You gotta love Benjamin Franklin, especially for his ribald sense of humor, but what the hell was he thinking when he suggested that our national bird be the turkey?!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

That's interesting.
I just posted a picture of a red tailed hawk on my post.
Hummm. What do you suppose this means?
I always think of raptors as an invitation to look at the larger picture before we pounce.
