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.

Shifting 

Oooooh. Can't sleep so I stumbled around one of my favorite sites, Endicott Redux, and found Terri Windling's piece on Shape-shifting. Fascinating. Note the mermaid at the end of the piece. Anyone who has been following FS knows I am fascinated with shapeshifting. I wrote an entire novel centered around the People, our ancestors: the Bear (Her Frozen Wild). And of course, Church of the Old Mermaids and Old Mermaid Sanctuary.

I had more to say but reading and looking at all that beautiful shapeshifting art has made me sleepy. I shall slip into something more comfortable—something else's skin?—and go back to sleep.

Enjoy your shifting.
