Quotes
- “The witches, the wise women, and the healers were also always the counselors. It's a whole other tradition of knowledge and learning that has been suppressed because it had political implications.”
- “Each being is sacred — meaning that each has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared to the value of another being.”
- “Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation. To do a ritual, you must be willing to be transformed in some way. The inner willingness is what makes the ritual come alive and have power. If you aren't willing to be changed by the ritual, don't do it.”
- “Spirituality leaps where science cannot yet follow, because science must always test and measure, and much of reality and human experience is immeasurable.”
- “In the Craft, we do not believe in the Goddess — we connect with her; through the moon, the stars, the ocean, the earth, through trees, animals, through other human beings, through ourselves. She is here. She is within us all.”
- “The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise.”
