Take responsibility for your power & your whole life will follow
A Provocation of Crones
This is the moment for collective self mastery
A provocation of Crones
A murmuration of swallows. A flock of sheep. A coven of Witches. A murder of crows. A Provocation of Crones is a collective, a collaboration, a coming together, a community– because Crones don’t do it alone.
Big Crone Energy is an attitude, a state of Be-ing that arises in us at a certain age–but can arise at any age, if we know how to INVOKE it! A moment arises when we recognize we’re okay, we won’t reach perfection, and perhaps we can be less critical and fix-focused on ourselves. The Crone is alive and operating in us no matter our chronological age. We needn’t wait to activate her immense power, her relaxed approach, her fierce qualities, her self assurance. A Provocation of Crones in an invitation to Invoke, Evoke, Provoke, Initiate and Integrate Big Crone Energy into our own lives, and though us, the world.
A Provocation of Crones is a series of Group Sessions facilitated by The Crone Herself, Karina Blackheart. These Sessions will Invoke, Evoke, Provoke, Initiate, and Integrate the latent, neglected (or rejected) Big Crone Energy in you!
Completion of the Series culminates in ongoing support from the Provocation–a collective of your Crone-peers.
Gathering in Community is Important: Big Crone Energy is Communal.
We do these Sessions together, because we need an entire Provocation of Crones to support, uphold and uplift us as we work toward Self Mastery amid the cultural backdrop that demands sustained, good-girl-energy from us. We’re stronger together. A whole Provocation will not let us slip quietly under the hand of cultural expectations without fighting for us.
We do this together to heal our sister-wounds, mother-wounds, and other-wounds, which cannot heal in isolation.
We do this for accountability, and to break the socially isolative patterns the global pandemic normalized in us.
We do this together because each of us is a bright and dark mirror for the other, and we cannot always see ourselves clearly.
We do this to be witnessed and to bear witness, so we can recognize our stories, habits, behaviors and patterns are not unique, abnormal, or beyond repair.
We do this to be reminded there’s nothing wrong with us.
We do this together in a safe and courageously held space where laughter and curse-words can co-exist alongside tears and entreaties for comfort; where we lend one another courage for the journey toward Self-Mastery. We do this together because, “no one of us can be free, until all of us are free.” (Maya Angelou)
WE DO THESE SESSIONS TOGETHER
THE Big Crone Energy of PROVOCATION IMPACTS your whole life.
Self Mastery is the Great Work of a lifetime. It is layered, multifaceted, mesmerizing–like any masterpiece. You are the Maestra Artiste of your own evolution. A Provocation of Crones gives you the tools, skills, and dexterity necessary to love, honor, and cherish your whole life.
THE NECESSARY WORK OF OUR TIME
Self Mastery is the Great Work of a Lifetime
Big Crone Energy is another way of talking about Self-Mastery that asks us to take inventory of ourselves–reviewing where we’ve been, acknowledging where we stand right now, and proclaiming where we’re going. Then, we step forward in the direction of the biggest, boldest, most radically self-loving life we can dare to conjure. We take responsibility for ourselves and leave the rest of it–other people’s ish–behind. We turn toward ourselves first, foremost, and always with love, compassion and respect.

“My whole life? My whole life?”
Yes. All of it. We begin where you are, in the midst of whatever struggle you’re wrestling with, or evolution you’re celebrating. When we look through the lens of “taking responsibility” for our lives, everything shifts. We become capable of that responsibility. We become hungry for it. And then . . . . BIG CRONE ENERGY demands it, and we give our whole lives the permission, attention, and exaltation we’ve always deserved.

THE PROCESS
Each Session builds upon the last. Begin with INVOKE.
Speak Her Names. Remember YOURSELF.
Invoke
We call upon the Ancient and Ancestral Crones. We invite the Matron Goddesses. We summon forth the Archetypal Wise Women from Myth and Story. We seek the insight and foresight of Contemporary Crones of note. We receive their substantial Guidance, Wisdom, and Protection.
What you seek is within you.
Evoke
To EVOKE is to call forth from within. To EVOKE is to summon and stir up from the depths of our being. To EVOKE is to expose what lies in shadow, reveal what’s been repressed, and bring to light its power. To EVOKE is to raise up The Crone Herself within us, so she can take her rightful role in our lives.
Power Shared is Power Gained
integrate
To INTEGRATE is to embody power gained; to decompartmentalize; to stand fully in your Mastery; to unify your varied stories into your Whole Story. To INTEGRATE is to be In Integrity. INTEGRATE with other Initiated Crones for ongoing support in your Big Crone Energy.
