There was Ned, the aspiring actor, with his flashing eyes and effusive flattery, so skilled at performing that she failed to see the cold reality beneath the surface. Then Andrew, the sensitive poet, who won her heart with his romantic words and gestures, but became controlling and abusive, isolating her from her friends and exploding in rages that left her terrified.”

“Tonight and tomorrow (in the northern hemisphere) are the traditional dates for the major spring/summer festivals in modern Paganism. Beltane, Bealtaine, May Day, Floralia, and Walpurgis Night. This fire festival heralds the coming of summer and is a high holiday, a liminal time when the barriers between our world and the otherworld were thin. In many traditions and cultures it is a time of divine union and fertility.”
