Charlotte, I really appreciate you bringing up K. M. Weiland's thoughts on archetypes and story structure. I agree that her explanation of the crone and her narrative journey is one of the best I've encountered. I also want to thank you for pointing out the interplay between male and female archetypes. It's a widespread misunderstanding that archetypes are gender-specific, and this seems especially true when it comes to the crone. All archetypes, in my opinion, are equally accessible to all sexes.
Have you looked at K. M. Weiland's archetypes? She alternates male and female, but I think you would like her description of the crone arc.
