It's Mothering Sunday this weekend (Maggy's never been allowed to call it 'Mother's Day) so it's appropriate that we are taking a card from the Goddess Oracle to guide our nattering. Passing references to Lent, the Stations of the Cross and almost certainly a touch of mad crone profanity (but definitely no cackling).
