I believe in all things. I believe in the Goddess and the Horned One. I believe in Jesus and Buddha, the Virgin Mary and Shiva, El Niño Fidencio, and the curanderos of old, the Diyin Dine’é and Kisiihiat. I believe in truth and beauty and love. I believe if I eat a an entire brick of cheese and no one sees me, it doesn't count. I believe in words and the healing power of a long kiss in the rain. I believe in books and the souls in them, the ancestors, in herbs, in good tea, and that good tequila can heal just as well as most spells. I believe in the Earth and the sight of the stars and the breath of the winds. I even believe in you . . . and that gives me power.
