Clarissa

“There are people who fear us because they don't understand what we do. I am not a witch or a fortune-teller or a healer like the others, God knows that, the herbs and the mushrooms give me great powers for reflection because that is the greatest power we have on this earth, reflection is how we heal ourselves and how we can fix any problem or heartbreak, and so with herbs and with the mushroom Children I look inside the sick one, I see the root of their physical sickness or the suffering buried in their soul and that is something the sages of medicine can't do, people are afraid of us because they don't know how we do it, but this is something that comes to us from our ancestors, it is as old as the land itself.”
― Brenda Lozano, Witches

“Just because they aren't with us doesn't mean we don't have parents anymore.”
― Reyna Grande, The Distance Between Us

“Grandpa Cosme used to call me Pájaro but not because I walked like I had feathers, he called me that because I have wings where other people have regrets and fears and they can’t stand up from the weight of everything their families expect from them,”
― Brenda Lozano, Witches

“And I didn't stop hating my name until many years later, when I realized that it wasn't a name to be ashamed of, but one to live up to.”
― Reyna Grande, The Distance Between Us
