The Crone was not born this way, the Crone became herself. Many things stand in our way as we grow and develop into the people we are.  Doors are opened and closed without us even realizing we could have entered them. As she developed from Maiden, to Mother many doors flew by. Music remained a constant - but always other people's vision and talent. She didn't see the doors that not only opened but beckoned. As mother morphed to Grandmother the pounding of drums was loud in her soul. One day, while watching a simple documentary about drummers, a light shone bright. It illuminated all the lies and untruths that guided her.  Why didn't she pursue the beat? Why did she believe she had no talent, no focus and why would she believe that women shouldn't be drummers. How ridiculous.  A spark was lit, but still just a pilot light. 

One day, during a very special Witch Camp Out, she expressed her wish and her belief that she had no rhythm. Like a gift from Hekate herself, one person looked at her and said "what do you mean?  We just did a drum circle and you sounded great." He then proceeded to say that he could prove she could do it in 10 minutes. The spark was now a small Fire! A week later, while with two friends who had a band, the Crone was sitting at an electronic drum kit. The next day, her first kit was purchased. 

The fire has been burning for the last two years - the Crone is now stepping out in her glory. Her goal is to keep the drums pounding  - reminding us of our connection to the divine and to each other.
