Lorcan's Bane

by Kitty Roxanna Connell

Long before we were bullied, bartered, and original-sinned, women shared equally of Earth s providence. Our wisdom and vision were indispensable to the sustenance of life and social order. But over time, and for reasons unrepented, our rites and rights were stripped away, leaving humanity a paradigm in which might is the ultimate moral criterion and money, the final absolution. We find ourselves now in a world out of balance, squandering our resources on death-dealing technologies and our intelligence on ever more ludicrous reasons for using them. Our children rate less than our hubris, and our world withers beneath our ingratitude. Lorcan s Bane is a call to restore magic and mystery and reverence for life to the fore of our social consciousness. Women, in alliance with enlightened men, must reawaken compassion, conscience, and connection with nature. We must reaffirm life and reclaim hope for all of Creation.
