“Archetypally, the witch has been and remains on the fringe of the fringe, outside even the outsiders. Our affinities are with, for example, the pre-Celtic inhabitants of the British Isles. These mound-dwelling, matriarchally based, Goddess-worshipping people, to whom magic was life, were long ago pushed out of the mainstream of civilization, geographically and culturally. Nowadays, they have no physical domain at all. But their blood (the so-called fairy blood) runs in the veins of some.”
—Hedge Witch, Rae Beth
