Désormais, pour rafler le pactole, c'est au sein de la famille qu'on sort les couteaux. Et il se trouve que les couteaux, justement, c'est plutôt mon rayon...".

Join the best-selling author of Goddesses in Everywoman as she plows ancient ground to uncover the roots of the sacred wise woman/crone archetype.

Societies define their own realities and those who challenge them do so at their own peril. The moral seems to be that where these kinds of events are concerned, ignorance is the best policy.
