" For the first time in history, enormous numbers of women are traveling through the gate of menopause and looking forward to a life span of some 30 more years. And we women have a certain hard-won wisdom, gleaned through consciously processing the experiences of our long and fruitful lives. What are we going to do with this wisdom? Play golf? Get our hair done? We begin to glimpse the opportunity, and the responsibility."

Ann Kreilkamp, Founder, Crone Chronicles

4/6/07 UPDATE ON RELAUNCH

Crone is about to launch herself into the world again through a new magazine at the Spring Equinox, 2008. CRONE: Women Coming of Age will be published by Anne Niven, of BBI Media and SageWoman magazine. Ann Kreilkamp, founding editor of Crone Chronicles: A Journal of Conscious Aging, will serve as “Elder Editor” of CRONE, with Anne Niven as “Junior Editor.” The magazine will be substantial in size, perfect bound (like a book), and published twice per year at the equinoxes.

There has also been an evolution in the mission of the magazine. Whereas Crone Chronicles (1989–2001) served to “activate the archetype” of the Crone, encouraging us to uncover our voice and heart with a soul rooted in wisdom wrestled from long experience, CRONE will assume that this archetype is alive and well within us and let the world know who we are, both in terms of Crone awareness, and how this awareness projects and manifests in the world.

Each issue of CRONE will feature two major interviews, one with a crone working primarily in the outer world, the other with a crone focused primarily on her inner world. There will be eight departments, staffed by a circle of editors, and numerous columnists, including special columnist Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., Jungian Analyst and author of many books, including Crones Don’t Whine.

For the launch issue, Ann will interview Angeles Arrien, a cultural anthropologist who has just published a new book, The Second Half of Life: Opening the Eight Gates of Wisdom, and Jean Mountaingrove, of WomanSpirit magazine (1974–1984), now 80 years old, and living in retirement at a wooded, women-only sanctuary in southern Oregon.

We welcome submissions to the new CRONE magazine. Please contact editor@cronechronicles.com for more information. Thank you!
