Quotes by Hilda Lewis (?)

“Earth and fire and water and air
We solemnly promise, we solemnly swear
Not a word, not a hint, not a sound to declare
Earth and fire and water and air!”

“Eternity. It stretches above and blow, and to right and left of this little Earth of yours, and Earth is lost within it. Eternity is so vast that your little human mind cannot encompass its meaning. Yet it is in this little moment of time you call life that you must choose. And so I say, look how you choose, you choose for eternity.”

“You were not afraid, priest, to take our festivals—festivals of the Old Religion, older by far than your Christ. For what is Lammas but Beltane; and Christmas but Yule? and Roodmas is Mayday—the wickedest day in all the year. One might say, priest, that you keep our heathen festivals!”
― Hilda Lewis, The Witch and the Priest
