Elizabeth Shepherd: Peggy Holmes

Quotes 

• Peggy Holmes : Wicca, which we think of as witchcraft, is very ancient wisdom. Many of these herbs found in witches' brews are still used today - only we call them medicine.

  [Shirley flips through the pages of a book about Wicca] 

  Shirley Holmes : There's a swastika!

  Peggy Holmes : Oh, long before it was a swastika, it was a rune - a very powerful symbol of magic.

  Shirley Holmes : So there really is such a thing as sorcery?

  Peggy Holmes : Symbolism and ritual are forces not to be taken lightly. Consider how feared the swastika became at the hands of the Nazis. Some call it sorcery; some call it psychology.

• Shirley Holmes : But what if someone was using Wicca to hurt people?

  Peggy Holmes : Then he doesn't understand what he's dealing with. Wicca is for healing, not hurting. Shirley, that person is very dangerous.
