Voice from the Thornwood

"Our songs tell of service and honor … of firelight and kinship and

blood and steel. They also tell of people who lived good lives and died in

powerful ways. They tell of legacies."

So speaks Corva, a member of a secretive pagan society known as the

Thornish tradition. In this compelling narrative, she recounts the story of

how she came to the Thornish path and the lessons she learned as she

approached her initiation into the Thornish way.

"What we do, we do for the sacred Earth and the Great Dark Mother is

served not only through our acts in balance but also in teaching what we

know. If we are to save our most sacred and beautiful world and the life-

connections our world holds with so many other realities we need to further

the education and awakening of as many worthies as we can. And to this

act of reconnecting I will add my own voice."
