Be it known in celebration of


in honor of her passing through the veil

APRIL 23, 2000

Queen and Founder of Foxmoore in Maryland
Established 1978

We all of the Ravenwood church and seminary and its many leaders who are continuing our traditional craft all give due reverence to the life and works of this great lady who took up the sword of leadership within the traditional teachings of Ravenwood on September 21, 1977, initiated by her queen mother the Lady Sintana and assisted by the notable Lord Cyprian from England. She left a valuable legacy of writings and teachings to all her "foxes". Blessed be the treasured hours and the many life experiences we all shared together ...and we shall meet and know again.

This story says much to us who knew her.

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking the beach before he began his work. One day as he walked the shore, he looked down the beach, and saw human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day so he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young woman and she wasn't dancing, but instead she was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently tossing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young woman paused, looked up and replied, "tossing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't help them back to the sea they will die."

"But, young woman, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young woman listened politely, then bent down, picked up another starfish an tossed it lovingly into the sea, past the breaking waves and said "it made a difference for that one."
