The Middle earth – this holding land,
the indigenous of our tribe,
the people of my heritage,
their medicine
and their myths, where dragons and elves
not only in dreams
as kings fought for their forests,
the land,
the sacred medicine
where beasts and other-worlds live
as one
but those who burnt
at the stake,
and those who
lost their tongues
were silenced,
bloody and burnt –
I sat there,
her at my back stirring my own cauldron,
knowing when the time was right,
they would come
to listen, to know, to receive
the wisdom of the old one,
the witch, the crone
And she – the seer,
through my eyes,
through my songs,
would touch those hearts
and that same medicine
that flows,
now at this time
the time that is right
for the empowerment of her voice
and the worlds of middle-earth
brought back to life
back to the hearts
of our own lineage
For I feel the wounds of my great, great, great grandmothers
and I dig my hands and my roots into their soil,
I sing the songs of those ancestors,
their voice will be freed through mine
and their screams ‘will’ be heard
and their wisdom will be -released
And those who have been forgotten
that flesh – and that bone
in my dreams will – be – remembered
for our ancestors need be sung
if we are meant to heal
And that soul of our humanity,
as the old one prays,
will return for sure
in that voice of mystery
mending the betrayal
of our broken ways

About Caroline Carey
Caroline is an English Grandmother and an aspiring crone~elder, an author of four books, a speaker and innovative and creative teacher, offering her work via workshops and gatherings online as well as internationally.
By adapting the religious education insisted on by her family, she was able to recognise her own innate connection to God/Spirit and has been on a spiritual path since childhood.
She is a champion of music, dance and poetry as healing tools since she was four years old and developed an innate understanding of the soul’s journey, a connection to physical embodiment through movement, theatre and the creative arts. Her work is harmonious with nature.
Her journey has manifested as her own personal training into eldership and crone-hood, carrying the wisdom needed for stability and balance in individuals, relationships, families and communities. Mothering her six, now adult, children, gave Caroline the art of play, creativity, story-telling and opened up the deep surrender and unconditional love that motherhood can bestow.
Caroline has trained in many modalities of dance, therapeutic and spiritual teacher trainings since 1986. She is a writer who has published her autobiography and four other books about her spiritual work. Her latest book, 'Middle Earth Wisdom' will be published soon. She lives in UK with her husband Ben Cole, a film-maker, a director who works with men’s initiation groups. They often offer work together, incorporating dance, presentation and film.

Caroline Carey Writings, Prose & Poetry 
She,the seer, speaks, and out of her mouth, issues the song, throne song,
The one song, called and blessed, winding round my heart like gossamer is.
The love rises in my dark bones, flying from the wrapt base of dragon held wisdom,
Sweeping me clear of no known life,until I am left, ringing my hands like blue bells,
Letting the song fill me…’ til I am no more and we are one…💙
Wow, we meet in the Magic and mystery of words….remembering. Thank you
