"Travelling women will inevitably encounter many gateways, portals or tenuous partings in the shadowy fabric of worlds. To reach such a threshold is one thing; to work out a way through is another matter, requiring determination, daring, and some personal act of magic."

~Carolyn Hillyer, Weaver's Oracle

There's a wonderful short story, by Stephen King, called Mrs. Todd's Shortcut about a middle aged woman who delights in finding alternate routes on her way into the city. She always returns with branches and bones in her hair and always arrives faster than anyone can explain. It perfectly captures this concept. I believe he wrote it for his wife when she was approaching her crone phase. Highly recommend.
