"Witches did dance in the moors and they hid there too. The wilderness was for the most destitute women the only place of survival that society allowed them. The witch, the queen of the forest, is like the domesticated wife who is queen of the home. Queen of one domain because excluded from all others. Mystery, night, forest, it all resembles the clandestineness of pariahs and heretics. The underground where one may indeed fight is nonetheless equivalent to freedom."
Marks and de Courtivron, 1986: 220
