snip-"THE CRONE
As the Moon wanes and the darkness of the night sky grows, the Crone steps into her power. Called the Hag in earlier iterations of the Triple Goddess, she represents the post-childbearing years of life, and is associated with Autumn and Winter, sunset and night, and the winding down and ending of the growing season. The Crone is the wise elder aspect of the Goddess, and governs aging and endings, death and rebirth, and past lives, as well as transformations, visions, prophecy, and guidance.
Although feared as an archetype for millennia, she is the one who reminds us that death is part of the life cycle, just as the Moon's dark phase precedes the New Moon. The Crone is often represented by goddesses associated with death and the underworld, such as the Greek Hecate, the Russian Baba Yaga, and the Celtic Morrigan and Cailleach Bear.

(11,885 posts)As you saying the women of Ukraine are the embodiment of death? Are you saying they are evil?

(34,249 posts)No the Women of Ukraine are not evil.
Yes it seems possible some of the Women of Ukraine will bring death to some of the Russian troops.

Hekate
(94,623 posts)Apologies I cannot copy-paste the tweet thats in the DU link below, but here is what they say:
We are women of Ukraine. We have blessed our men to protect our land. We have already taken our children to safety. The genetic fund of our nation is protected. We join the men and the Ukrainian Army. We will destroy the enemy in every village, forest, and field. For every child, woman, old man, ruined house, street, and even barn we will shoot you like rabid dogs. Glory to Ukraine!

Hekate

She has many aspects the wise grandmother, midwife, but also death and decay, which completes the circle and allows renewal.
She is not evil in her dark aspect, any more than a storm at sea is evil but like that sea-storm, she can be terrifying.
A warrior who sets forth at need to defend hearth and home might well call on the Crow Goddess for strength to do the necessary, and what is necessary will be bloody and dangerous. Is that man or woman evil? No. They stand between their loved ones and the foe who would slay or enslave them.
This too is the Hag.
