In my practise, the three phases of The Feminine are Maiden, Wife, Mother. That is, someone who hasn’t had sex: Maiden; someone who has has sex: Wife; and someone who has had children (or has reached an age where she has chosen not to give birth): Mother.
This has very much to do with a female person’s sexual knowledge (thus Know Thyself), and not much to do with their menstrual cycle.
The three phases of The Masculine are, similarly, Boy, Husband, and Father, with the same expectation of Know Thyself applying.
A Sage is always someone who has had long experience within the structure of a particular Form, regardless of gender, and a crone is just a derogatory term for an old woman.
We also have Warrior and Defender, applying to both male and female conditions, but mostly Warrior is for the men, and Defender is for the women. Stereotypes notwithstanding :)
Magic is all around us
It’s Time
Remove superstition from mystery
Open your mind
