“Love, your own witch-daughter, Queen of the Mirror and the Highest Protector of Irony”

“The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.”

“The Queen is controlling, the Witch is sadistic, the Hermit is fearful, and the Waif is helpless.And each requires a different approach. Don't let the Queen get the upper hand; be wary even of accepting gifts because it engenders expectations. Don't internalize the Hermit's fears or become limited by them. Don't allow yourself to be alone with the Witch; maintain distance for your own emotional and physical safety. And with the Waif, don't get pulled into her crises and sense of victimization. Pay attention to your own tendencies to want to rescue her, which just feeds the dynamic.”

“What is your future, son of a king?' he heard Torina say.Landen smiled. 'Ask your crystal, daughter of a queen.'She traced his eyebrow with a finger. 'My crystal never tells me what I can see with my own eyes.”

“So the good prince was a murderer and the evil queen wasn't a witch after all.”

“When you look in the mirror, remember that who you see looking back at you is a piece of your highest self, the Divine.”
