26th Day: The Furies

So, after a break from the Prayer book, I’m back with another holiday. Today is the 26th day (3 days before Hecate has her time) and we are honoring the Furies. Those creatures that punish those that have done wrong, both dead and alive. They are to be feared by those that do wrong and are three sisters, Below is some info about them.

The Roman goddess of vengeance. They are equivalent to the Greek Erinyes. The Furies, who are usually characterized as three sisters (Alecto, Tisiphone, and Magaera) are the children of Gaia and Uranus. They resulted from a drop of Uranus’ blood falling onto the earth. They were placed in the Underworld by Virgil and it is there that they reside, tormenting evildoers and sinners. However, Greek poets saw them as pursuing sinners on Earth. The Furies are cruel, but are also renowned for being very fair.

I hope that you have a wonderful night and honor them well.
