Young Crones Cafe

About Young Crones Cafe

Our personal lives work towards promoting self-empowerment through spirituality, ritual practice, and art.

We practice The Path which is our own modern practice of Witchcraft, celebrating the changing energies throughout the cycle of the year.


We have all identified as Witches for about 20 years and have been practicing together for well over a decade. As older members of the Pagan community, we write and create to enhance our collective wisdom and want to share some of what we have learned with others.


None of us is young in age but we work at staying young in spirit, especially when it comes to learning about new ways to create ritual and work magick in our daily lives that we can adapt to our own limitations. We believe a Crone or Sage is someone who has some expertise in some area of life, whether magickal or mundane, and that age really has nothing to do with it!

Elizabeth (our Wordsmith)

Crone Elizabeth, pagan wordsmith and recovering grandmother

Elizabeth has been in recovery for about years and has custody of 7 of her grandchildren which has forced her to become an expert in extreme time management. As a former counselor, she has a very pragmatic life attitude. She has published several works on Amazon and insists on spending some time every day in front of the computer creating content of all kinds.

Being in recovery for all of these years and her former work as a substance abuse counselor has created a pragmatic life attitude that has her constantly searching for ways to incorporate her spiritual practices into her daily life.

She is a word artist who creates much of our written content including our blog and our published books with the able assistance of her partner and editor, Dave

Dave (our Humanist )

Sage Dave is an amateur musician, an avid bicycle commuter, and a USN veteran who dabbles in freelance web development

As a pagan, a shaman, and humanist, he is devoted to enhancing and sharing compassion for all 'seekers'.

As a musician, he is compelled to add the energy of his emotions to the song of the Universe.

As a web developer, he is allowed to share more of his spiritual side with more people in more places.

And as a widower, he lives filled with Su's love and compassion (and surrounded by her divine works of art).

Su (our Artist & Muse)

☾ deceased March 27, 2022 ☽

As a Witch who saw the Divine in all of life and as a gifted gardener who loved soil and seedlings, Su worked to enhance her experience of time and nature.

As a visual artist, she created unique, stunning works meant for people to use to connect to their own personal energies and the energies of the Universe.

She also illustrated our published books, and produced all of the concept drawings for the Witchstones Oracle Deck.

Su ultimately fell victim to metastatic breast cancer.
The legacy of her art is left for Dave to carry onward.
Her love is left for all the Universe to share.
