THE THREE "ERINNEYES "OR "FURIES "ARE AMONG THE MOST ANCIENT AND FEARSOME OF THE GREEK GODDESSES; THESE ARE THE GODDESSES WHO AVENGED THE CRIMES AGAINST THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS. THEY RESIDE IN THE UNDERWORLD. WE FIND THEM IN MANY OF THE EARLY CREATION MYTHS, LONG BEFORE THE ZEUS CYCLE. THUS, IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE ERINNEYES ROSE WITH TITANS FROM A UNION BETWEEN AIR AND MOTHER EARTH. SOME SAY THEY AROSE FROM THE BLOOD OF THE MUTILATED URANUS (OURANOS) AND OTHERS SAY THEY ARE THE DAUGHTER OF NYX (NIGHT).
WHOEVER BE THEIR PARENTS, THEY ARE A TRINITY OF DARK GODDESSES WHO PUNISH THE WICKED ON EARTH AS WELL AS IN THE UNDERWORLD. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY AGGRESSIVE AGAINST MURDERERS...ESPECIALLY THE MURDER OF A MOTHER BY HER SON....AS WELL AS CRIMES AGAINST THE GODS AND PERJURY. THE WRATH OF THE ERINNEYES MANIFESTED ITSELF IN MANY WAYS; THE MOST SEVERE OF THESE WAS THE INSANITY INFLICTED UPON THOSE WHO SLAY THEIR PARENTS.
THERE WERE THREE ERINNEYES. THEY ARE:
TSIPHONE--THE AVENGER OF MURDER OR RETALIATION
MEGARA--THE JEALOUS ONE
ALECTO--THE UNRESTING
AS PROTECTORS OF THE RIGHTS OF THE MATRIARCHAL BLOOD LINE, THEY DID NOT FARE VERY WELL WITH THE CHANGE TO A MORE PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY...AND BECAUSE THEY WERE SO ANCIENT AND SO DEEPLY WOVEN INTO THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE, IT WAS MUCH EASIER TO TO TRANSFORM THEM INTO THE KINDLY EUMENIDES, AN EARLIER TRIAD OF GODDESSES FROM THE UNDERWORLD WHO PUSHED EDIBLE PLANTS THROUGH THE GROUND AS GIFTS TO HUMANITY. FROM THEN ON, IT WAS THE ERINNEYES WHO CONTROLLED THE FORCES OF GROWTH THAT WORKED IN THE PLANT KINGDOM FROM BELOW. THUS, THEY WERE ABLE TO REMAIN AS FEMININE EARTH FORCES RATHER THAN THE MASCULINE FORCES WORKING FROM ABOVE IN THE SUNLIGHT.

"MARICA" IS THE ROMAN GODDESS OF RIVERS; SHE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWAMPS, MARSHES, AND BOGS OF ASSOCIATED WITH HER AREA AS WELL AS THE ANIMALS WHO MAKE THEIR HOME THERE. HER NAME HAS BEEN CONNECTED WITH THE OCEAN ALTHOUGH THE WORD HAS ALSO BEEN LINKED TO THE MARSH. BY SOME SHE IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE SAME AS "CIRCE", THE DAUGHTER OF THE SUN. SHE IS A POWERFUL SORCERESS AND PROPHETESS, HER SPELLS AND HERB CRAFT ARE CAPABLE OF AFFECTING BOTH MEN AND GODS.
THE "MINTURNESIAN GROVE", CLOSE TO THE MOUTH OF THE "RIVER LIRIS", WAS DEDICATED TO THE RURAL "GODDESS MARICA". IT WAS DEEMED SO SACRED THAT NO STRANGER WAS ADMITTED WITHIN ITS PRECINCTS, AND ANY OBJECT TAKEN INTO IT, COULD NEVER BE REMOVED. ALTHOUGH ALL SIGNS OF A GROVE HAVE DISAPPEARED, THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE TEMPLE CAN STILL BE SEEN RISING ABOVE THE SURROUNDING MARSH.

NIRRTI is the Hindu Goddess of destruction and death. She dwells in desolate places, watching for people who are hungry or in mourning. She wears dark clothes and has messy hair. Offerings to Nirrti are often black, such as black grain and stones, or diseased and malformed animals, and were usually intended to keep her away from rituals rather than to invite her to join in. As time went on, Nirrti was given male attributes as well as female, and thus also became associated with "third sex" and transgender people. Nirrti's name means "destruction."
