The Furious Spinner

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.

Oracle

"Ask the wild bees what the druid knows."

Tomorrow the votes are counted (or aren't). Millions of people will go the polls, and the fate of our country will be determined...unless it's already been determined. Mario and I voted a week or so ago. It's all by mail. My father pointed out today that someone at a post office could just confiscate all those ballots and get rid of them without anyone ever knowing. (That's why we walk our ballot over to the auditor's office—which, by the way, is an elected office. And our auditor is Republican.)

We're having an election party tomorrow, if anyone can get here during our flooding. We'll see. I hope we have something to celebrate.

Tonight I was wandering, and I stopped over at Endicott Studio blog. It's always so beautiful, and they find the most wonderful goodies! I love the Pre-Raphaelites. Yes, I wish they had painted someone over twenty, but the paintings are still pretty to look at.

So I'm putting some of them up tonight, just because I want to look at them while I listen to the rain, while I contemplate the future of our world.

These paintings are all in the public domain, and they were created by John William Waterhouse.
