Sheila Heti was lucky enough to be in attendance for Haim’s visit to Stevie Nicks’s Santa Monica mansion, and what a day it was. Nicks gave the sisters advice on appropriate onstage attire (“Whatever it is that makes you feel fantastic and free — get three copies of thatâ€), lectured them on the importance of journaling (“You want your journals written by hand in a book, because some day, if you have daughters … these books are gonna go to them, and they’re gonna sit around just like we are now and they’re going to read them out loudâ€), and invited them back to watch her favorite show, Million Dollar Listing.
But the highlight of the evening came when Nicks presented the three sisters with a parting gift: three golden half-moon pendants.
Nicks: You have to have your moons. So you’re our sisters of the moon.
Este: Are we all sisters right now?
Nicks: You’ve just become sisters. You’re double sisters.
Alana: [fastening her pendant around her neck] I already feel more powerful.
The four new moon sisters also collaborated on a rendition of “Rhiannon,†which you can listen to here. Truly a passing of the torch.
