WITCHES LAMENT~   FOR ALL THOSE WHO DIED... STRIPPED NAKED, SHAVEN, SCORN, FOR ALL THOSE WHO SCREAMED IN VAIN TO THE GREAT GODDESSS... ONLY TO HAVE THEIR TONGUES RIPPED OUT BY THE ROOTS. FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE PRICKED, RACKED, AND BROKEN ON THE WHEEL FOR THE SINS OF THEIR INQUISITORS. FOR ALL THOSE WHO'S BEAUTY DRIVED THEIR TORTURERS TO FURY; AND FOR THOSE WHO'S UGLINESS DID THE SAME. FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE NEITHER UGLY NOR BEAUTIFUL, BUT ONLY WOMEN WHO WOULD NOT SUBMIT. FOR ALL THOSE QUICK FINGERS BROKEN IN THE VICE. FOR ALL THOSE SOFT ARMS PULLED FROM THE SOCKETS. FOR ALL THOSE BUDDING BREASTS RIPPED WITH HOT PINCHERS. FOR ALL THOSE MIDWIFES KILLED MERELY FOR DELIVERING MAN INTO AN IMPERFECT WORLD. FOR ALL THOSE WITCH WOMEN, MY SISTERS, WHO BREATHED FREER AS THE FLAMES TOOK THEM, KNOWING AS THEY SHED THEIR FEMALE BODIES THAT DEATH ALONE WOULD CLEANSE THEM OF THE SIN OF WHICH THEY DIED... THE SIN OF BEING BORN A WOMAN WHO IS MORE THAN THE SUM OF HER PARTS. ~ANONYMOUS 16TH CENTURY~ "Never again, the burning times" ime    Border and Background by Cool Web Designs 4 U Dividers by Moonfairye's Mess
