Magna Mater Quotes

“You’re my successor. You’re to become the mentor of the Daughters of the Moon. That’s why the Atrox has been trying to stop you.”

“Rome?” Penelope felt suddenly dizzy.
“Yes,” Pandia went on. “The Daughters there need you. You will be their Magna Mater, their guardian mother.”
Suddenly Penelope felt a light from her heart reaching through the ages and connecting with all the Daughters who would come to her, including the one who would one day take her place over two thousand years from now on a continent not yet discovered in a city called Queen of the Angels. The daughters would call her Maggie, for Magna Mater.”
