“She is the witch. You know her, yet you do not know her. She has been with you always, yet she eludes you. She is your mother, your sister, your inmost self. You love her and fear her. You hate her, but are drawn to her.”

— Erica Jong, from Witches: Poems; “The Witch,” originally published c. 1981 (via violentwavesofemotion)
