In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Arirang 

Have you heard about this North Korean spectacle called Arirang? It looks fascinating. Here are some photographs. (I haven't read the text, so I don't really know what this author thinks of the whole thing.) Those huge mosaics above the dancers are created by people holding placards. If you go to the bottom of this pagethis page, you can click on link to a video clip. (I can't give you a link because there really isn't a separate one.) The performances look regimented, like the old Soviet military parades, yet they're beautiful, too. And bizarre.
