44 Days of Witchery:A Myth or Story from Folklore

This prompt brought absolutely nothing to mind.  At first.  Then after some reflection I found that my favorite story/allegory was the Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.  While this is a modern retelling, I love the theme of mother, maiden, and crone as well as the god born and reborn.  I've been more inspired by this book than by any other.  I find this story puts the myth into a proper feminine perspective, and highlights the ancient mysteries.  It is always an inspiration and a reminder of the spiritual nature of the self and of the universe.
