Planning a Ritual for Your Third Age
A thoughtful and intentional ceremony can aid in an easeful flow through the physical and cultural changes that come in midlife, and be like a graduation into a new time of creativity. The pagans and unitarians have long done this- it's called a "croning" ceremony, but that term is so loaded- it has connotations of “hag” and some fairy tale kind of bad witch. In more expansive spiritual traditions, croning is a stepping into the fullness of what you've learned and been gifted with thus far, seeing where you still are growing, and being recognized in your community as a wisdom keeper. In the Unitarian tradition, the “croning” rite of passage can be called when a woman has either reached the age of 50, gone through menopause, become a grandmother or has “decided, for a reason deemed right by the woman herself, that it is now appropriate to claim this status.”
When we visibly practice this ritual, it’s not only for ourselves: we are reclaiming reverence and status for the wise woman and the elder in the culture at large.
The writer Elaine Mansfield wrote a beautiful essay in which she describes her own ceremony of gathering in the wilderness with women of many different ages, to mark her transition to cronedom. She writes, “Now, I’m safe from her reproductive demands—no more babies, no more birth control. I’m relieved, but also sad. My cycles of bleeding, so central to the last thirty-four years, are over. I marked my life on the calendar of those cycles, I depended on their familiar rhythms, and now they are gone, irrevocably gone.”
Author Tara Kreauweaumonn writes, “To me, the life transition that makes a woman a crone is the most important and beautiful transition we get.” She points out that puberty happens when we’re not quite intentional yet about who we are becoming, and that the intentions of elderhood are self-created.
The end of menstruation ritual may include, as it did for Elaine, saying goodbye to bleeding and pregnancy and fear of pregnancy. It may include discarding the male gaze if that’s still a thing for you. By this age, we’re no longer primarily defining ourselves in relationship to men, but rather, welcoming a new time of standing in our own power. That may include choosing a more expansive relationship to other women- as sister, mother figure, leader, mentor. We like to think that at this point we are lifting up the next two generations, and still standing in reverent relation to our elders and peers.
The adventure becomes even more exciting when Jack and Annie encounter strange creatures and face challenges that test their courage and problem-solving skills. They learn the importance of teamwork and perseverance as they try to complete their mission and return home safely.
