“The Crone at the Crossroads.”
Uma is the archetype of the Queen of Death, she who releases and trust in the unknown. She is the ferryman escorting ones across the river styx, across the vast sea of the mystery. She is Lady Death peeking over your shoulder. As life is being stripped down to its essentials. Asking you what is really important?In the end what really matters?
I stand here now as the Crone at the Crossroads as the movie of my life continues to shift and change reminding me that change is the only constant.
I am Changing Woman, Ecstatic Alchemist, that is not attached to the form in which I play or the role my soul is scripting for me each and every day.
I have been a guide and Focalizer for the Archetypes of the Divine Feminine through the lens of the 13 Moon Mystery School holding year long initiations for the past 13 years in service and devotion to the awakening of the Divine Feminine. It became clear to me at the Winter Solstice 2022, a time of shedding the skins of past that I was being told that my role as Focalizer in the way I have been was complete. She called me to the crossroads inviting me into the underworld to lay to rest all the parts of self that get comfortable in the known. The parts that become automatic, robotic and predictable.
Oh the illusion of security is so convincing to the ego mind.
As an Alchemist I know life is not about success or failure it’s about turning lead into gold.
This leads me to the lead of the role of any role that I have become attached to. Be it the priestess, muse, ecstatic, all names…. all labels.
So with that said please understand these are just roles that my soul as cast for me to play on this stage of life.
I stand at a new cycle as an elder, sage, wisdom keeper as I enter my 70th year of life. Knowing that true wisdom does not come with age. True wisdom comes with the capacity to let go of the mind’s idea of intelligence and tap into the heart intelligence that holds true wisdom, gnosis.
The teachings of the Crone/ Wise Woman is in not knowing as a path to knowing, gnosis, heart knowing.
“It is really impossible to put the work I do with Sarah Uma into words, and indeed, that is part of the strength of the work…it is beyond words. In a recent session with Sarah, I decided to work with an emotion that has been affecting my everyday life. Sarah helped guide me to the area of my body that held the emotion and together we brought awareness to what was there. Amazingly, simply by recognizing it, communicating to it, and accepting it, I was able to shift what had seemed problematic and create a space for joy and freedom. The work I do with Sarah is profound on so many levels: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It continues to guide me back to the wonder of me, over and over again.”
J.S.
As I look back, I cannot recognize myself any longer. I have let go and transmuted so much resistance, so many issues around scarcity and perfectionism, and the victim mentality. I am able to identify when I am in reactive mode and how to meet my own needs with unconditional love and acceptance. I have learned to trust, to release and to surrender. I have stepped into new levels of awareness, sovereignty, and expansion.
Uma and Greyson made this experience exceptional from the beginning to the end. Their capacity to create and hold sacred space, to listen and love generously, and to support each of us as we go through the alchemical fires are truly some of the most remarkable gifts they have offered us.
This has been a potent self-initiatory journey where I was completely seeing, heard, and welcomed in all that I am. I cannot wait to see where I will be and what my life will look like as I continue on this journey with these Ecstatic Alchemists.

Rites of Passage into the Crone. Open to Recieve your Corona of Inner Light
“Sarah Uma, like all Wise Women, holds a child-like wisdom in an ancient heart! To sit in the holy presence of this open-hearted innocence, this depth reception, this sacred food of ego surrendered awareness, is a gift rarely offered. Uma embodies and radiates the joy and playfulness that is the hallmark of higher consciousness, having moved through the self importance of the ego, to humbly, simply be a transmitter of the pure frequency and gifts of the archetypal realms. In this work, Uma has become a brightly ringing tuning fork for truth, offering the clear, pure awareness that comes only from the willingness to be an empty Chalice for the Divine. Whether you have a 13 Moon Oracle reading or a session with the energy of Inner Alchemy or a Kindalooney yoga session, all are about moving the mind out of the way through spirited play! Knowing that over-seriousness is an impediment to spiritual evolution, Uma’s sessions “pull the pants down” on “no pain no gain”, using laughter as the consciousness lubricant that it truly is!
Ariel Spilsbury author of 13 Moon Oracle, The Alchemy of Ecstasy and founder of the 13 Moon Mystery School
The “Crone at the Crossroads”
The Crone at the Crossroads uses the medicine of Crazy Wisdom to help shift the energy from mind to heart with the power of Play in her unique whacky way.
“When people talk about enlightenment, they usually think of someone old and wise from collected pieces of information, but from the point of view of crazy wisdom, enlightenment is entirely different from this. It doesn't have anything to do with being old and wise. It is more like being young and wise, because it has tremendous openness toward exploring all experiences equally. So there is a quality of fearlessness, not regarding the world as an enemy, not feeling that the world is going to attack us if we do not control and make ourselves safe. We just explore whatever comes before us because we are delighted like children playing. Although we have a tremendous yearning toward this kind of openness and freedom, we feel that we might not be safe, or we might get hurt if we explore too deeply. That is the contraction of fear. In crazy wisdom there is a sense of complete impartiality and openness to exploring anything, simply and directly without the expectations or past judgments that our fear would suggest. Crazy wisdom is not just getting wild and freaking out. It is shaped and directly related to your fear. To truly benefit from crazy wisdom you must be willing to go beyond the artificial limitations of your fear. Crazy wisdom explores fear because fear is intelligent. It has a wise message. It points to exactly where we are still contracted, where we are still trying to control with the mind, where we will have to let go and surrender more fully to Love. "
Liberally extracted from Crazy Wisdom by Rimpoche Chogyam Trungpa

WISE WO/MAN, CRONE-AT-THE-CROSSROADS MENTORSHIP
Do you feel like you are stuck and moving in molasses, unable to decide in which direction to go? Perhaps you can see or feel a direction that is just out of reach but you don't know what it is. Something is tantalizing you and mythically calling you forth, but you cannot seem to grasp what is trying to reveal itself.
Or do you find yourself at a critical crossroads in your life and want support to move through this initiatory gateway with consciousness, you perhaps could use the services of a Crone-at-the-Crossroads as a clear reflection and no-nonsense truth teller and “butt kicker” across the initiatory threshold!
The Wise Wo/man Mentorship is most appropriate and potent for a being who already gets the cosmic joke, is spiritually awake, emotionally mature, intuitive, creative, metaphorical and artistic in orientation. From that description, you can deduce that it is not my role to advise, predict or pass on intellectual information.
I am simply a transmitter of frequency serving as a clear mirror and space holder as you define what is creatively emerging in your life. The answers come from within you. I am just an ally, archetypal activist and holy fool initiator!
I simply hold space for you to intuitively see what may be just beyond sight or seemingly just out of reach. You can expect me to honestly reflect what I see/feel and often with a characteristically wacky Wise Woman sense of humor., it is my intention to support you in creating your life as a mythic work of art.
