“Women are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its taste,
What with shall our food be salted?
It is thenceforth good for nothing,
But to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot;
The Patriarchs would wish women to be invisible.
But in women are the light of the world.
A tree that grows on a hill cannot be hid.

As it gives light to all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before humanity,
That they may see your good works, and glorify your Queen, the Goddess.”
