When a woman is between the stages of Maiden and Crone in her life, we say she is in the “Mother” phase . . . and yet many women today are not mothers, by choice or by Fate. Instead of nurturing children (or maybe in addition to children), we nurture our art, our relationships, our animals, our gardens, our community, our activism, our spiritual path. We are at the peak of our power and the potency of our erotic, creative lives. We can each indeed claim the title “Queen of My Life”!

The goddesses depicted here are all at that same stage of potency and fulfillment.
