Keath Silva, a transgender elder and practitioner of healing arts, has dedicated his entire life to turning pain into healing. THE DALLES, OR, February 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE).
The collection of TRANSFORMAL poetry for rites of passage in his most recent poetry book, King Crone and the Empty Nest, which is now available on Bookbaby .com, Amazon, or your preferred online bookstore, makes this point abundantly clear.
Keath Silva, a Los Angeles-based author, discusses his sex change, transgender rites of passage, bullying, parenting, ageing, transformation, and accepting authenticity in his book.
Writing King Crone and the Empty Nest, according to Keath, “changed what felt like an impossible job and something that felt terrible and terrifying into an incredible journey that I had read about while it was happening.”

Keath’s existence is reflected in his job. What a life it is, with its towering trees full of free intelligence, cramped high school corridors filled with jerks and expectations, and trans experience-based knowledge. Other older transgender individuals who may be entering their King Cronehood, grieving the loss of full-time marriage or additional enthusiastic focuses, and reflecting on their lives and identities would benefit greatly from Keith’s poetry.
It is frequently regarded as older in our culture. However, the elders are who you turn to for advice in any society that still has its wisdom alive. They are respected and honored, according to Keath.
By directing crone introduction and honoring ceremonies, Keath has helped to revive the custom of respecting elders.
But what exactly does being a King Crone entail?

It is a rite of passage to enter one’s King Crone helmet.
It is the personification of both the masculine and feminine, stepping into knowledge, self-awareness, and the call to leadership and community service that comes with aging.
The King, in my opinion, is an older man who is truly stepping into his intellect, who fights for justice and protection, and who possesses a strong holy masculine energy that sustains, supports, provides and feeds. Honoring his asking, he is. And Keath speculates that he might be tapping into his more perceptive side.
Crooning is also a time to focus on tending to your own encouraged perspective rather than taking care of things. It’s time to look within, figure out what that calling is deep inside of you, and ask yourself, “What did I really come here to do?” What is the request of my heart? How can I develop my ingenuity and contribute to a company that might be more accessible? Additionally, the Crone is connected to developing the ability to say no and sympathetic ferocity.
According to Keath, “There’s frequently some aspect of spending more time alone in our older times and really getting to know ourselves and valuing that quiet, and it frequently calls to a bigger group services and holding place for those who are now walking in the ways that we walked in.”
King Crone is the title of the book, but it’s not just for older transgender persons. Additionally, it is a guide for trans individuals seeking an insight into transgender identity.
It is also a guide for young transgender people.
Because Keath assumes the role of King Crone in this guide, he demonstrates to the transgender youth of today that there are trans seniors in the world who support them as they fight for their futures.

Keath’s poetry has in fact resonated with younger people, and many have read it at school board meetings where anti-trans bath and bag place policies are being discussed.
There’s a comfort that you’re not alone, says Keath. “I’ve received so many feedback that my literature resonates with people.” And I’ve come to the realization that there’s nothing wrong with me, but something bad is happening in the social architecture around me.”

“Thoughts may occasionally be bottled up, and even when we are unsure of what they are, we can still feel off. Writing gives emotions brands that are accessible to our entire bodies, minds, and spirits. According to Keath,” by comparing a feeling we have to something resembling an eruption, gives it an image and name, describes it viscerally, so we can accept it and proceed on.”
Keath also acknowledged that, despite his desire for his book to be of assistance to others, his motivation for writing is to share his love of artistic expression with others. Visit KeathSilva to find out more about the healing arts and writings of the sages. nonprofit.
