Mother Tongue's Spell for Honoring Your Hunger

From When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams

“... the transgression of Eve was an act of courage that led us out of the garden into the wilderness. Who wants to be a goddess when we can be human? Perfection is a flaw disguised as control. The moment Eve bit into the apple, her eyes opened and she became free. She exposed the truth of what every woman knows: to find our sovereign voice often requires betrayal. We just have to make certain we do not betray ourselves. For a woman to speak from the truth of their heart is to break taboo. The mask is removed. The snake who tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit was not the Devil, but her own instinctive nature saying, Honor your hunger and feed yourself. Devil spelled backwards is lived.”
