiser with age🤪🤪 can’t wait for the next session. Have a beautiful day🙏🏻♥️💋♥️🙏🏻
I do hope you will have a chat about Terry Pratchett's wonderful "witchy" books, and his celebration of Crones!
Thankyiu for the nudge! I'm a latecomer to Terry Pratchett, always meant to read his books but somehow never got there! I've been gathering his books from charity shops, please recommend your favourite celebratory witchy crone books! 😃 -Ayesha
I’ve always thought I should start reading his books!
I saw the first hummingbird of the season yesterday and a firefly last night, Apr 13. It was magical.
oh wow, I haven't seen a Hummingbird or firefly in real life, I bet that is amazing - Ruby x
How did I know that it would be you that would respond? I just did, and thank you.
Wow! Hummingbirds are amazing! How lucky to have them native to you. Fireflies are a magical sight 🤩 thankyou! -Ayesha
Hello, that's marvelous! it's been a while since I've seen a firefly. I love their energy. BB cindy
🌱 “the dew on plants is vibrational medicine” ✨🧚🏾♀️
What are your thoughts on that? We love to hear from you! BB Cindy
I live in Asia and remember my eldest sister who apprenticed with one of my grandmothers, making potions using dew collected from flowers and leaves. She has forgotten about it...being hocusy pocusy and frowned upon by 'religion'.
In some latino tradicions the believe is that dew holds the energy of healing, since it brings life to soil and feeds all plants.

I’m so happy,I just found you guys!
Thankyou for watching! Glad you found us here 👋 -Ayesha
What a beautiful idea!! Hello from Idaho, USA! I am 30 years old and in my neck of the woods it is all very religious. Mormanism, Amish, Mennonites, Christianity is big here. I have made some wonderful religious friends but nothing like what I left. I left a wonderful group of spiritual women before I moved to the mountains and I wonder how long do I have to wait for some witchy women to come into my life for deep conversation?! This feeds my soul to watch this video. Many thanks!
It's so lovely to read all these comments and know there are so many others who feel this too and joining us round the table where it might not be possible in real life. Glad you found us here and we will share a brew and a chat again soon 😃 - Ayesha
I just found you and subbed right away. I love nature and use almost exclusively natural remedies for EVERYTHING. One concern is that a lot of us mature ladies have downsized and have no garden so I hope you will embrace subjects other than gardening on your channel. Congrats on your new yt endeavor ❤
Hermiston Oregon here. A local lady close to her eis she is of the woods, she teaches herbalism and such. Blessings beautiful souls. I just came across this chanel first time today how wonderful and perfect garden topic and conversation. Thank you

I know Magick is real! I have experienced it. I follow the Norse Pagan path, but I know magick when I see it. I salute you ladies!
Thank you - Ruby
This is just the thing. I could listen to you all talk all day. I'm a green witch who lost my friends over the past decade the more I come into myself. I come from a Southern, conservative culture but have moved since. It's been hard to lose connection with other that fear what I believe but nice to come into myself. Listening to this made me feel like I had friends again. Thanks so much. Can't wait for the next one.
Isn't it liberating that as we get more into who we truly are, old connections that don't serve us fall away. To me it really says more about the fact that on an energetic level they maybe not have been true friends anyway. Family well now that's a whole other story ! BB Cindy
I’m in very rural east Texas & know exactly what you are conveying. I wish I could trust anyone here to seek a companion. But companionship is not worth the risk to what I have at my homestead in the woods. The empowerment I am finally achieving & sustaining is more important. All my life I have dreamed of this life I am living now with no one lording over me and all my energy that I cultivate is mine to spend any way I want without judgments or interference from others. The sacrifices I had to make on my journey to get here are staggering beyond the comprehension of anyone I ever meet. So why would I allow some country simpleton to come and undo it all with her pockets full of good intentions and a head full of preconceived notions? It’s already taken me 2 1/2 years to achieve the wonderful title of “that crazy old cat lady that lives down the road” so that the little hooligans in the neighborhood are afraid of me and their parents no longer acknowledge my presence. Things couldn’t be better! So if Goddess should decide there is a suitable companion in my future I certainly do keep my mind open to it, but I am not seeking because in this region just to put the energy out there for people contact of any sort is dangerous. In this political insanity we live in as Americans lately, my very life depends on keeping my broom under the radar. I can’t even accomplish a proper acquaintance in this region, let alone any type of friendship. But every time I open my front door and I’m greeted with the sounds & smells of the pine forest and Eagles overhead… I realize I just don’t need anyone else anymore. My life is all about the great lady now. Frankly, I’m much too busy and anyone I do meet would have to be OK with joining in because I’m not leaving here except for once a month to go to town for supplies. I highly doubt I’m going to find anyone who fits that requirement. But Goddess has done greater miracles so I watch… I wait… I will see.
I’m in Alabama, I resonate with that 💯!
It is so heartening to make these connections. To find people of a similar mindset who want to tread gently and experience the wonder, when theres so much to distract. It's so good to meet round the table and realise there are others out there like us 💚 merry meet! -Ayesha
@@chelseacraft4669 Thank you for sharing all of that! I can so relate! I also live on a homestead surrounded by woods in Colorado and don't see much of anyone but really enjoy spending time with the trees and my plants. It's such a peaceful life. It also keeps me busy but it's such meaningful and spiritual work, working with Mother Earth. I couldn't dream of doing anything else. So happy to imagine other like you living similarly. 💜
Please do more. There's such a crazy knowledge gap online it's great to hear from women that have been in it for years
Yup, we are here to stay, getting together next week for a brew so tuned. BB Cindy

Your video found me on a day of anger. I needed it more than i first realized. Thank you, Crones. Silently, in the damp forests of Pennsylvania, there lives a new admirer; taking his days as they arrive, hoping they depart friends. Embracing both shadows and light, please accept my greeting and thanks for letting us listen in.

Thankyou for watching ☕️ -Ayesha
Your channel popped into my view this morning. At first I found the three of you so refreshing to listen to and then I started learning things that I didn't know. The longer I watched the more apparent it became that I have been disconnected for at least 20 years from the things that used to give me such joy that I started balling my eyes out. I have been working on with my shadow side, healing my inner child and taking back my personal power. Thank you so very much for showing me another aspect of myself to strengthen and heal. Blessings to you all.
I know what you mean! Life gets in the way sometimes and I'm trying to get better at making the time for the things that bring me joy. Thanks for watching and best wishes for your healing journey 💚- Ayesha
I just stumbled upon this, and I feel it was meant to be. Loved enjoying and benefitting from this space. More power to the crones.
Well, this is a lovely surprise! I love it when 'They' introduce me to new experiences 😊 I live in the Pacific North West of the US in Oregon. Here is my daily 'prayer'... I don't know the author.
when I doubt, show me my strength;
when I am wrong, show me the right path;
light the crossroads before me that I may see my way
Queen of transitions, Guardian of doorways
Hecate, bless my Journeys
through Dark and Dawn; Day and Dusk
help me to bring into balance the forces within myself
light and dark, above and below
as a coin cannot have only one side,
I am not whole one without the other.
Blessed be! ❤
Hello! So glad to hear from you, it's great when you know that "they" actually are there and that when you sat "they" to some people they don't bat an eyelid because they know that "they" exist! LOL BB Cindy
I love those moments of serendipity when something unexpected turns up and it's just what you need, even if you didn't know it! Thankyou for sharing your daily prayer and the honouring of balance within it. Also makes me think of seeds being nourished and nurtured in the dark and dirt of the earth to emerge and grow true to itself 💚 Ayesha
Beautiful ❤
Great chat!
Just Be Magic❤️
This has absolutely made my day, if not week,possibly year to be honest!!!! 😁🥰 Being a 40 year old Crone myself, this channel ticks all of the boxes. Never felt so at home/connected watching a UA-cam video. Can't wait for the next installment..Already completely "in love" with this channel and you three,lovely ladies. Thank you so much.. 😊🤗😘
Mwah! That's so lovely to hear, I have been hatching this idea for some time but didn't want to do it on my own, too much ego, so it took a while to get it together but I'm so glad we did! BB Cindy
Beautiful space Ruby❤
I love your ending rhyme! Don’t change it
Thankyou for watching! It was a pleasure to be in Ruby's studio, hope you saw the short video tour Ruby posted 💚 the rhyme at the end makes me smile, if we can remember it! 😅 -Ayesha
thank you Kim x
Hello from Sisters, Oregon. There are nearby snowy mountains, rivers and streams, and on the cusp of high desert with ponderosa pines and endless sage. I was here last year walking and listening to Clarrissa Pinkola Estes stories from her How to be a Crone collection. A transformational listen. (Women who Run with the Wolves author). I'm back a year later, and in the meantime, after a lifetime with spiritual touchstones, the pervading love of intuition has come calling in a powerful, heartening way! Walking here again, it's as if the beings of her stories have come to life in the forest in the form of memories. It's been 3 years of travel focusing on nature in search of a new place to land to have a garden and pond! The very considerations of my dreams, thank you!
Sounds like an amazing journey and a beautiful place to call you back! I will look up the how to be a crone by Clarisa Pinkola Estes. How fantastic to enhance your travels with stories that immerse you and connect you 💚 I have She who runs with wolves on my to read pile. Thanks for joining us here ☕️- Ayesha
hi Jane, ohh I love Sisters, I follow an artist, Kelly Rae Roberts who lives in Sisters, it looks like such a wonderful place to live, it has been a dream of mine to visit Oregon for many years - Ruby x
I can feel your Magick, you are helping me feel mine 💖 I love my herb garden it's tiny, but it is a complete Joy to my Soul 💕🌱🌳
Thankyou! Gardening is joy for the soul however small our green patch is 💚 - Ayesha
Hola! You are marvelous inspiration, Ladies! I am filled with joy to see more of us speaking out on the Love, Wisdom, & Magic we receive from our Earth Mother. Please keep sharing! Thank-you and Namaste!
Thankyou for your lovely comment, so glad you found us here. Our Mother Earth has so much wisdom to share when we take the time to tune in and listen. Merry meet! -Ayesha
Brightest Blessings to you! Cindy
Beautiful! I love the moon lamp 😍
It is lovely! Thanks for watching ☕️ -Ayesha
I am delighted to have been shown the path to your youtube channel. I work with the earths magic through Reiki, Crystals, herbalism also trained in Shamanism follow the moon and the wheel of the year. I am starting this year to garden by the moon. I am considered weird by my family and people I know but I embrace this. I also work with and talk to animals and plants mentally and physically. I feel so blessed by these gifts I have been given.
Thank you for sharing more about you, it’s nice to get to know you - Ruby
Merry meet! Welcome to the table, we hope to hear more from you BB Cindy
From Byron Bay
NSW, Australia 🇦🇺
Lovely to meet you all.
So glad to find you. x
lovely to meet you too Jody - Ruby x
Wow. Thank you so much. I live in switzerland and i practise prayers zeremonies music in nature and for the trees fpr everything. Also we create medicine from "fallen" gifts from the forest And i wish that i can connect with others. But today i had the vision that farmers was interested in that kind of "carring" and than we created a small circe in the village wirh medicine and all this singing. I hope you could understand . My english is not very well. ❤❤❤❤❤ big hug
Thankyou for your message, so lovely to hear what you do in your home town. Singing with others is a great way to connect. I hope you got a good response and want to do more 💚 -Ayesha
There are younger people like me who are admiring you, and we'll learn to be at our higher most natural vibration earlier and earlier. Thank you. I just turned twenty four two days ago and I desire more magic, connection to life, god, Soul, Healing more and more all the time. The energy dip from the toils of life is something I am seriously Not wanting to passively take part in or continue going with out sharpening my intuitive abilities. My parent didn't teach me how important that is and personally i think spiritual awakening during this time for people in my phase of life is Absolutely crazy and weird but It's really nice to have so many elders to learn from and relate to.
Oh lovely this is so good to read, wow you are half my age and I am so glad you are already on this path, you will be leaps ahead of others and that’s amazing because you can make life exactly how you desire it to be, thank you for watching, that has really made my day - Ruby
Dearest you are not SUPPOSED TO BE anything except exactly what you are. You are ALSO a physical entity,with emotions, and thoughts, and physical feelings. Don't bash yourself for being what you are. You are beautiful and lovely and absolutely perfect the way you are. Be YOU,ALL OF YOU.
Thanks for your comment. I feel like that's part of the journey to crone is accepting ourselves exactly as we are, 'flaws' and all 💚 -Ayesha
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 my darling,you may accept what you are. It's much easier to deal with reality than self deception. In accepting ones self ,for all your faults and imperfections, navigation is easier
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 all is balance.
I’m very glad I came across this 🖤
So pleased to see your channel having such an impact, with so many views! Lovely to sit in on your conversations. Wishing you all the best from a fellow gardener!
Thankyou for your message fellow gardener! It's amazing to read all the lovely comments, thanks for watching -Ayesha
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 Thank you! You have so many comments I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I have far fewer subscribers and comments, and it's a lot to keep up with!
What a delightful video and channel you have! From the camera position it feels like I'm sitting at the cosy table myself listening to wisdom from you wonderful folk
you are so welcome round our table at any time - Ruby xx
Very nice to see this lovely group engaging in conversation that makes sense and is positive. Thank you.
thanks for watching Nancy - Ruby x
Thankyou for your comment and for joining us round the table Nancy ☕️ -Ayesha
Hi Nancy, glad you think we make sense, I struggle to understand my self sometimes when I'm explaining things or how I perceive things! So, it's nice to have folk around the table that get you! BB Cindy
I believe nothing is by chance and feel I was led to you amazing ladies, everything that you talked about resonated with me and I could feel my creativity and vibrations raising and to be honest I was struggling with dreaded anxiety today but felt it fade away while listening, thank you so much and please keep the videos coming.....loved, loved, loved it!!! ☀🌙🌠💞
Merry meet, my witchy friends ❤. I loved your uplifting video. I am a solitary practitioner, of forty years, and have always thought that "THINGS" all over my altar, were just that...... things. Some symbolism is to help me keep the focus at hand. Keep them coming!
dawngoddess, from Canada
Love that! Thanks for sharing with us and watching too - Ruby
Blessings from Florida USA. I love the garden video. I’d love garden tours.
Thankyou! Garden tour is an interesting idea 😃 -Ayesha
This was so delightful, having tea with friends.
Awesome, we are glad you could join us - Ruby
Simple living and appreciating the moment, I get out in nature whenever I can. Woods at this time of year are magical
Yes! Especially when the bluebells are out, makes woodlands feel extra magical 🥰 -Ayesha
We went to the woods last night(see the short video I just posted) so good to be outside! BB Cindy
Hello from South Africa, it feels like i found 3 new friends. Yay to the crones & wise owls!
Hello to you in South Africa 👋 thanks for watching! -Ayesha
Hello Marika, lovely to meet you - Ruby x
I love your cozy corner, so tired of minimalism. Your place looks lived in.
It certainly is a feast for the eyes and heart in Ruby's studio! I like the idea of minimalism for calmness but im a maximalist at heart -Ayesha
Now I'm in love with dandelions!
Dandelions are amazing! 💛🌞Thanks for watching! -Ayesha
Love, love, love learning from you ladies... thank you for sharing...❤

Oooh ❤❤❤ thank you UA-cam algorithm ❤❤❤ immediately subscribed ❤❤❤
Thanks for subbing!
This channel came across my art videos. I’m a Canadian living in the very hot dry tropics of Panama SA. It’s hard to grow things where I live in this country but I do have nice tropical plants and flowers around. I’m an intuitive artist and a yoga teacher. I meditate and do tapping every morning to face this world/mud. I’m very blessed being retired and doing what I want to do. I’m glad to have found you all because I live a very isolated life here with 20 rescued cats from the streets. I love being outside and connecting to my environment. Unfortunately we can’t have open water around due to dengue in this country but I do get big toads visiting the cats water dishes! Looking forward to your videos. Massive love and light to all here!
Thankyou for watching from Panama!, glad you enjoyed it.
How lovely that you've given a home to 20 cats! I'm a cat person and imagine I'll have lots of cats one day, my 2 will do for now 😸 -Ayesha
Beautiful- The power of 3 🌞🫶🏼🧚🏾👑🌍
3 is a magic number 😄 💚💚💚-Ayesha
Yes it is I like to choose numbers, dates and times carefully and often end up booking things in on a 3 date. BB Cindy
It is great to tune into this conversation. I'm very isolated socially, and it is comforting to hear your chatter. Please keep them coming👭
So glad you found us here and found some comfort in our chat, that's so lovely to know. Thanks for your message and for joining us at the table for a cuppa. -Ayesha
Wow this is the channel for me. I love this! Thank you!❤

Perfect timing as I sit here with my 2nd hazelnut latte preparing to get out in my gardens! I am loving this channel so much already! Bright Blessings from Texas 💜🍄🔮🍄💜
Ohh I hope you had a great time in the garden, it’s been raining here a lot, please send some good Texan weather over - Ruby x
Hello fellow Hazelnut Latte, yes as Ruby says it has been so wet here in the NW England, we are hoping for some respite from it soon! BB Cindy
Hello! So nice to get out in the garden, it's been a very wet start to the spring but loving the signs of spring and birdsong in the morning tempting me outside 💚 so glad you've joined us here! - Ayesha
Please do more of these !!!

Welcome to the table, Renee BB cindy
❤❤❤
You guys are a gift to UA-cam and humanity overall, right now. Blessed be! 🤩🤗
what an absolutely lovely thing to say, thank you so much - Ruby x
Where have you been? Thank you for the kind invitation into your world. I too am a Crone but a bit older. I recently started drinking Meadowsweet tea for my Arthritis and joint pain. Its also good for heartburn, ulcers, colds, and diuretic for kidney and bladder infections. Anti-inflammatory as well. ♓️💐🌹🌷Its Spring here in Michigan.
welcome lovely, it is so good to have you here, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us about Meadowsweet, it's wonderful - Ruby x
Thank you for the information about Meadowsweet.
The improvement of the video quality since the last video was impressive!
Thankyou for watching and for your feedback! We're finding our way with the technical side so hopefully will continue to improve 😊 -Ayesha
oooooOOOOOO! Crystals for the garden would be a WONDERfuLL topic - to invite the magik in and keep the dogs out. YARROW... hard to believe that a gardening encyclopedia I had back in the '90s featured this wonderful plant as an "invasive weed," and how to get rid of it. BLESSINGS to you lovely ladies! 🙏
Thanks for the topic suggestion. I have a moss agate bracelet because it mentioned for gardeners in the description but yes crystals in the garden!
It's funny how attitudes change to plants and its good too, yarrow is such a lovely plant for pollinators. It used to be the way to get rid of the insects and bugs but now were more switched on to the local ecosystem within our gardens, need all parts to be healthy 💚 -Ayesha
Hello Ladies, fellow Cones. Speaking of "weeds", I have to constantly tell my significant other that even weeds have a purpose and/or are medicinal. He rails about the wild violets of all things! and the lemon balm and my stinging nettle and my mullein. The last two I called to me and my garden/yard. The violets have been here as long as I've lived in this place. Lemon balm is also a native here. I love them all.
Wild violets are so beautiful, such a treat to see them in the wild but how lovely to have them in your garden! I love the idea of calling the plants to you 💚 -Ayesha
oh Elizabeth, that's annoying to navigate isn't it, have you explained all the good they can do in detail, maybe he just needs to learn, but some people are not willing, I love all your plant choices, they are beautiful - Ruby x
I most definitely felt guided to you. Wish I could be with you! I 'm a plant whisperer from the USA. Love ❤️ you ladies!
Ladies~ you are a breath of fresh air!! How grateful you pulled up in my queue... I have so been needing this type of connection! I have my little community garden plot, and it is saving my soul from all the nonsense out there in the Craft... blessings to you ~ looking forward to your next chat!
Welcome to the table, we are so blessed to have you here, please share more about your garden plot, BB Cindy
@@coffeewithcrones @coffeewithcrones thanks for asking! My 15' x 20' garden plot sits with about 50 other plots~ all gardeners doing their own version of gardening. Many are in rows, neat & tidy, plants spaced per the directions on the pkg. Not mine~ I've got flowers mixed in with veggies, volunteers flourishing (raspberries!), mint and peppermint growing in nooks and crannies~ borage and calendula popping up everywhere (ironic considering I have skin issues ;0)... Mother Earth has provided her own surprises also... roves of ladybugs and even a beautiful spider orbweaver... and yes, she has her space, and I have mine LOL. Trellis' are made from branches found on the ground, and I even have a repurposed brick path for the European flair... thank you for the opportunity to share~ wishing you much Love, Peace & Magic ! Thanks again for the lovely youtube video!
Wonderful podcast! I loved watching your lively interactions with each other and listening to your wisdom. I'm an energy/light worker, love gardening, love talking with trees and hearing their sacred wisdom, love the magic in myself, others, and the universe! Thank you!
Thankyou for watching! 💚 -Ayesha
So delighted to have stumbled upon your video! Can't wait to see more while watching from a lonely mountaintop in Appalachia.
Hi @KristiStraw , I'm on my own mountain in East Tennessee! I'm a free-range chicken mama, so I'm never lonely !
Just broke into song...John Denver ...country roads ... and had a chuckle to myself it was my dads favourite tape foe car trips to the beach every Sunday, Thank you ! BB Cindy
Hello!👋 So glad you found us here I'm amazed at the far flung places we are reaching 💚 -Ayesha
As a N-divergent and introvert it's a pleasure to be a fly on the wall hearing your conversation. Now I will be studying the plants in my garden that I didn't know I could use. Thank you!
Welcome aboard! Me and Cindy and ( we suspect Ayesha) are ND too - Ruby x
Mphepo!! How beautiful that African sage made herself known. I had truthbumps!! I love this conversation.
Hello..from California..love this! ❤
Love the channel! Thank you all ❤
Love from a Dublin Irish crone looking for peace while in rhe daily grind. Great to meet you all.❤
Hi Helen, thanks for being here, great to meet you too. - Ruby
Hello to you in Dublin! Thanks for watching!
love that phrase "the daily grind" and it goes with the coffee theme! life does seem like a grind sometimes but once you've got through that it can be so sweet and pleasant. For me the trick is to grab the tiny moments in-between! BB Cindy
Oh my! You are all wonderful! I get it when you were talking about how “you should be”. I think about how I need to stop with the road rage😂😂😂
Haha I hear you! 😅 Yes the tyrrany of the 'shoulds' I have to practice being aware when I'm feeling a 'should' and that I have a choice. For when I'm feeling frustrated in the car, I chant and I repeat it slowly, the more frustrated I am the slower I do it 'om gam gana pataya namaha' (forgive misspelling) remover of obstacles, usually the obstacle is my own frustration 😅 but this helps me when I do it. Thanks for watching! -Ayesha
hahaha I don't drive yet but I reckon I would have that too - Ruby x
I could watch British ladies drink tea and talk about plants and gardening and magic all day. I'm half English (Sicilian) and we say on that side of the family that we are witches too!
Keep an eye out for more x
Love this!❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou! And thanks for watching -Ayesha
Thank you for doing this. Delightful in so many ways. It felt like sitting and chatting with dear friends.
Thankyou! Thats just how we wanted it to feel, glad you enjoyed it 👋☕️ - Ayesha
I am a very seasonal person. Winter and summer have two different vibes in my house. I live in Australia, so of course the vibe is all beachy and sunshine. But the other side of me is more crone life like you lovely ladies. Im definately a mixture. My Grandfather was Irish he emigrated to Australia when he was 23. Maybe this is why I feel like I do. Love your channel.
