Hers is an old story that we’re retelling in order to get somewhere new. We walk through her forest of marvels and, in doing so, are made to confront our fear, our fantasies, and our faith. The path she sets is personal and different for everyone, but the destination is the same. It leads to a land of liberation, where each of us can be our most complicated and imaginative and troublesome and true. When we arrive, the witch welcomes us. She opens her door with a shriek and a cackle. And we greet her in turn, wild and blazing, arms open and eyes wide.
