Stronger than the foundations of the earth. In place of a Dark Lord you will set up a Queen.ДЄnd I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! вЂњ I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired to ask what you offer.ДЄnd now at last it comes. She wants to accept it, oh, how she wants it, saying: Not so much about the вЂwhy's' and вЂ what it looks likeвЂ which Psyche's 2nd task addressesвЂ¦Д«ut rather, what do we as women do, when we have power, as did Glinda the Good, and Leah's sister Rachel?ДЄs we learn from The Lord of the Rings, the Ring itself symbolizing power - no matter how much we may desire to do good, once we have the power to do good, this power can corrupt us.ДЇor example, do you remember when Frodo, encouraged by Lady Galadriel's goodness and wisdom, offers her the Ring? Whether it's because of Hillary Clinton's candidacy, or because I recently saw Wicked, possibly both, I've been thinking a lot about women and power.

Galadriel all shall love me
