Loved ones Quote by Lasara Firefox Allen
““Our work-worn hands, our strong legs, our tree-trunk backs, our throats and mouths speaking spells, singing incantations, and screaming out warnings, our bodies and our stories and our ceaseless working, loving, fighting for remembrance of our past and hope for our future, the safety of our loved ones, the knowledge of our ways, all these have been the true magickal tools of our survival.””
