― Daphne du Maurier, Jamaica Inn

“Look, I don't know what you are, but you're more than a geologist, if you are one at all. I've met lots of geologists on different projects like this, and they're all tiny sunburned men with fetishes for geodes. They wear floppy hats and carry baggies for soil samples around with them. ... And geologists don't make rocks disappear like you did the other night. They keep them and build little shrines to them.”
― Kevin Hearne, Tricked

“Then it kissed me鈥攏ot as a man would kiss a lover, not with tenderness or even passion. This was a kiss that stole the soul of men. Revulsion at this creature鈥檚 kiss was instantly replaced by the warmth stealing through my veins, as if my missing blood were being replenished and contrived to heal me. I craved to keep kissing the beast. My entire being awakened to that kiss feeding me ecstasy, feeding me life.”
― Barbara T. Cerny, The Tiefling: Angel Kissed, Devil Touched

“My life was going exactly where I wanted it to until the Devil showed up.”

“Iona stared at me for a long time. 鈥淵ou are going to leave me a widow before I have a chance to become a bride.”

“In the secret island the Druid shall dwell once more, and the Bard, the slave of the harp, utter the speech of the Gods.”
― Lewis Spence

“It鈥檚 raining,鈥� she said with a glower out the window.
He rose and walked around the island to stand next to her. 鈥淪hall we spend the day before a roaring fire making love?”
― Donna Grant, Heat

“You can't mean to dance with the lass; she's great with child!"
Killian smiled broadly at this. "Aye, well, I do indeed intend to dance with her and, aye, I'm aware she carries a child!" He leaned closer to the woman and whispered as he spoke the next bit, "I'm the man who planted the seed!"
"Och!" The woman's ruddy colored cheeks darkened further and she huffed aloud, her continued disapproval evident, so Killian baited her and pushed the issue further still.
"And were all your six daughters a product of immaculate conception, then, Maire, or were they created in the usual way?”

鈥淒o you want to?”

“No more shall the birds or the beasts seek to harm me,
From the power that has held them, they will henceforth be set free
And should another such attempt dare come to be
The doer of the spell shall be so cursed ten-fold, plus three!”
― Leigh Ann Edwards, A Chieftain's Wife

“Lille does nae let us harm anything. Any creature.'

'Of course,' Dandelion butted in, 'country prophetesses grow from the same tree as druids. And a druid will go so far as to wish the gadfly sucking his blood to enjoy its meal.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

“Consider the way that so many people nowadays use the word "imaginary" to mean "unreal." In actuality, of course, what we imagine is real in its own way, and it can be powerful and important as well.”
― John Michael Greer, The Druid Path: A Modern Tradition of Nature Spirituality

“Ce nom a d鈥檃illeurs un double sens, qui se r茅f猫re encore 脿 un autre symbolisme : dru ou deru, comme le latin robur, d茅signe 脿 la fois la force et le ch锚ne (en grec 未蟻蠀蟼) ; d鈥檃utre part, vid est, comme en sanscrit, la sagesse ou la connaissance, assimil茅e 脿 la vision, mais c鈥檈st aussi le gui ; ainsi, dru-vid est le gui du ch锚ne, qui 茅tait en effet l鈥檜n des principaux symboles du Druidisme, et il est en m锚me temps l鈥檋omme en qui r茅side la sagesse appuy茅e sur la force. De plus, la racine dru, comme on le voit par les formes sanscrites 茅quivalentes dhru et dhri comporte encore l鈥檌d茅e de stabilit茅, qui est d鈥檃illeurs un des sens du symbole de l鈥檃rbre en g茅n茅ral et du ch锚ne en particulier ; et ce sens de stabilit茅 correspond ici tr猫s exactement 脿 l鈥檃ttitude du Sphinx au repos.”

“He yearned for something more.
It could have been his. It had been his.
Until he walked away.”

“Reapers are the hands of Death. Death might be the judge, but the Reapers are the executioners. They police all Fae."
"So kill the bastards."
Taraeth glanced at his glass. "MNo one knows who the Reapers are. No one as even seen Death. We can't fight what we don't see or know."
"So... you're afraid of some whispers?"
"What do you think has been hunting the Fae besides the Kings? The Reapers."
Mikkel made a sound at the back of his throat. "Has anyone ever seen one of these Reapers?"
"You see one, you die."
"Of course you do," Mikkel scoffed.”

“Only light comes out of darkness," she whispered.”

“When are we going to deal with Usaeil?鈥�
鈥沦辞辞苍.鈥�
鈥淭he sooner, the better, Con. If you don鈥檛 do something she鈥檚 going to.鈥�
He raised a brow. 鈥淵ou mean worse than she already has? She鈥檚 all but told the Light.鈥�
鈥淵ou think you know her, but you don鈥檛. She cares about nothing but her own desires now.鈥�
Sounds like the Dark,鈥� he said.
鈥淚 know.”

“I鈥檓 not really sure why Ziggy puts up with me.

I鈥檓 broken. Mostly because of the broken woman who spawned me. I swear, adults should have to get a license to make a kid. Prove they鈥檝e got their shit together before they bring a child into the world. My mom tried, I think. She thought she could piece herself into something resembling a mother by dropping the drugs and dropping the need to feed her overblown selfish streak. But she failed.”
― Rachel A. Marks, Fire and Bone

“New Year鈥檚 Eve at the Witches鈥� Ball, with all the wiccans, druids, and pagans in their incredible costumes, was the best time of the year. Easily Zin鈥檚 favorite holiday, because the night was for everyone of all traditions, religions, and countries. Celebrated by anyone, anywhere, on that hour. It represented the boundary between years, this in-between time. Plus, that evening was about the moment. It was here now. Indisputably immediate.”
― Ruth Ann Oskolkoff, Zin

“Fenn, under no circumstances will I ever even consider having sex with a giant six-eyed deer.鈥�

鈥淏ut you鈥檙e thinking of the logistics of it now, aren鈥檛 you?鈥� asked Fenn, gently patting my hand.”
― Alexander Wales, Worth the Candle

“Warm lips met her shoulder where he placed a light kiss. "Doona be afraid of me. I'll always protect you."
Kinsey moved back against him, allowing her shoulder to rub against his bare chest. Heat radiated from him, cocooning her in everything Ryder.”
― Donna Grant, Smoke and Fire

“The only sound was the crackle of the fire as they looked at each other. Then his mouth was on hers, moving seductively. She returned his kiss, opening for him when his tongue swept against her lips.
He enticed, he tempted.
He tantalized, he seduced.
And it was glorious.”
― Donna Grant, Firestorm

“They couldn鈥檛 turn back time. What was done, was done.
He dropped his arms and lowered his head. Despondency filled him to the very brim. He was a dragon. A creature of magic and fire. A being that was lethal and dangerous.
The Kings had forgotten that. All but one.”
― Donna Grant, Firestorm

“The holly grove, carved a century ago by the druids, was designed to amplify emotion to a cathartic crescendo. You see, druidism (as did most early religions) realized the essential truth that faith is an emotional, rather than a logical, response to the world. They designed their places of worship around this fact. Love, fear, guilt, rapture, these are religious words. Believers feel their belief. Skeptics contemplate their doubt.”
― Scott Davis Howard, Three Days and Two Knights

“Solutions to our problems as a species require a change of attitude and thinking, especially among those in positions of power and influence. Perhaps this need will provide an opportunity for Druids and others of similar spiritual/wisdom paths to have a greater and hopefully insightful input in the future of human society.”
― Luke Eastwood

“Now the author will consider the third name, and perhaps the most outstanding of all: al-Dh芒t. This word, in Arabic, is also feminine. All芒h is Beyond the Beyond, higher than any action, manner or condition, and any thought that any being may have. This transcendence of all qualities denotes the Divine Feminine. The renowned S没f卯 master Najm al-Din Kubra wrote of the Dh芒t as the "Mother of the divine attributes." On this makam or "level of existence", femininity corresponds to interiority and masculinity to manifestation. The ancient Celtic Druids would perform a strange rite after two people married. The Druid would go into the house in which the marriage was consummated and reappear dressed in the bride's gown. He would do this to demonstrate the balance between the masculine and feminine aspects within himself. The Druids were ancient Celtic priests, shamans and philosophers.”
― Laurence Galian, Jesus, Muhammad and the Goddess

“Druids follow the eightfold Wheel of the Year . . . which means that we have something to do every six weeks. It鈥檚 a useful period of time鈥攜ou always have the next moment in sight. It creates a pattern through the year.”
