A Sacred Invitation into the Mystery of Transformation

The Crone at the Crossroads

I am Sarah Uma—
Changing Woman, Ecstatic Alchemist, Queen of Death

She who releases, who trusts the Unknown.
I am the ferryman across the River Styx,
guiding souls through the liminal, into the vast sea of Mystery.

Lady Death breathes gently over my shoulder, whispering...
“What truly matters?
What must be released?
What remains when all else is stripped away?”

“Sarah Uma, like all Wise Women, holds a child-like wisdom in an ancient heart!

To sit in the holy presence of this openhearted 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 Crone at the Crossroad session or any other form of her offerings they are all about moving the mind out of the way through spirited play! Knowing that over-seriousness is an impediment to spiritual evolution, Uma sessions “pull the pants down” on “no pain no gain”, using laughter as the consciousness lubricant that it truly is!

How do I know all this about Uma? She has been a part of the 13 Moon Mystery School for over 25 years, where I have seen her shed the layers of the ego that had been occluding the brilliant light that now shines through her entire being, to be offered to YOU. I highly recommend any work she offers!”

I stand now as the Crone at the Crossroads-

where the movie of my life continues to shift and dissolve,
a living reminder that change is the only constant.

A Life of Archetypal Service

For over 13 years, I served as a guide and Focalizer of the Divine Feminine through the 13 Moon Mystery School—
holding initiatory circles in sacred devotion,
midwifing the reawakening of soul through feminine archetypes.

Then, came the call of the Crone...

At the Winter Solstice of 2022, I received a message:
My time as Focalizer was complete.

The Crone summoned me inward, into the underworld—to surrender what was known, automatic, and safe.

Alchemical Truth: The Sacred Fire of Letting Go

What I have come to know is this:


🜁 The ego clings to control.
🜂 But the soul seeks truth.
🜃 And the Crone invites transformation.

As an Alchemist, I walk the path not of success or failure—
but of transmutation, the art of turning lead into gold.

And so, I surrendered the lead of identity:

Priestess. Muse. Healer. Ecstatic.

All dissolved in the crucible of transformation.

What remained?

Stillness. Listening. Gnosis.

Wisdom born not from study, but from surrender.

Standing as Elder, Wise Woman

Entering the 70th Year

I now enter my 70th cycle—not as a title, but as a transmission.

True wisdom is not measured in years,
but in the soul’s capacity to let go of the mind’s grasp,
and open into the heart’s knowing.

The Crone whispers:
“Not Knowing is the path to Gnosis.”

The Mystery reveals Herself to those who trust the void.

An Invitation from the Crossroads

Disappearing like the old gray mare—wondering who you are now?

Has life lost its luster? Do you feel flustered?

Is there a longing stirring in your bones?

To see through a new lens of perception?

When your perception shifts... your life transforms.

  • “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.

    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.”

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. "
