Wizardly Words on Wednesdays: Up Levelling Creativity

My beautiful friend, Meghan, did a fabulous Wizardly Words on Wednesdays post a couple of weeks ago, about “Up Levelling”. Yes, we know that “up levelling” isn’t a Gene Keys word, and you would be right in thinking that the main point of our Wizardly Words was to give you our take on, and our personal definitions of some of the words in the Gene Keys lexicon.
In so many of the Gene Keys, as you listen to Richard Rudd’s audios, you will hear him say, in one way or another, “you do this through creativity”, or “you access this gift through creativity”.

Alchemical Art Adventures

At the end of 2025 I felt the call to up level my creativity. I mean take it to heights I’d barely allowed myself to dream about. This call to challenge my art ability status quo put me on the path to learn a whole new way of making art. I want to learn to play in the realms of digital art on the iPad. In this pinned post I will be housing all the fun reels I make in this Alchemical Art Adventures offering.

2.2: Our Sage’s Journey Begins

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 2 of Conversations with a Couple of Crones.
We started, as we always do, with our question to ourselves … “Where am I now?”. Where we are is a really exciting place, so this whole episode is basically answering that question!
For we have just begun the Sage’s Journey, an online Gene Keys Golden Path retreat with Richard Rudd and the Gene Keys team.

The Beginning of the Journey

The Sage’s Journey has begun. This is the beginning of a new chapter for me. This is a return to the beginning of my inner journey. But that does not mean it is a backwards step. Oh no. This is a spiral path that I am walking as I do this inner work.

Learning to Orient Myself in my Everyday Life

I have just completed a full year of journeying through the Gene Keys Golden Path with a small group of women from all over the world (including Lizzie) in the retreat style container Hayley Curtis calls Devoted. Lizzie and I are writing companion articles about our experiences as a way of saying goodbye to the most life changing experience either of us has ever had (besides maybe childbirth ;)).

Learning to Love My Everyday Life

This is how I spent my final week of my glorious Devoted journey … I sat with my journal for five days, for many hours, and I moved through each sphere and pathway that I have dug so deeply into, over the last year. But me being me (and indeed, who else can I be?), I wrote a lot more than “a few sentences”!! This is a very long long-form article!! You might need a pot of tea for this one.

My 40 Day Journey is at an End

My 40 Day Spiritual Journey came to an end on Christmas Day. Honestly, I still feel very caterpillar-like … quite squishy and unformed inside. And I know that that is merely a place I am at in my inner transformation and I honor and respect it. Come along with me in my video as I do my best to share some of what these 40 days have meant to me.

Why I Am Celebrating 2025

It has been a tradition of mine for almost 30 years to sit with my journal at the end of the year and look back to see what I had done, or what had happened, during that year that I could celebrate.
This has always been the time where I find the nuggets of gold in the year, the moments of joy, the achievements.

Tiny Transformations: The Artist’s Way

A tiny step, like accepting the gift of a book and daring to think that maybe, possibly, hopefully, I could actually do it, I could actually write every single day for 12 weeks, led me here, to this creative cauldron, to all this transformation that has occurred in my life over the last few years (decades!).

Tiny Transformations: A Photo a Day 2011

In late 2010 a young friend of mine asked me if I would like to do a creative project with her … for the whole year of 2011! At that time I had been a widow for four+ years and sole support of my youngest son who was in high school. Saying yes was a small decision that changed my life!

Flowing with the Venus Stream – Part 2 of My Golden Path Saga

I’d like to tell you the story of my journey through the Venus Sequence. This has been life changing for me. Going through my Venus Sequence for a second time has been incredible; I have gone deeper than I ever have before; I have journeyed into the deep wounding of my childhood; I have held my relationships close and found such treasures in them.

Wizardly Words on Wednesdays: Patience

I am learning patience, as I learn more about myself. The patience is being born out of my trust in life and my trust in myself. It’s taken a long time and a hard road to get right here, right now, and it was worth it.

Whom Do I Serve?

From a bee sting and a beautiful illustration by Elisabeth Elvira Alba (on Patreon) I, Meghan, put together this page while contemplating the message from Bee in The Dream Arc “Only when one sacrifices one’s attachment to identity does one enter into the higher mystery that lies beyond the human ego.” Last night as I […]

How A Cauldron of Crones Came into Being

When Meghan suggested we write a blog together, I responded with a resounding YES! Our “blog” very quickly morphed into this website. Within a couple of days of the idea being hatched, we’d come up with the name, A Cauldron of Crones, Meghan had bought the domain name, and she had launched herself into creating this glorious space. A Cauldron of Crones is our home on the world wide web of women.
