Changing Woman holds a place of power and reverence in two Native American tribes, the Apache and the Navajo, and her characteristics are similar in each. She represents the turnings of the wheel of time, and at the same time, the eternal timelessness that is beyond and above all such temporal concerns. She is the Goddess of the moon cycles of women, and of the cycles of birth, growth, aging, death, and rebirth. Changing Woman is the magic of the seasons of life and all the wisdom that comes from walking the path of beauty.
