THE MOTHER WAGON:  A  SHORT STORY BY DAVID FARREN

read by Karin Gerber





 
Author's note:

My introduction to the Craft from the inside came through two remarkable women, Aislinn and Kishli (their Craft names), both well-known authors in the fantasy/SF fields and both deeply involved in the Craft, Aislinn as an apprenticed Gardnerian and Kishli as the product of a family tradition that accepted the deities of the old Norse and Teutonic mythologies.   Later I had the chance to share in various Pagan gatherings and began to imagine what it might be like if the old ways had been kept alive and not just reinvented.  It is with great affection that I dedicate this story to these wonderful priestesses, and the invocation of Nerthus is a special tribute to Kishli.
