“The witch hunts weren’t about hysteria. They were about sex and death and control and power. Again.”
― Syd Moore, The Drowning Pool

“Castles, rocks, mountains, sacred sites all have a very different kind of energy. These are places where time shifts, creating portals almost. Every so often time folds back on itself. Words, rhythms, stories echo through them across the centuries. If you start going down certain paths you start waking ghosts. Sometimes you set in motion things you have no idea about.”
― Syd Moore, The Drowning Pool

“But Hopkins didn’t act alone. He was borne along by a society afflicted by failed crops, a mini-ice age, poverty and civil war. Folk needed someone to blame and, let’s face it, the Devil has never shown up at his trials. Instead women old, young, hook-nosed or attractive, disabled, mostly poor or those who existed without the protection of men or status, took the fall.”
