About

What is a CRONE?

A crone is an older woman who has claimed her crown of wisdom. She embodies the art of going inward to bring forth the light of transformation. She is a way shower for the lost, a beacon of hope for youth, and a pillar of trust for all who gather under her protection. She stands strong as a sovereign being and one who never compromises the Laws of the Universe or her true purpose. 

What is a REBEL crone?

A rebel crone is one who questions established norms, proposes unconventional (mostly forgotten) ideas, pushes against unnecessary boundaries and drives change towards the positive for all.

I was born a rebel with the stars shining in my eyes. I was born a child of this world floating above the ground

It took a lifetime of living, a lifetime of learning to finally remember who I am. With both feet firmly planted on the ground and my head dancing in the heavens, I have arrived.

The joy of aging is the very joy of coming back to oneself. The culmination of a life lived, lessons learned, and wisdom won.

That is the crown of the crone. Waiting for the blessed aged to claim.

I have claimed mine. Are you ready for yours?

About Elisa

  Elisa’s spiritual adventure began when she was just a child. Seeing and hearing spirits in her room at night was confusing and rather terrifying, but it was when she was 7 years old that her initiation into the invisible realms occurred. It happened one fateful night at their family cabin in Wisconsin. Elisa went to sit on the riverbank to enjoy the stars when suddenly she found herself zooming right out of her little body.  As she floated above the earth, she knew without a doubt that she was something other than Elisa. Then, she did the most logical thing, she asked the Universe - if I am not Elisa, then who am I? An answer did come back but it took a lifetime of journeying both in and out of her body, learning from various mentors, participating in several spiritual communities, and consistently seeking to find the answers to all of life’s big questions to finally understand. Finally, she had arrived home to her real self. In doing so, she learned that all the answers were there the whole time, just patiently waiting inside of her.


  While still in college studying the fine arts, Elisa stared her first business. Through Elisa Designs she was able to express her love for art and body adornment. She also enjoyed the transformative effect of women wearing her designs being able to confidently express themselves. Over eighteen years, with clients all over the world, doing pop-up events before they were invented, and owning two clothing stores, she decided it was time to explore and grow other areas of her being. For the next seven years she was deeply involved in the field of BioEnergetic medicine, developing programs and teaching healthcare practitioners around the country how to use various quantum technologies. She loved exploring the bridge between the human body and the invisible template that holds them.

  Years later, she created Barking Frogs, a business that designs and creates one-of-a-kind swag for races, events and teams- and is still up and running.  At the same time, she helped her partner build a successful law firm and, with what she learned, created and ran a nationwide mastermind group for law office managers for over three years.

  On the cusp of menopause, everything began changing and new challenges began to emerge. Elisa decided to do something she always wanted to do but never had the nerve, she trained hard and become a National Ski Patroller.  At 48 years old it was an exceptionally difficult undertaking and to this day she will say that it was the key accomplishment that set a new trajectory as she entered her ‘old’ age. Never one for sitting back and resting on her accomplishments, at 58 years old she wrote her first novel - without any formal training or any known aptitude in creative writing. Her book was a way to share her personal metaphysical stories and to include another passion, exploring the hidden truths of our earth and cosmic history. Her book, ‘Buried but Never Forgotten’ went on to win over a dozen honorable mentions in various competitions including first place in the 2021 American Fiction Awards for New Age Fiction and third place in The Living Now Awards for Spiritual Fiction. She is currently working on the next book in the series while enjoying life in her new home in Santa Fe, NM.


  In 2023, Elisa decided to deepen her relationship with spirit and entered The Lineages of Light Mystery School. Through this deeply transformative experience, she committed to stepping up and out to share her truth and wisdom. After a lifetime of spiritual exploration, creating small businesses and pushing the envelope of creative expression, Elisa has hit her stride in bringing all these various aspects of her life and passions into one place - Welcome to The Rebel Crone!
