After 35 years

Another year past
A new year ahead

 Love is the law
Love under will

The past is done
I keep the lessons
but close the gate on the
past that no longer
serves me

To both heal and
Be healed I come to the work

My skills and talents
I dedicate to the Mother
of All; Hekate!

Reveal to me your mysteries
That I may minister to Thy Children
The outcast, the forgotten, the wanderers

Light your torch
That I may see
your way; Hekate!

I give myself to you
For there is no-self

Hekate! Now until the last.

Trick question: how many poisonous snakes are there in North America? The first thing you need to know is: There is a difference between poisonous and venomous . Poison is secreted and primarily defensive. In the case of animals it is usually not produced by the creature itself, but sequestered from the environment. Venom, on the other hand, is intended to be injected by fangs, stingers, or other structures. It is primarily offensive, being used to disable prey before consuming.
