“Women of the world have been quietly screaming a shared scream for thousands of years. A new understanding of the ancient Goddesses, Athena, Metis, and Medusa, can help us realize that we are worthy of protection. Through distorted portrayals by patriarchal authors, all three of these Goddesses have suffered the trauma of ‘not being seen, not being recognized, and not being taken into account,’ but we can begin to change and heal this now, by seeing and understanding them more deeply in their original fullness and positivity.”

― Laura Shannon, Re-visioning Medusa: from Monster to Divine Wisdom

Despair thy charm,
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother’s womb
Untimely ripped.

I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before. There’s no such thing.
It is the bloody business which informs
Thus to mine eyes.

This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses

The three witches speak these words at the opening of the play. Throughout the play, whenever the witches appear, there is thunder, rain, or some kind of bad weather that precedes them.

The stormy weather associated with the witches symbolizes how their powers stir up trouble, incite chaos, and go against the natural order

Yep. But when it comes to loving neighbours, I leave psychos and narcissists to the bottom of the list. Well, loving them means staying clear of them.

I admit—that's a difficult one. Boundaries.

Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are. ~Pema Chödrön
