Adolf Münzer (1870-1953), ‘Walpurgis’, “Jugend”, 1909

“A witch will neither sink nor swim.
When crushed, a witch’s bones will make a fine glue.
A witch will pretend not to be looking at her own image in a window.
A witch will gaze wistfully at the glitter of a clear night.“

—Elizabeth Willis

“Witchcraft is remembrance. There was a time when you were free. Remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed naked in the sunlight–remember. You were wise woman and healer, you were huntress and amazon–remember that. You say you have lost all recollection of it; remember. Your bones remember. When you invoke your past, your heroines, your goddesses, your dreams–it is yourself you call to life. Remember who you are.”
