“We speak of Kore’s strength, the light that gives us life, and Her twin sister Umbra, the Darkness over Whom She triumphs. But what of Althea? Do our scientists not say that Sun and Earth are in constant dance through the cosmos? 

Surely this fits with our own cosmology, with Heavens, Earth, and Underworld, each Goddess in Her place…. Althea is the bridge between Sisters, the meeting ground where one can treat with the other. Without Earth, we have no balance between Light and Dark. Without the Earth, we would succumb to one or the other.” 

-from the efemirae of Mother Superior Imma, early Second Age
