“The feminine process is not based upon straight lines, fixed outcomes and solutions. You are not a problem to be solved. You are a manifestation of a primordial creative force that cannot be compartmentalized, rationalized or contained. Your journey to merging with the Goddess-force that is you will be circular, spiral and frequently open-ended.”
― Sophie Bashford, You Are a Goddess: Working with the Sacred Feminine to Awaken, Heal and Transform

“I will take [my daughter] to the library, and introduce her to every librarian because they are where Athena lives now.”

“Fairy tales might not be history, but as I learned in the hours I spent in the library over Christmas break, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm were historians. They didn’t invent their fairy tales—they collected them, writing down the folk tales and stories they heard from friends and servants, aristocrats and innkeepers’ daughters.

Their first collection of stories was meant for grown-ups and I could see why—they’re way too bloody and creepy for children. Even the heroes go around boiling people in oil and feeding them red-hot coals. Imagine Disney making a musical version of “The Girl Without Hands,” a story about a girl whose widowed father chops off her hands when she refuses to marry him!”
― Polly Shulman, The Grimm Legacy

“Maybe it’s impossible
for poets to hide
the abundance of moons inside
when their heart is carved
from the clouds of a sunrise.”
― Carolyn Riker, My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You
