Crone
by ExposureTherapy

Comment:
“A crone represents the wise elder archetype—the final phase of the Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, Crone)—symbolizing wisdom, transformation, and deep intuition. She is characterized by authenticity, truth-telling, and boundary-setting, having moved beyond the need for societal approval to embody sovereignty and spiritual power.”

Thank you all for the kind feedback. This was outside my comfort zone - self portrait, intimate, close crop. I had a vision, got my love to play along, and only shot two frames because I was feeling self conscious about the whole thing. I was surprised and delighted to actually get a shot I liked and it’s only enhanced by the positive response from the community. I’m definitely feeling encouraged to take risks and play around like this more.
