The first in a series I'm calling Metamorphosis: The Elements of Perimenopause. Women come into their power-- to themselves and to their community-- during this time. It's time to refuse to see it any other way.

I made this illustration a few weeks ago, and I'm still unsure as to whether I like it and want to continue it as a series. It would be a series about the elements of perimenopause. This is what a hot flash feels like, for the fire element. Keep going?

This isn’t just about billionaires. A survey of ‘normal’ folk by Survation (2,000 women aged 45-65) found 30% were happier than they’d ever been.
“Many spoke about finally having a chance to become the women they always wanted to be, setting themselves up ‘for the next half of my life’.” #hagitude
In other news, instagram has stopped showing me ads for ugly-old-woman supplements and collagen and started showing me ads for non alcoholic beverages because apparently if I don’t feel like an old hag I must be drunk

Croning ritual altar and people dressed in black standing around the crone turning 50
The crone and her two witch sisters
Cthulhu in front of a burning ship
Burning Krakenship
This is how you turn turning 50 into the proper occasion: have a croning ritual with your chosen family, build a giant Krakenship to burn, then play D&D all night #cronezone #hagitude #birthday 🧙♀️🦑🔥🐙💝🚒🐲
A book on powerful elder women archetypes from Celtic mythology to model our aging-selves after if we want to protect the land and weave the fates. #bookreview #Hagitude
Another favorite ❤️

Hell yeah. Can we use #hagitude as we yell at the privileged white boys?

This week's #BookAndABeer comes from Stormbird in Camberwell. A very tasty Strawberry Sherbet Sour from Vault City and #Hagitude by Sharon Blackie
Reading this by Sharon Blackie at the moment and loving it. #Hagitude is such a great term for celebrating life post menopause. Reimagined, rather than written off by the patriarchy!
What does 'middle age' even mean now? Great piece in @guardian by @anitachaudhuri including thoughts from #Hagitude author Sharon Blackie https://bit.ly/3YBnIVg
