"Donde hay una mujer hay magia. Si hay una luna que cae de su boca, ella es una mujer que conoce su magia, que puede compartir o no compartir sus poderes. Una mujer con una luna que cae de su boca, rosas entre sus piernas y tiaras de musgo español, esta mujer es una consorte de los espíritus ".

“Where there is a woman there is magic. If there is a moon falling from her mouth, she is a woman who knows her magic, who can share or not share her powers. A woman with a moon falling from her mouth, roses between her legs and tiaras of Spanish moss, this woman is a consort of the spirits.”
