Daughter of the SkyExcerpt:
"Look through a hole in time. Look through a tunnel of compressed years to a place where magic makes more sense than science; where it is possible to understand that if you dance your prayers the right way, the horned god, the deer incarnate, will come into them and speak to you. Five thousand years ago, along the valley of the Rio Grande, the borders between the worlds were thin, and supernatural powers might be in any stone. In the lightning, the rain, the animals. Any passing creature might contain the otherworld. If you lived there, the gods would move in and out of your world like unlikely relatives, troublesome or benificent. Coyote might come, scratching fleas and trailing the stars in the brush of his tail." Avon, 1995 ISBN 0-380-77648-0 |
