Helen Farias, goddess of the Nookachamps

Helen Farias, goddess of the Nookachamps, founding editor of the Beltane Papers, in a rare photograph. She is no longer with us except in our dreams. She is included in this African story because she inspired it. She did inspire it, but it would take me a long time to explain that. I just want to say thank you, Helen.......

 Shown in this photo with her husband James. On the back of the photo is inscribed "at my birthday party."  I know whose birthday party that was, but the person whose birthday it was would not care to have her name mentioned.
