Known as the Straight Line, the Bent Line and the Crooked Line, each offers different magick, knowledge and mysteries. Each ray is associated with a race of spiritual entities with whom we can partner, including the angels, faeries, animal powers and ancestors. ... an offering full of angels and fairies, gods and humans, diverse yet connected and each with their own powers and wisdom. - Sorita Este, author of Hekate Liminal Rites, Practical Planetary Magick, and The Guises of the Morriga
