“Life demands honesty, the ability to face, admit, and express oneself.”
Starhawk

“In a culture where profit has become the true God, self-sacrifice can seem incomprehensible rather than noble.”

“The Crone, the Reaper... She is the Dark Moon, what you don't see coming at you, what you don't get away with, the wind that whips the spark across the fire line.
