When I was driving home today, I saw Sarah out riding her
bike with her mother. I realised that she does something better by far than
anybody I’ve known:
Glamour.
No, not glamour as it’s understood these days, but as it was understood
in the old arcane tradition. ‘Glamour’ is the means by which those with the
power can appear differently according to the needs of the moment. It’s how the
word is used in Mists of Avalon.
When Sarah is out with her family, she appears small
and very young. You could almost believe she’s pre-pubescent. Yet when I meet her
alone, she opens up and projects a completely different image. She becomes
confident, tall and mature. She’s anything but pre-pubescent. She even commands
me to ‘come closer so I can hear you better.’
Maybe that’s why, when I had that dream about the Priestess
and the President a few months ago, Sarah had the role of Priestess. Maybe
there are even some strange connections going on.
OK. Nutty JJ is closing down for the day.
