Of Necklace and Torc
See now that necklace she wears, the Lady of Witches; even when wearing nothing else at all, she wears it.
Circle of Life, they call it.
Amber, jet, amber, jet: life, death, life, death; unending circle, round and round.
Life Unending, they call it.
They say she went down into darkness to get it, she the Lady of Life.
They say that Death gave her the necklace.
(Along with pearl, do they not together comprise the Three Living Jewels of Witchdom: white pearl, red amber, black jet? But that's another tale, for another night.)
See now that torc he wears around his neck, the Horned; even when wearing nothing else at all, he wears it.
Circle of Life, they call it.
