Whenever I read 'myths' that feature a crone, hag, evil, ugly old woman, I suspect modern influence, particularly Christian. Women (unless they're holy) are often depicted in an unflattering way. Age brought wisdom to the early people, and aging is a natural phase of life.
Exactly, Jane. I think the aged (female and male) were considered storehouses of knowledge, wisdom and history, and they still are today, although modern society tends not to respect them.
A crone carries a lifetime of wisdom and carries the name wisely.
