Articles relating to crones and their depictions. They are folkloric old women who may be characterized as disagreeable, malicious, or sinister in manner, often with magical or supernatural associations that can make them either helpful or obstructive. The Crone is also an archetypal figure or a Wise Woman. As a character type, the crone shares characteristics with the hag. The word became further specialized as the third aspect of the Triple Goddess popularized by Robert Graves, and subsequently in some forms of neopaganism.
