2. Could you explain to the uninitiated what you mean?

3. I'll have to come back to do a more full answer, but start here

snip-"THE CRONE
As the Moon wanes and the darkness of the night sky grows, the Crone steps into her power. Called the “Hag” in earlier iterations of the Triple Goddess, she represents the post-childbearing years of life, and is associated with Autumn and Winter, sunset and night, and the winding down and ending of the growing season. The Crone is the wise elder aspect of the Goddess, and governs aging and endings, death and rebirth, and past lives, as well as transformations, visions, prophecy, and guidance.

Although feared as an archetype for millennia, she is the one who reminds us that death is part of the life cycle, just as the Moon's dark phase precedes the New Moon. The Crone is often represented by goddesses associated with death and the underworld, such as the Greek Hecate, the Russian Baba Yaga, and the Celtic Morrigan and Cailleach Bear.

4. I understand the idea of the triple goddess.

What I'm asking is how that idea applies to the women of Ukraine defending their county. Are these woman the embodiment of death? If so, is that a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing?

5. Tom, I have gone round with your question to me. I am still unclear what you mean

Can we move this to messages so I understand your meaning? Thx

[TomSlick]

6. I tried to be clear.

As you saying the women of Ukraine are the embodiment of death? Are you saying they are evil?

7. That is what you thought I was saying? Geez, did you misinterpret my meaning.

No the Women of Ukraine are not evil.

Yes it seems possible some of the Women of Ukraine will bring death to some of the Russian troops.

8. Add to this beautiful post the video of these women

Apologies I cannot copy-paste the tweet that’s in the DU link below, but here is what they say:

We are women of Ukraine. We have blessed our men to protect our land. We have already taken our children to safety. The genetic fund of our nation is protected. We join the men and the Ukrainian Army. We will destroy the enemy in every village, forest, and field. For every child, woman, old man, ruined house, street, and even barn we will shoot you like rabid dogs. Glory to Ukraine!

9. The Crone, one of whose symbols is the Crow or Raven, is very powerful...

(I say this in case the confused poster wanders back.)

She has many aspects — the wise grandmother, midwife, but also death and decay, which completes the circle and allows renewal.

She is not evil in her dark aspect, any more than a storm at sea is evil — but like that sea-storm, she can be terrifying.

A warrior who sets forth at need to defend hearth and home might well call on the Crow Goddess for strength to do the necessary, and what is necessary will be bloody and dangerous. Is that man or woman evil? No. They stand between their loved ones and the foe who would slay or enslave them.

This too is the Hag.
