Sharon GannonI donโt have the time to devote to circles or covens. I have to fit things in when and where I can, in stolen moments and cups of coffee. Stirring clockwise to conjure. Widdershins to banish. Thereโs never enough time, and rarely enough caffeine, but I make do with what I have. Besides, cauldrons and pointy hats are overrated.

I add an extra spoonful of sugar to my own coffee for them, to make all of our enchantments sweeter.

D. H. LawrenceBefore I write anything, before I create any assumption in my mind about what it's like to be in that world, I go out there first.

Veena SudVic nudged my elbow with his. "You and me are still friends, right? You guys get a joint custody in the divorce. Generous visitations rights." "Divorce?" Despite myself, I laughed.
