is the Wild Woman's main occupation." CPE p. 12

Circles of 10: we begin as friends and then develop a shared
realization, conscious or unconscious, that we are bearers of magic,
and that our circles of support are circles of mystical power.
It's a woman's prerogative to know of magic, and to practice
magic, and to use her knowledge to help the world.

Friday
the 13th: We
are used to thinking of Friday the 13th as bad luck.
In fact, Friday the 13th was the day the witches gathered:
a time for women to gather and share energy and pray together and heal
spiritually.
When the patriarchal system of the early church began to
squelch the power of women, witches were deemed evil, and many great
women were deemed witches.
Their meeting time, then, was seen as bad luck, rather than as
what it truly was: a time for shared energy and
healing.
As
both Clarissa Pinkola Estes Women Who Run With the Wolves, and Da
Vinci Code, explain, the ancient wisdom about women's deeply spiritual,
magical and healing natures was transformed as men wrote down the stories,
the histories of these powerful, healing creatures in a sterilized manner
to please the men of the church. "...an old healer in a tale became
an evil witch, a spirit became an angel, ...Helping creatures and animals
were changed into demons and boogeys...Most old collections of fairy tales
and mythos existent today have been scoured clean of the scatological, the
sexual, the perverse, the pre-Christian, the feminine, the Goddesses, the
initiatory, the medicines for various psychological malaises, and the
directions for spiritual raptures." CPE p.16
