Good morning all of you lovely Crone Community Thank for all the kind words regarding the loss of my Gran, I really appreciate it. While things still feel quite raw I'm realise I'm avoiding the feelings atm. I'm taking the next 2 days off socials and reflecting and processing. I will respond to all comments in the next week. Brightest blessings to you all Cindy
I also don't watch the news, in fact I rarely watch TV but I have one because my husband watches it. The older I get the more I think my ideal life would be in a cottage in the wilderness away from people & just live with my animals & nature & of course my hubby lol.
Agreed! People that don't get excited about the whole process of planting a seed, watching it grow, and helping it grow, I really don't understand at all. It's magical.
It is absolutely incredible, I've just found a small oak tree growing under the seat in my car 😂 I will be transplanting it to a pot until.i find a good space for it to grow. How incredible that it has grown in such challenging circumstances 💚 Ayesha
Great chat! I, too, have stepped away from all things news related. I have Fibromyalgia and finding someone who can help treat this condition is null and void. That's where I am being proactive to help reduce my pain. One step is to start living like we did 20 plus years ago. Unplugging and living simple. Your conversations are spot on! I feel a tad less stressed and pain when I watch your chit-chat. Cindy, my condolences to you friend. I lost my parents two months apart, and all of my immediate family, too....in a span of seven years. Keep being you ladies. We all appreciate and adore you! 💜
I have experienced fibromyalgia for over 30 years. I too do natural foods and lifestyle. But I have found deep tissue massage and energetic body work really helps. I’d be glad to share more details if you are interested.
Yes I think that is the way forward, it’s like we are coming full circle isn’t it, thank you for watching and commenting. And sorry for your loss, it is so difficult isn’t it riding the waves of grief - Ruby x
@@DKayeCoachingcan you please send me details, my close friend has fibromyalgia, she is totally natural living, but would be interested in anything else that can help her.
Hi, thank you for your thoughts, I believe that with the right mental attitude and spiritual practice we can manage just about any condition. Have you read Brandon Bays, The Journey. I read it just after my diagnosis and have reread it several times earlier this year I did more work with Brandon Bays and attended her Journey work course it was intense but worth it, I also changed my eating and adopted a Sattvic Diet for some time to clear the body of inflammation. Now I do the best to eat simple real food. Chanting Mantra and meditation have been my go to . BB Cindy
Condolences Cindy, it is so hard isn't it, I recently lost my mother, just keep taking things slowly and remember how lucky you are to have had her for so long, my grandparents were gone by the time I was 20 and my father when I was 45. She will be watching over you. It is so lovely growing things and then drying them for use in winter, I scatter seeds too, it's so lovely looking for them the following years, great chat as always.
So sorry for your loss Debbie. I imagine some days are harder than others, but you seem pretty wise to take things slowly and cherish the time you had. Thankyou for joining us round the table and sharing. 💚 Ayesha
Hello Ladies, First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss Cindy. I’m sending you lots of healing vibes and love. I don’t watch any news or negative media. I limit my social media time and I have been accused of having my head in the sand but I agree that you can only control your circle of influence and by doing that you send out an energy that may help others who are out of your influence. When I worked in the corporate world we had a word - synergy that was bandied about a lot, so much in fact that people stopped taking it seriously. It ultimately meant that we need to think about how our actions will have consequences, not only for ourselves but for other people, departments, etc. Sounds an awful lot like karma. I have always remembered that and something that I read in a Dale Carnegie book about trying to ensure that your decisions are a win-win for everyone involved. So I always try to do that as well. Being an empath I have learnt that not everyone’s journey is mine, so I am learning not to take on other people’s issues and that includes global things. We can only be role models for our community. Hopefully though, our actions made at home will ripple down across the world and help someone else. I agree it doesn’t mean I don’t care, just that I am sending vibes in solidarity but letting someone else with influence to take care of the influencing (if that makes sense). I have friends who are conspiracy theorists and they get most upset when I liken them to mainstream media; that they too are instilling fear in the masses to control the narrative. I always go inward to find out whether information I have received resonates with me or whether I let it go…most of it is let go. As for the AI debate. I don’t have any AI in the house, except where I have no choice (like our phones). Something in my gut tells me that we will regret this, but only time will tell if I am being paranoid or not. 😊 If I could go back to landlines and video recorders I would. 😂 I live in a regional area and we get lots of black outs and downtime with our internet and phone services and it really bugs me that we have no choice but to rely so heavily on these things. I have been into a grocery store where the internet is down and people are freaking out because they are unable to pay for their groceries. I always have cash in my wallet for situations like these. Call me old fashioned but at least I’m going home with my groceries. 😊 Good chat. I really love the diverse range of topics you have had so far.
thank you so much for sharing, I hate the term conspiracy theorist, because awakened, free thinkers get banded into this group as well, and some of the theories are actually true, and then you have the extreme ones which make us all look bonkers. But I understand what you mean. Now this might surprise you but I am an analog girl at heart, I refuse to have any AI in my home too, I wouldn't ever get an alexa etc, I have my phone and ipad and I go on it online, I have an old typewriter and sew on a handcrank singer, I would happily be pre internet too - Ruby
Thankyou for sharing! If every decision was reached aiming for a win win, how much nicer would it be! I do like having information at my fingertips, but I prefer low tech, less to go wrong and more likely that I can fix it. I'm very make do and mend! Thanks for joining us round the table! 💚Ayesha
I cannot watch news. It's so over stimulating. I get my news via ppl who watch. What I need to hear about, i will. Another great chat with you lovely ladies ❤
This was a mind-blowing video dear ladies, thank you for your voices. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to hear what you said about the news, history, perception and propaganda. I so agree with everything you said but I thought I was the only one thinking it. Keep on with your wise women counsels and maybe we really can heal this planet and bring about peace ✌️
I am still watching this episode and realize it is so inspiring to see your beautiful plants, fairy lights, candle and Tarot card - all the coziness - as well as the 3 of you lovely, creative people. I would love to see or hear more specifics about the things you are each creating!
Cindy's poem is a beautiful tribute to her Grandmother. I love when the webs you're weaving take off in a natural direction. Keep up the good work ladies!
Thank you for the new video, it’s always a lovely thing to hang out with you. Cindy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. And happy for you that you got to enjoy such a special relationship with her. My grandmother died at the same age couple of years ago. She was always more on the timid side and never did claim her place in life. When my grandpa died (almost thirty years before her), she became even more withdrawn. I wish every grandmother could be that wise, wild and wonderful crone in someone’s life. The discussion about AI is interesting. Coming from the field of IT, I was originally quite excited about it. But seeing how many of my cohort (I’m in language teaching now) use AI to produce materials for them, simply because they have no ideas and/or don’t want to have to pay for worksheets is disheartening. Also, AI is the computer equivalent of a gas guzzler. It’s easy to forget that huge amounts of energy are needed to run the server farms that power our entertainment, so if we really want to do something to support Mother Earth, we should do more things in RL and fewer virtually. At least that’s one of my current goals, although it’s difficult when you’re used to just grabbing your smartphone or tablet to look something up, order stuff, or engage with your favorite RUclipsrs.
Thanks for sharing your insight. It's amazing the change in the last 2 decades, when I first got the Internet I couldn't see the point and it was all so slow, but now my phone is so ready to be whipped out each time I have a question. It's easy to forget what it takes to power it all in the background. 💚Ayesha
Oh ladies iim loving every minute of this. Yes to the magic of growing things from seed, ive grown mimosa pudica this year (amongst so many other things) and shes a diva but ive nurtured her and she has buds right now im excited for the purple pompoms! I also do not watch the news, and i had the conversation with a customer today about how they only show the bad things to fester negativity. We agreed there is so much good in the world but thats rarely shown because they want us all horrified and scared! Love you three I would love to sit down with you 3 foe coffee and chat one day 😊❤
Thank you so much for this lovely talk! It was so interesting, deep, and joyful! I'm so sorry for your loss of your matriarch, my grandmother also died at a high age, and even though it's expected in some way, it's still a shock. It's roots to the past, after all, that's cut off, and we can never ask them again about their experiences. Love the talk of guerilla planting, will look up this Phantom Planter!! 😂😂😂😂😂 I appreciate all the topics you touched on, and I love all of you! Brightest blessings to you all! ❤❤❤❤
Condolences Cindy X We are going to nearby Dinas Emrys to celebrate Mabon which is where Merlin was said to have spoken his first prophecy about the Red/Welsh and White/Anglo Saxon dragons under Vortigen's fortress. It is such an atmospheric place with an amazing legend attached. Equinox blessings to you all x
What interesting discussions! I love the idea of Guerilla Gardening…and I’m now following The Phantom Planter…Thankyou Ayesha 🌱 Definitely food for thought regarding AI … Oh…you are the best crones to coffee with! ☕️☕️☕️ Have a magickal weekend 💫
Interesting topic AI - one issue to consider however, with AI Art especially , is that it is taking work from Artists. My husband has lost commissions (& therefore income) as companies use AI now for book covers etc when previously they would have paid a freelance artist to do the work. It has its place, but shouldn’t replace true Artists . I also think that people should be fully transparent when they use AI.
ohh thats harsh isn't it, I have noticed my branding work has totally dried up, I didn't put two and two together, it can't ever replace artists, we have magic in our hands. - Ruby
That's my objection too. We'll have less people being able to make a living from their art. Either because they aren't commissioning it or because someone steals the image of a finished design e.g. An embroidery or garment and sells it for cheap with AI instructions that don't work.
Hello from New England! Listening to you ladies makes me feel like I'm sitting at the table with you! So sorry Cindy about your great gram. Ruby, you go girl, tell it like it is!! 😊❤
I've been rewatching older coffee with crones videos while waiting for this 😅 not a bad thing. Great chat, thank you ladies. On the topic of planting for the greater good: I recommend Bealtaine Cottage as complimentary viewing along with this channel
Sorry for the delay, we are planning on doing them more regularly. Oh we love that channel, it’s lovely, have you seen Danu’s Irish herb garden, that’s another lovely channel. - Ruby
This was such a lovely, interesting chat! Thank you so much for sharing your delightful perspectives and authentic souls with us ❤ Cindy, heartfelt condolences as you grieve the tragic physical passing of your amazing Grandmother~ thank you for sharing a little of her precious spirit with us 🙏🏻🌸
I am in my late 50's and I love AI, it has helped me out soooooo much both with words and image creation. It has helped improve on the ideas that I have had so for me it has enhanced an idea I had and helped me express myself so much better
Spring here in NewZealand and I excitedly tried tapping my beautiful Birch trees after watching many videos . Fresh amazing Birch water full of minerals to drink .What a wonderful gift we get from our gardens .
🌸So very sorry for you, Cindy, on the loss of your dear Gran. What a wonderful time you had together. Thank you for chatting with us today. Many good wishes to all of you, a friend from Michigan USA 💐
i'm ending a cycle in my life as well. I recently traveled outside of my province (I live in Canada) and i'm no longer feeling hopeless about life. i have been surrounded by death for a long time but now I am seeing life spring up again. Of course this is all in my mind but its interesting hearing you guys talk about it physically.
My grandmother was vital in my life (lost my mother young) and was my keystone. She chose to die on my birthday - as if I’d ever forget her 😂 Love that you are honouring her memory and influence
I love Autumn so much, especially as the clocks go back in the Uk and I feel like I have an extra hour in bed 😆 spread those apple seeds! I also like finding seeds like acorns, that have fallen on a path and sending them to a nicer growing spot. More trees!💚 Ayesha
Disagree with idea that 'I can't do anything about x, y z' - it's not true. We influence by what we choose to buy (finacial support) or to boycott; by who we choose to elect - at local just as much as national levels - and those we don't elect; by whether we decide to take the trouble to seek the truths behind the hype we're constantly fed - or not. History, like personal experience, is quite a teacher, but it needs diligence. Question is whether or not we're prepared to take the trouble. The current craziness in the world did not come about by chance. Loved this episode, thank you ladies ❤
I agree with this, I spend my money very carefully on ethical companies, sometimes paying extra because I refuse to help bad companies make money, I also boycott things like nestle etc, I didn’t think of this when we was talking, I was thinking more about disasters etc, thank you for commenting because it’s added to the pot and given me more food for thought. - Ruby
Thankyou for your comment, voting with our purse and feet is a tangible way to make a difference. There is so much information we have access too it can be overwhelming, and difficult to make fully ethical choices but starting small and doing things locally is manageable💚 Ayesha
thank you so much ladies for all the pearls of wisdom you've shared with us this time. I love the center of influence {doghnut} exercise. I think I'll use that in the next Buddhism class I teach next month. Your conversation helped me decide on the subject of balance. Sending out peace to you and all living beings. Blessed be. 🙂🙏🧡
Please let us know how it goes! It was in the back of my mind until the conversations sparked it to bubble up. Such a useful way to focus on what we can do. Thanks for joining us round the table and sharing 💚 Ayesha
Someone was telling me AI takes up a vast amount of energy consumption. I'm not a fan for many reasons. Takes jobs, pictures are soulless. The AI taxis are nuts. Going to save apple pips etc and start throwing them about💗
Yes! More trees! I do this with other tree seeds too. I have acorns, Hazel nuts and rowan from the weekend, some I spread further where I was, some ill spread here and I will try growing a rowan with the deepest red berries I found. I discovered an oak tree growing under the seat in my old car! 😆💚🌳 Ayesha
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 that's interesting with the oak. I found 2 acorns under my kitchen window (maybe crows dropped them?) I took them inside with the intention to plant. They disappeared but a oak tree started growing in my garden the following year. I think the oak has given me inner strength as I have been through a rough time with health. I lost some mobility as part of it. I found myself very connected with druidry after this too. As well as the native trees I think herbs are important to spread not just typical culinary ones and fruit. 🌱🌳🍄🌼🌻
My condolences Cindi. I think that is something we don't tend to give ourselves is the time to grieve. So I am glad to hear your are. Sending positive energy
Thank you ladies. This was so interesting hearing about AI. Regarding music, I have always thought it must be difficult for present day musicians to create music as good as the music of the 60s and 70s. 😊❤
Ruby, my energy resonates with yours right now. I have health anxiety and OCD thoughts that I've recently handled with a lot of divine grace and ancestor veneration, so I'm feeling uplifted with the need to revel in that higher vibration. This time of year, too, is my favourite, so... I do go inward, but with a feeling of mindful giddiness.
I was out for a walk recently and I smelled lilacs. The time for lilacs is long since past ... Nature is confused. Guerilla gardening sounds amazing. I would be mindful of the native species and play into that.
I agree, why not now? We all have the ability to work with intention and to choose what energy we put out there. We all make wishes and have dreams. If only we could choose our next incarnation! Enjoy the life you have now 💚 Ayesha
Hi ladies, I have limited energy due to ME/CFS and had to stop watching the news abd crime programmes as they drained my energy. Now I support certain charities, sign petitions and write to my MP. I feell much better mentally and feel I am doing a little bit to change things.😊
Ruby you are very awake, definitely on my level. Well done luv. Also Cindy I can relate to you with being an empath, it's me to a T. I can't watch the news or let it in either. I've not watched the news forever haha. Love your chats lady's. I can relate to a lot of it. Wish I was there joining in with you lady's 😂 much love xx❤
I am also called to cook for my sacral chakra so I pulled beet root and parsnips and dug some potatoes. Soup and cabbage with potatoes for side dish. Talk about nesting hits home. We bought a home in a larger town and will be moving at Moban. Nesting into a home I feel will be a long time space. It is not the ocean I had planned on but could not afford that in the USA. New privacy fence and planning herb and veg garden in a barren space. Thank you ladies for all the inspiration. There is no one in the town I am in with the same life view so your sharing feeds MY SOUL and INSPIRES ME, Casper Wyoming my new home may just have a group to support my life. Need a way to buy you a tea. Can you add a link? Ancient Knowledge is the foundation of my life.
Your garden sounds lovely, I am sure you will have it feeling like home in no time at all. I sell things through Etsy and my website called Dotty Delightful and Cindy’s shop is called Sage and Thyme, hers is a website, we are working on creating a crones page soon - Ruby x
Oh gosh! I'm such a slap dash cook, I just put in all the red, orange veg that I had in the fridge, I simmered the onions and garlic beforehand in some olive oil with cumin, coriander and oregano. Also used some stock and just blended with salt and pepper. The veg was butternut, sweet potato, beetroot, carrot, parsnip. Hope that helps BB Cindy
Thought creates. You never know when your one more thought is the thought that is needed to tip consciousness in another direction. There was a study done in the 1960s called the hundredth monkey,check it out. Think peace.
I envy people who have had a Matriarch or even their mothers or grandmothers. I never knew my grandmothers and my mother died when I was a child. I supposed the nearest I got was my favourite Aunt.We moved house in May and I am arranging my new altars. I have bought a lovely new photo frame for pictures of my mother and her sisters. I found a letter yesterday that my Aunt wrote to my other Aunts when I was a child. I am going to put that on the altar. I bought a Welsh doll in national costume to represent my paternal grandmother who was Welsh. I find it really comforting to have this altar and am looking forward to working with my ancestors as I had a traumatic childhood after my mother's death and a great deal of grief and sadness. Could you recommend a Tarot or Oracle card deck which is good for working with ancestors? Thanks for another interesting vlog.😊❤
I am sorry your mother died when you was a child, that must be really hard, I didn't know either of my biological grandmothers and have done a lot of ancestor work to connect with that feminine line. I don't know any deck but the others might - Ruby x
I'm sorry you lost your mother at a young age, but what a beautiful way in which to honour the females in your family. I use a deck called Angels and Ancestors Oracle cards by Kyle Gray, artwork by Lily Moses which is amazing BB Cindy
Same! I'm in the states and hardly got any tomatoes this year, other than the volunteer tomatoes that grew themselves. It was soooooo hot for so long. It's still hot, even now. I'm ready for autumn! Tell this heat to pack up for a while haha.
It’s been a weird weather year for sure hasn’t it for growing. Enjoy Autumn, it’s started to feel like winter at night here the past few nights, we’ve put the heating on! - Ruby
Hot I am ready we had plenty of 90 degree weather but we never get more than 2 inches of rain a YEAR. Cooling down here to 47 at night so ordered my new ARAN sweater for winter which is cold and snowy/windy. Big skies and beautiful sun but miss a more temperate climate.
The problem with AI is not that it's just harmful for creative individuals, because AI has taught itself through scalping images and text and creative concepts from the internet, but because people are using it unscrupulously and are already relying on it for fact. I've heard about teachers struggling to get students to do secondary research when AI has given them completely incorrect information. I've heard of people publishing AI books using well known author's names and the authors actually can't get the books removed because it's published in their name, there's fake historical photos and paintings that people are taking as fact , sewing patterns and clothing that don't actually exist, and the absolute worst one I've heard is someone who bought a mushroom identification book which turned out to be written through AI and ended up making his family sick due to the book being wrong. I appreciate AI can have it's uses as a tool, but I'm at the point where I have to triple check everything I see online even more, because it simply can't be trusted to be real and it's absolutely exhausting.
The problem for me is not AI but how we/ humans use it. Again, it boils down to us taking responsibility and being accountable for our actions. I have always held the opinion on reading matter (whether a book or an article) that it is just someone else's opinion yet to be proved. Be open and honest and don't believe everything you see or read, think for yourself and investigate this wonderful world. It's a sensitive debate for some so I always agree to disagree and allow others to do what they feel ok with. BB Cindy
there are loads of different programmes, canva has a picture one, you get 400 goes a month if you are on a pro plan, you get some if you are on a free plan but I am not sure how many, Chat GPT has added an image maker now, you get 2 free goes a day, there are others too, just google AI image maker and they come up, some are better than others. - Ruby
Mushrooms - yes. I treated myself to a box of Fungarium Postcards…only trouble is I’m having problems sending them to people… maybe I’ll sit with them awhile myself.
I would really like to order some stones and now the Zines by Ruby. I am not on Facebook how can I reach Sage & Thyme? I am in United States so a link on line would maybe work. The Zines look really wonderful and artistic. Tacy West Thermopolis, Wy usa
The jury’s out on AI for me - it feels like AI still in its infancy and we have to live with it a bit longer to see what effect it will have on society. Like all technology it could be used for good or bad. My worry is that it will become embedded within society before we are able to reverse its negative affects some of which have already been identified.
Thank you for your comment, as I said in the wrong hands I think it’s a bad thing, in the right hands it can be a tool used for good, and I wasn’t pushing it, or promoting it, just sharing my personal knowledge of it - Ruby
@@coffeewithcrones thanks, I was referring to how resources intensive it is to generate, lots of electricity and tons of water to cool the machine down after.

Thankyou! And welcome back to you also 😄 So lovely to see folks coming back to join us for a cuppa and a chat 💚 Ayesha
I cannot watch news. It's so over stimulating. I get my news via ppl who watch. What I need to hear about, i will.
Another great chat with you lovely ladies ❤
I am very sorry for your loss. Thank you for showing up and sharing. I really appreciate listening to you all.
I think it's so important to share our grief with others BB Cindy
This was a mind-blowing video dear ladies, thank you for your voices. I can’t tell you how relieved I was to hear what you said about the news, history, perception and propaganda. I so agree with everything you said but I thought I was the only one thinking it. Keep on with your wise women counsels and maybe we really can heal this planet and bring about peace ✌️
You are def not the only one, there are loads of us, thank you for joining us and enjoying it - Ruby x
Thank you for your support! BB Cindy
It's always good to connect with like minded people, thanks for joining us for a cuppa ☕️💚Ayesha
I am still watching this episode and realize it is so inspiring to see your beautiful plants, fairy lights, candle and Tarot card - all the coziness - as well as the 3 of you lovely, creative people. I would love to see or hear more specifics about the things you are each creating!
Thanks Stacey! We will be sharing more about our creative projects for sure. 💚Ayesha
We are so glad you are enjoying it, that’s a great idea for a future video - Ruby
Cindy's poem is a beautiful tribute to her Grandmother. I love when the webs you're weaving take off in a natural direction. Keep up the good work ladies!
Thank you for that I just felt like I needed to use my words. BB Cindy
Thank you for the new video, it’s always a lovely thing to hang out with you. Cindy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. And happy for you that you got to enjoy such a special relationship with her. My grandmother died at the same age couple of years ago. She was always more on the timid side and never did claim her place in life. When my grandpa died (almost thirty years before her), she became even more withdrawn. I wish every grandmother could be that wise, wild and wonderful crone in someone’s life.
The discussion about AI is interesting. Coming from the field of IT, I was originally quite excited about it. But seeing how many of my cohort (I’m in language teaching now) use AI to produce materials for them, simply because they have no ideas and/or don’t want to have to pay for worksheets is disheartening. Also, AI is the computer equivalent of a gas guzzler. It’s easy to forget that huge amounts of energy are needed to run the server farms that power our entertainment, so if we really want to do something to support Mother Earth, we should do more things in RL and fewer virtually. At least that’s one of my current goals, although it’s difficult when you’re used to just grabbing your smartphone or tablet to look something up, order stuff, or engage with your favorite RUclipsrs.
Thank you for your lovely kind words, I'm a bit all over with the process at the moment. BB Cindy
Thanks for sharing your insight. It's amazing the change in the last 2 decades, when I first got the Internet I couldn't see the point and it was all so slow, but now my phone is so ready to be whipped out each time I have a question.
It's easy to forget what it takes to power it all in the background.
💚Ayesha
Oh ladies iim loving every minute of this. Yes to the magic of growing things from seed, ive grown mimosa pudica this year (amongst so many other things) and shes a diva but ive nurtured her and she has buds right now im excited for the purple pompoms! I also do not watch the news, and i had the conversation with a customer today about how they only show the bad things to fester negativity. We agreed there is so much good in the world but thats rarely shown because they want us all horrified and scared! Love you three I would love to sit down with you 3 foe coffee and chat one day 😊❤
Thank you so much for this lovely talk! It was so interesting, deep, and joyful! I'm so sorry for your loss of your matriarch, my grandmother also died at a high age, and even though it's expected in some way, it's still a shock. It's roots to the past, after all, that's cut off, and we can never ask them again about their experiences. Love the talk of guerilla planting, will look up this Phantom Planter!! 😂😂😂😂😂 I appreciate all the topics you touched on, and I love all of you! Brightest blessings to you all! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your lovely words, it so nice to feel the support and the appreciation for our chars! BB Cindy
Thankyou for joining us for a cuppa!, I hope you enjoy seeing what the Phantom Planter gets up to. More trees 🌳💚Ayesha
Condolences Cindy X We are going to nearby Dinas Emrys to celebrate Mabon which is where Merlin was said to have spoken his first prophecy about the Red/Welsh and White/Anglo Saxon dragons under Vortigen's fortress. It is such an atmospheric place with an amazing legend attached. Equinox blessings to you all x
Oh that's lovely do enjoy and send us a pic on the FBook page BB cindy
What interesting discussions! I love the idea of Guerilla Gardening…and I’m now following The Phantom Planter…Thankyou Ayesha 🌱 Definitely food for thought regarding AI … Oh…you are the best crones to coffee with! ☕️☕️☕️ Have a magickal weekend 💫
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it - Ruby
You sound like you'd fit well at our coffee table BB Cindy
I hope you've found the Phantom Planter, I think he's changed the name slightly but still doing the good work planting trees 💚 Ayesha
Interesting topic AI - one issue to consider however, with AI Art especially , is that it is taking work from Artists. My husband has lost commissions (& therefore income) as companies use AI now for book covers etc when previously they would have paid a freelance artist to do the work. It has its place, but shouldn’t replace true Artists . I also think that people should be fully transparent when they use AI.
ohh thats harsh isn't it, I have noticed my branding work has totally dried up, I didn't put two and two together, it can't ever replace artists, we have magic in our hands. - Ruby
Totally agree that it should never replace artists!!! BB Cindy
That's my objection too. We'll have less people being able to make a living from their art. Either because they aren't commissioning it or because someone steals the image of a finished design e.g. An embroidery or garment and sells it for cheap with AI instructions that don't work.
I have missed you the past weeks. So thankful for your insights, sharing, life view, and artistic expression.
Thank you, we will be more able to share chats etc. and plan to add additional videos BB Cindy
Love listening to you ladies, I love autumn and find that I want to spend more time in my kitchen.
Us too! It’s definitely a time for coziness - Ruby
Hello from New England! Listening to you ladies makes me feel like I'm sitting at the table with you! So sorry Cindy about your great gram. Ruby, you go girl, tell it like it is!! 😊❤
Hahahaha I try and hold back some things, I can be very ranty 😂 - Ruby
Cindy, I can tell even watching this on a screen from afar, that this space you're meeting in has wonderful spirit!
We met at my shop this time round, I'm just feeling the need to change things around again! BBCindy
I've been rewatching older coffee with crones videos while waiting for this 😅 not a bad thing.
Great chat, thank you ladies.
On the topic of planting for the greater good: I recommend Bealtaine Cottage as complimentary viewing along with this channel
I love Bealtaine Cottage too
Sorry for the delay, we are planning on doing them more regularly. Oh we love that channel, it’s lovely, have you seen Danu’s Irish herb garden, that’s another lovely channel. - Ruby
Lol, we get the hint, more coming your way soon ! BB Cindy
I love Danu's Irish herb garden and she lead me to Bealtaine Cottage, definately complimentary watching 💚 they live my dream life! Ayesha
Loved this conversation 🌟✌️🖤
Glad you enjoyed our chat! We did 😆 thanks for joining us ☕️💚 Ayesha
Love and well wishes to you all ❤ 🍁🍂🧡
Same to you!
I love your background.
This was such a lovely, interesting chat! Thank you so much for sharing your delightful perspectives and authentic souls with us ❤
Cindy, heartfelt condolences as you grieve the tragic physical passing of your amazing Grandmother~ thank you for sharing a little of her precious spirit with us 🙏🏻🌸
Thank you for watching and for your kind words for Cindy - Ruby
Thank you for your kind words I have so appreciated all the messages of love and support BB Cindy
Thankyou for being here at the table with us 💚 Ayesha
I am in my late 50's and I love AI, it has helped me out soooooo much both with words and image creation. It has helped improve on the ideas that I have had so for me it has enhanced an idea I had and helped me express myself so much better
Spring here in NewZealand and I excitedly tried tapping my beautiful Birch trees after watching many videos . Fresh amazing Birch water full of minerals to drink .What a wonderful gift we get from our gardens .
And I asked the tree for permission first and thanked her profusely after the small hole had been properly plugged .
Ohh that’s amazing, silver birches are my favourite trees, I would love to taste birch water. - Ruby
Gorgeous BB Cindy
I'd love to try tree tapping, I've only tried Birch water from a well known Swedish store. It was sweet and refreshing. Enjoy! 💚 Ayesha
Lovely video and chat ladies - thank you 😊Condolences on your Grandmother Cindy.
You are so welcome, thank you for your thoughts for Cindy - Ruby
Thank you so much BB Cindy
Thankyou for joining us again 💚 Ayesha
I've so enjoyed this coffee and chat with you gorgeous Goddesses. ❤ wisdom and laughter thank you xx
You are so welcome thanks for watching - Ruby
Sending much love your way BB Cindy
Thankyou for joining us for a brew and chat 💚 Ayesha
🌸So very sorry for you, Cindy, on the loss of your dear Gran. What a wonderful time you had together. Thank you for chatting with us today. Many good wishes to all of you, a friend from Michigan USA 💐
Thank you so much for messaging! It's lovely to feel supported by so many lovely souls! BB Cindy
i'm ending a cycle in my life as well. I recently traveled outside of my province (I live in Canada) and i'm no longer feeling hopeless about life. i have been surrounded by death for a long time but now I am seeing life spring up again. Of course this is all in my mind but its interesting hearing you guys talk about it physically.
Aw Madison, hoe that you feel energised and inspired by the changes that are coming for you! BB Cindy Sending love
My grandmother was vital in my life (lost my mother young) and was my keystone. She chose to die on my birthday - as if I’d ever forget her 😂 Love that you are honouring her memory and influence
Thank you, the sadness comes in big waves and sometimes can be very deep. yeah, you will never forget! BB Cindy
I absolutely love the thought of scattering apple seeds. Thanks for the idea. Looking forward to Fall here in the states. Blessings, Ladies. x
You are so welcome! Enjoy fall, my favourite season - Ruby
@@coffeewithcronesMine, too!!
I think we should do some video before and afters of scattering seeds etc. BB Cindy
I love Autumn so much, especially as the clocks go back in the Uk and I feel like I have an extra hour in bed 😆 spread those apple seeds! I also like finding seeds like acorns, that have fallen on a path and sending them to a nicer growing spot. More trees!💚 Ayesha
Disagree with idea that 'I can't do anything about x, y z' - it's not true. We influence by what we choose to buy (finacial support) or to boycott; by who we choose to elect - at local just as much as national levels - and those we don't elect; by whether we decide to take the trouble to seek the truths behind the hype we're constantly fed - or not. History, like personal experience, is quite a teacher, but it needs diligence. Question is whether or not we're prepared to take the trouble. The current craziness in the world did not come about by chance.
Loved this episode, thank you ladies ❤
I agree with this, I spend my money very carefully on ethical companies, sometimes paying extra because I refuse to help bad companies make money, I also boycott things like nestle etc, I didn’t think of this when we was talking, I was thinking more about disasters etc, thank you for commenting because it’s added to the pot and given me more food for thought. - Ruby
Thank you, we all send ripples out in our own way and create the magic BB Cindy
Thankyou for your comment, voting with our purse and feet is a tangible way to make a difference. There is so much information we have access too it can be overwhelming, and difficult to make fully ethical choices but starting small and doing things locally is manageable💚 Ayesha
thank you so much ladies for all the pearls of wisdom you've shared with us this time. I love the center of influence {doghnut} exercise. I think I'll use that in the next Buddhism class I teach next month. Your conversation helped me decide on the subject of balance. Sending out peace to you and all living beings. Blessed be. 🙂🙏🧡
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, that’s great about sharing it in your class. - Ruby
Yes, it made such sense, BB Cindy
Please let us know how it goes! It was in the back of my mind until the conversations sparked it to bubble up. Such a useful way to focus on what we can do. Thanks for joining us round the table and sharing 💚 Ayesha
Thank you for explaining the way AI works.
Happy to help!
I think there's so much still to discover with AI ,it was interesting to hear from Ruby who helped with training BB Cindy
It was so interesting! I learned a lot too. Thanks for joining us round the table ☕️💚Ayesha
Hello from South Carolina!
I just love listening to all that you ladies do. Blessings
mwah! thanks BB Cindy
I love the story of Johnny Appleseed! It made me smile to hear you throw the apple seeds about. ❤
Just got to the end, loved this. I'm sorry for the loss of your Gran but that tribute at the end was beautiful! ❤❤❤
Someone was telling me AI takes up a vast amount of energy consumption.
I'm not a fan for many reasons. Takes jobs, pictures are soulless. The AI taxis are nuts.
Going to save apple pips etc and start throwing them about💗
AI taxis!! what, I didn't know they existed, that is bonkers - Ruby
@@coffeewithcrones they are called Waymo's in America. Driverless taxis 🚕 😬
@@thefairyjam NOOOO!!!! BB Cindy
Yes! More trees! I do this with other tree seeds too. I have acorns, Hazel nuts and rowan from the weekend, some I spread further where I was, some ill spread here and I will try growing a rowan with the deepest red berries I found. I discovered an oak tree growing under the seat in my old car! 😆💚🌳 Ayesha
@@darkrainbowmoonstone9998 that's interesting with the oak. I found 2 acorns under my kitchen window (maybe crows dropped them?) I took them inside with the intention to plant. They disappeared but a oak tree started growing in my garden the following year. I think the oak has given me inner strength as I have been through a rough time with health. I lost some mobility as part of it. I found myself very connected with druidry after this too.
As well as the native trees I think herbs are important to spread not just typical culinary ones and fruit. 🌱🌳🍄🌼🌻
My condolences Cindi. I think that is something we don't tend to give ourselves is the time to grieve. So I am glad to hear your are. Sending positive energy
Hi ladies, interesting chat as always! ❤
Thanks for joining us x
Thanks BB Cindy
So lovely to have you join us again at the table ☕️ we never really know where it will go haha! 💚 Ayesha
Thank you ladies. This was so interesting hearing about AI. Regarding music, I have always thought it must be difficult for present day musicians to create music as good as the music of the 60s and 70s. 😊❤
I'm not sure of the exact thing but I hope that you know what I meant lol BB Cindy
Ruby, my energy resonates with yours right now. I have health anxiety and OCD thoughts that I've recently handled with a lot of divine grace and ancestor veneration, so I'm feeling uplifted with the need to revel in that higher vibration. This time of year, too, is my favourite, so... I do go inward, but with a feeling of mindful giddiness.
yes I feel so different this year, it is funny isn't it, I think its to do with the change in the planets - Ruby
My lovely lady's it was so good to see you all here.
Thanks so much
Thank you for your support BB Cindy
Thankyou for joining us here again 💚 Ayesha
I was out for a walk recently and I smelled lilacs. The time for lilacs is long since past ... Nature is confused.
Guerilla gardening sounds amazing. I would be mindful of the native species and play into that.
Isn’t is strange, nature is so confused, it’s sad and I am sure it is to do with weather manipulation- Ruby
Appreciate you lovely ladies! After my own heart!❤😊
Thank you! BB Cindy
Thankyou for joining us round the table 💚 Ayesha
If I ever come back to this planet, after this life, I'll be a witch
Hello and Merry meet, just a thought, why not now? BB Cindy
I agree, why not now? We all have the ability to work with intention and to choose what energy we put out there. We all make wishes and have dreams. If only we could choose our next incarnation! Enjoy the life you have now 💚 Ayesha
Hi ladies, I have limited energy due to ME/CFS and had to stop watching the news abd crime programmes as they drained my energy. Now I support certain charities, sign petitions and write to my MP. I feell much better mentally and feel I am doing a little bit to change things.😊
Perfect, do what makes you feel good! BB Cindy
Ruby you are very awake, definitely on my level. Well done luv. Also Cindy I can relate to you with being an empath, it's me to a T. I can't watch the news or let it in either. I've not watched the news forever haha. Love your chats lady's. I can relate to a lot of it. Wish I was there joining in with you lady's 😂 much love xx❤
We would love you to join us! Thank you for watching - Ruby
Very interesting session, really enjoyed it. Thank you all. Xxx
Thank you for watching - Ruby x
Thanks Helen, we enjoy our chats and never know whats going to come up . BB Cindy

Thank you girls for another brilliant video . I love love love listening to you all . Love and blessings Mel xx
Brightest Blessings to you ! BB cindy
Dear crones - please hurry up and make another of your lovely sessions 🥰
I love your videos so much.
Grieving for the separation from my last living child when I could not move to the ocean where he is. So sad deep in my solar plexus.
We are so sorry x
Deeply sad for your loss, sending love and healing your way BB Cindy

🥰☕️ thanks for joining us again 💚 Ayesha
I am also called to cook for my sacral chakra so I pulled beet root and parsnips and dug some potatoes. Soup and cabbage with potatoes for side dish. Talk about nesting hits home. We bought a home in a larger town and will be moving at Moban. Nesting into a home I feel will be a long time space. It is not the ocean I had planned on but could not afford that in the USA. New privacy fence and planning herb and veg garden in a barren space. Thank you ladies for all the inspiration. There is no one in the town I am in with the same life view so your sharing feeds MY SOUL and INSPIRES ME, Casper Wyoming my new home may just have a group to support my life. Need a way to buy you a tea. Can you add a link? Ancient Knowledge is the foundation of my life.
Your garden sounds lovely, I am sure you will have it feeling like home in no time at all. I sell things through Etsy and my website called Dotty Delightful and Cindy’s shop is called Sage and Thyme, hers is a website, we are working on creating a crones page soon - Ruby x
Thanks for your support we are working on getting some ideas together BB Cindy
Lovely chat as always 🤘
Thank you so much BB Cindy
thank you for sharing, darlings! u must share the squah soup recipe!
Oh gosh! I'm such a slap dash cook, I just put in all the red, orange veg that I had in the fridge, I simmered the onions and garlic beforehand in some olive oil with cumin, coriander and oregano. Also used some stock and just blended with salt and pepper. The veg was butternut, sweet potato, beetroot, carrot, parsnip. Hope that helps BB Cindy
Thought creates. You never know when your one more thought is the thought that is needed to tip consciousness in another direction. There was a study done in the 1960s called the hundredth monkey,check it out. Think peace.
Thanks Kathleen, that sounds interesting, I love looking at different studies - Ruby
OO, yes I know the hundredth monkey, BB Cindy
That is interesting! I will look it up. I agree thought does create. Thanks for sharing this reminder for me 💚 Ayesha
I envy people who have had a Matriarch or even their mothers or grandmothers. I never knew my grandmothers and my mother died when I was a child. I supposed the nearest I got was my favourite Aunt.We moved house in May and I am arranging my new altars. I have bought a lovely new photo frame for pictures of my mother and her sisters. I found a letter yesterday that my Aunt wrote to my other Aunts when I was a child. I am going to put that on the altar. I bought a Welsh doll in national costume to represent my paternal grandmother who was Welsh. I find it really comforting to have this altar and am looking forward to working with my ancestors as I had a traumatic childhood after my mother's death and a great deal of grief and sadness. Could you recommend a Tarot or Oracle card deck which is good for working with ancestors? Thanks for another interesting vlog.😊❤
I am sorry your mother died when you was a child, that must be really hard, I didn't know either of my biological grandmothers and have done a lot of ancestor work to connect with that feminine line. I don't know any deck but the others might - Ruby x
I'm sorry you lost your mother at a young age, but what a beautiful way in which to honour the females in your family. I use a deck called Angels and Ancestors Oracle cards by Kyle Gray, artwork by Lily Moses which is amazing BB Cindy
Same! I'm in the states and hardly got any tomatoes this year, other than the volunteer tomatoes that grew themselves. It was soooooo hot for so long. It's still hot, even now. I'm ready for autumn! Tell this heat to pack up for a while haha.
It’s been a weird weather year for sure hasn’t it for growing. Enjoy Autumn, it’s started to feel like winter at night here the past few nights, we’ve put the heating on! - Ruby
We aqre enjoying some beautiful sunny days atm I'm loving the heat BB Cindy
I'm so glad it's Autumn 🍂 Hope you get some respite from the heat soon! Then time to get cosy 😅💚 Ayesha
We have so many wild fires killing off our beef and sheep herds. So far burned 500,000 acres and still burning. No wild seeds this year.
Oh goodness that’s terrible, I hope it stops soon. - Ruby
So sad, the destruction is terrible let's hope that there is a positive to be found at the end of it! Bb Cindy
Love how respectively listen to each other
Lol, we sometimes interrupt but we do try! BB Cindy
Hot I am ready we had plenty of 90 degree weather but we never get more than 2 inches of rain a YEAR. Cooling down here to 47 at night so ordered my new ARAN sweater for winter which is cold and snowy/windy. Big skies and beautiful sun but miss a more temperate climate.
Love an Aran jersey BB Cindy
Cindy, so sorry for the loss of your Gran🥺.
Thank you❤
Thank you for watching BB Cindy
Curious about the oracle card you have on the table? What is it and is there a deck?
It’s a card Cindy designed, it’s part of 3 currently.
The problem with AI is not that it's just harmful for creative individuals, because AI has taught itself through scalping images and text and creative concepts from the internet, but because people are using it unscrupulously and are already relying on it for fact. I've heard about teachers struggling to get students to do secondary research when AI has given them completely incorrect information. I've heard of people publishing AI books using well known author's names and the authors actually can't get the books removed because it's published in their name, there's fake historical photos and paintings that people are taking as fact , sewing patterns and clothing that don't actually exist, and the absolute worst one I've heard is someone who bought a mushroom identification book which turned out to be written through AI and ended up making his family sick due to the book being wrong. I appreciate AI can have it's uses as a tool, but I'm at the point where I have to triple check everything I see online even more, because it simply can't be trusted to be real and it's absolutely exhausting.
The problem for me is not AI but how we/ humans use it. Again, it boils down to us taking responsibility and being accountable for our actions. I have always held the opinion on reading matter (whether a book or an article) that it is just someone else's opinion yet to be proved. Be open and honest and don't believe everything you see or read, think for yourself and investigate this wonderful world. It's a sensitive debate for some so I always agree to disagree and allow others to do what they feel ok with. BB Cindy
AI freaks me out in the sense that Ouija boards freak me out.
Absolutely it's not for everyone BB Cindy
can anyone tell me if AI has multiple programs? Is it an app I need to download? I would love to try it!
there are loads of different programmes, canva has a picture one, you get 400 goes a month if you are on a pro plan, you get some if you are on a free plan but I am not sure how many, Chat GPT has added an image maker now, you get 2 free goes a day, there are others too, just google AI image maker and they come up, some are better than others. - Ruby
Hi, I have used the Canva AI to create some of my goddess/crone artworks BB Cindy
Mushrooms - yes. I treated myself to a box of Fungarium Postcards…only trouble is I’m having problems sending them to people… maybe I’ll sit with them awhile myself.
Love a good mushroom pic BB Cindy
Sorry for your loss Cindy. The music thing might be hauntology the concept by Mark Fisher?
Hauntology the concept by Mark Fisher, not come across this so will be doing a search !! BB Cindy
I would really like to order some stones and now the Zines by Ruby. I am not on Facebook how can I reach Sage & Thyme? I am in United States so a link on line would maybe work. The Zines look really wonderful and artistic. Tacy West Thermopolis, Wy usa
The jury’s out on AI for me - it feels like AI still in its infancy and we have to live with it a bit longer to see what effect it will have on society. Like all technology it could be used for good or bad. My worry is that it will become embedded within society before we are able to reverse its negative affects some of which have already been identified.
The naivety surrounding ai and where it is going is heartbreaking. 😢
So nice to be with you! I have no one to hang with. Before pushing ai. Please research how unsustainable and horrible for our planet it is.
Thank you for your comment, as I said in the wrong hands I think it’s a bad thing, in the right hands it can be a tool used for good, and I wasn’t pushing it, or promoting it, just sharing my personal knowledge of it - Ruby
@@coffeewithcrones thanks, I was referring to how resources intensive it is to generate, lots of electricity and tons of water to cool the machine down after.
