“In ancient times, women who had ceased their monthly flow were believed to hold their life-giving powers within themselves, like the dark moon. They were thought to be creating something powerful with their retained womb blood—pregnant with wisdom instead of new life. Valued and honored in their communities, these sage women had skills and powers no younger woman could possess. Like Hekate, they were crones, crowned”
Kris Waldherr, The Book of Goddesses: Expanded Anniversary Edition

Christine: Oh, tonight I gave you my soul, and I am dead.
