Witches of Honeysuckle House Quotes

“We can’t always fix the things other people break. All we can do is find a way to live with the pieces that are left behind.”

“What had happened to her wasn’t one moment of darkness, one act that separated Florence’s life between before and after. It came in minutes and hours and days. One moment, her mother would tell her the world was a better place because she was in it, the next that her family would be better off without her—if only the curse had taken Florence instead of her father or her grandmother. It was the shift from a tender brushing of Florence’s hair to a sharp tug, making Florence’s eyes sting. It was a warm cup of chamomile to help Florence sleep, offered with love in her mother’s eyes, then the hot water pouring down her throat as Linda pushed the cup into her face after her first sip.
Of course it was trauma.”

“With her magic, tarot showed her what she most needed to see and, when asked, provided insight into what was to come. If her power could pull the future from a deck of cards, could it also connect her to the past?”

“The warmth of Tillie’s skin through the soft fabric of her shirt blazed hotter than any magic Violet had ever burned into the world. If the intention she poured into her candles were spells, this love—this woman—was sorcery.”

“Honeysuckle House sat staring out over the fall leaves. Dusk had long since turned to dark. Inside, it felt empty and alone. It creaked the floorboards and rattled the pipes in an attempt to block out the silence, but it didn’t help. Every sound it made was a reminder of the sounds it lacked.”

“Even if she hadn’t grown close to him yet, she could feel desire turning the pages of her heart, and she feared that would be enough to make him a target for her family’s curse.”
― Liz Parker, Witches of Honeysuckle House

“For a Caldwell witch, the power of their magic was twofold—the creation of the candle with the intentions they poured into each dipping of string in wax, then the release of those intentions once they set the wick to flame.”
― Liz Parker, Witches of Honeysuckle House

“Florence hadn’t used her magic since her mother’s death. No longer did she set flame to wick and pull her desires into the world like the threads of tangible things. If her tarot reading thirteen years ago was to be believed, giving up her magic was the only way for Florence to stop the deaths that had plagued her family for almost a century.”

“A witch’s house is a living, breathing thing. When magic is as much a part of a person as air or water or blood, it refuses to stay in narrow, well-drawn lines. It infuses board and beam. It winks in windows and mirrors. It seeps out with every candle burned and every card turned, until, given enough time, it takes on a life of its own.”
