About This Work
The Pagan Goddess has three aspects in a continual cycle: the maiden, the mother, and the crone. The crone is wise, having lived the other phases of her life. Her season is winter, the closure of a year. The title of this piece compels you to view the winter season, and the crone, with reverence.
