She is a dead ringer, voice and all, for a wonderful, feisty old woman from one of my churches. :) I love the older women, especially when they decide they've waited long enough and it's THEIR turn to do whatever moves them.
I love to sit down with them, have a cup of tea and receive all that accumulated wisdom they so graciously share with anyone who will listen and watch. They are often amazed that anyone values their expereinces.
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 . . . ."
