Happy After All

by Maisey Yates

Who knew, I just needed to . . . talk about it.” I know it isn’t that simple. It isn’t just talking about it. It’s actually sitting in the wisdom of other women. It’s being in that community. “You know, I think I understand why women got accused of witchcraft so often,” I say. “Really?” “Yes. Because our wisdom is powerful. It upends the rules. Changes how you see things. About life, about yourself. At least, that’s what happened to me last night.” “I’m definitely not going to argue with you about the wisdom of women.”
