I am Rachel Ginger Lazarus, Black Lightening, Dragon Mother, Keyholder of the Midnight Sun. I am hear to be see the Serpent and be seen by it. I am here to take in the medicine of Serpent, to deepen my relations, and to shed the skin that has become dull and too tight. I am ready to see my renewed colors and ever deepening patterns.

The moon has always held such a fascination for me. Her shapes and changes have kept my attention for decades. I never tire of her. She has kept me in her thrall for all the years of my life that I can remember. In all her glorious light, and all her deep darkness, she is beauty. She swells with life and wanes into nothingness.
