“Why are we facing a conundrum?”
Thursday, 22Feb2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“Why are we facing a conundrum? The works from Bonewits have proven themselves as functional and relevant to their fields. Just because there is a glaring flaw in the man means we have to toss away his legacy? The idea is nonsense.”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits

Usefulness
Thursday, 15Feb2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“Bonewits' works form the backbone of my own work and beliefs. However, those works have that place in no way do to the character of the man who created them but instead on the usefulness of those works instead. I am a strong proponent against 'the cult of personality' so to idealize a man and accept his works solely do to that idealization is repugnant. I think Bonewits would understand and agree. At least that is the sense I get from the works I have from him.”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits
Honour our Pagan Elders
Thursday, 08Feb2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“Why can we not choose to honour our Pagan Elders and past with humility and honesty? What prevents us from including a shameful past while holding on to what good treasures they contributed?”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits
Those who did no wrong
Monday, 29Jan2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“If we were to look back and see all our Elders as those who did no wrong, do we not fail ourselves first by setting our own selves up to fail? We learn so much from example. Even from the bad examples, we learn what not to do.”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits
Unrealistic standard
Monday, 15Jan2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“If anything is clearer to me now with this information coming out about Bonewits, there is far more work to be done with dealing with our shadow sides. Our Elders are not saints. I never expected them to be and I refuse to hold them to that unrealistic standard.”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits
Every brilliant man or woman
Monday, 22Jan2018 Filed in: quotes & thinkums
“I have found it seems to be a universal rule, every brilliant man or woman have inside an equally breathtaking flaw. We humans are simply not all good or all bad but a mix of differentiating proportions of both.”— Isabella LeCour, comment on Accusations of abuse surface against ADF founder Isaac Bonewits
