I chose this specific quote because it goes the must in depth of the scattered prayer excepts and gives a look into the religions foundations of the Druids in "Mists." It's seems like a transcendentalist religion, which makes me wonder if Marion Bradley was influenced by Emerson or Thoreau. The idea of a Forest Goddess is really interesting, not only for the feminist ideals Bradley was trying to reflect, but for it's argument against Christianity. This prayer gives an embodiment of religion that is tangibly felt by Morgaine and connects her to all of the living things around her. How could this religion not be the correct one for the kingdom, when it physically connects humanity to the world around it?
