The Crone is one of the seven aspects of a single deity. Believers of the Faith of the Seven consider their god to be one with seven aspects, as the sept is a single building, with seven walls.[1]

The Crone represents wisdom and is prayed to for guidance. Her statues often show her with a lamp in one hand. A passage in the Seven-Pointed Star says that the Crone foretold that the girl the Maiden brought forth would bear the king four-and-forty mighty sons.

There is a constellation of stars called the Crone's Lantern.[2]
