I feel entirely comfortable with this.

Oh thank you! Great to hear something uplifting now and again.

I love this poem. I have seen a couple of women with excerpts as tattoos and am seriously considering similar for my next tat.

Oddly enough, my great grandma was a witch. She sounded awesome, and I only wish I could remember her.

I recently found out that I have a great (times eleven) grandparent who was sentenced to death for witchcraft. Was a man though, a Shamen.
