It's like we learn to think something's ugly. Maybe if we're could all stop being taught that only certain things are right or pretty, or that only certain things are the way that everything else should be, you know, I mean physically, then we could start looking at things through fresh eyes.

If witchcraft had never meant anything more than the craft of "an old, weather-beaten crone..."
