Twiggy was late out of bed this morning. Eva had to photo bomb in case there were carrots.
Once Twig made it to work she went really well out the front. She will do that once more then it will be up the road.

"The Rose Bower," Edward Burne-Jones, 1890.
Burne-Jones (1833-98) was a great British painter as well as being a designer of tiles, jewelry, mosaics, and stained-glass windows. Although heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, he was considered a star of the Aesthetic movement as well, and modern fans regard him as having a foot in both camps.
Aestheticism believed that art should be simply an object of beauty, rather than preaching a lesson or telling a story. Pre-Raphaelites were all about bringing back intense detail and colors that existed in Renaissance art, which the Aesthetes loved, but they could be preachy and didactic in their art. (See Hunt's painting "The Awakening Conscience" which today is seen as almost comical.) Burne-Jones and his friend William Morris believed in creating beautiful objects, but also in bringing beauty to everyday items like wallpaper and woodwork.
This is part of a series called "The Legend of Briar Rose" which we know as Sleeping Beauty. Here we have the princess sleeping with her attendants in her castle...while the roses continue to creep in. It's one of a number of paintings depicting the inhabitants of the castle asleep while the roses grow around them.
From Buscot Park, Oxfordshire, UK.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Read on Someone’s Recommendation
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today is Wednesday, and it’s time for another post in the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge hosted by Long and Short Reviews. If you’d like to participate in the challenge, you can find the list of topics for 2025 here. If you’re interested in reading other people’s responses to this week’s topic, you can do so here.
Books I Read on Someone’s Recommendation
The Deep
Last year, lovely Lydia Scoch recommended I read The Deep, a novella by Rivers Solomon, and I thought it was brilliant. It’s an original and unique take on the origin of mermaids—and as a fan of mermaids and mythical creatures in general, I found it fascinating.Cher: The Memoir (Part One)
Recently, a friend recommended that I read Cher: The Memoir (Part One), so my husband bought it for me for my birthday. I’ve always enjoyed Cher’s music; I grew up listening to it—it was ubiquitous in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and now when I hear certain songs, I’m transported back in time. The book, which I’m halfway through reading, is brilliant, and I recommend it if you’re a fan.Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher
Someone recommended I read Thornhedge about two years ago, I think it might have been Michael Mock, though I’m not sure. Either way, it’s a novella that wonderfully retells the story of Sleeping Beauty, and I remember not being able to put it down for long.Anyway… that’s quite enough out of me!
Thank you, as ever, for reading my post this week. It means the world.
Until next time,
George

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Moirai
In ancient Greek religion & mythology, the Moirai (a.k.a. in English as the Fates) were the personification of destiny.
There were 3 sisters named: Clotho, who was the spinner; Lachesis, who was the allotter; & Atropos, who was the inevitable, a symbol for death. Their Roman equals are the Parcae.
The Moirai’s role was to make sure that every being, mortal & divine, lived out their destinies. For mortals, this destiny went their entire lives & is pictured as a thread spun from a spindle. A spindle is the thing that Sleeping Beauty touched to become Sleeping Beauty.
Usually, they were considered to be above even the gods, in their role as enforcers of Fate. Zeus was even scared of them. Even though, in some stories, Zeus is able to command them. But these are rare.
The word Moirai (also spelt Moirae or Moerae) comes from Ancient Greek. This means “lots, destinies, apportioners.” It also means a portion, or lot of the whole.
In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the Fates are mentioned in both Inferno & Purgatorio by their Greek names. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the Weird Sisters (or 3 Witches) are prophetesses, who are deeply rooted in both the real & supernatural worlds.
The Moirai are:
- Clotho, the spinner. She spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Roman equal was Nona (“the 9th”), who was originally called upon in the 9th month of pregnancy.
- Lachesis, the allotter or drawer of lots. She measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equal was Decima (“the 10th”).
- Atropos, “inexorable,” or inevitable,” literally “unturning.” She was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of each person’s death. When their time has come, she would cut their life-thread with her shears. Think about the end of Disney’s Hercules, when our main man, Herc, went to save Meg from Hades’ domain. Herc’s life-thread turned gold when he saved. Her Roman equal was Morta (“the dead one”).
In the Republic of Plato, the 3 Moirai sing together with the music of the Seirenes. Lachesis sings the things that were, Clotho the things that are, & Atropos the things that are to be. Pindar, in his Hymn to the Fates, holds them in high honor. He calls them to send their sisters, the Hours (Eunomia, “lawfulness”; Dike, “right”; & Eirene, “peace”), to stop the internal civil strife.
In the Theogony, Hesiod describes the Moirai as daughters of the primeval goddess Nyx (“night”), & the sisters of the Keres (“the black fates”), Thanatos (“death”), & Nemesis (“retribution”). Later in the poem, Hesiod instead calls them daughters of Zeus & the Titaness Themis (“the Institutor”), who was the embodiment of divine order & law. This places them as sisters of the Hours.
In the cosmogony of Alcman (7th century BC), first came Thetis (“disposer, creation”) & then simultaneously Poros (“path”) & Tekmor (“end post, ordinance”). Poros is related to the end of all things.
Later, in the Orphic cosmogony, first came Thesis, whose ineffable nature is unexpected. Ananke (“necessity”) is the primeval goddess of inevitability who is entwined with the time-god Chronos, at the very beginning of time. They represented the cosmic forces of Fate & Time. They were sometimes called to control the fates of the gods. The 3 Moirai are daughters of Ananke.
In the Theogony of Hesiod, the 3 Moirai are personified as the daughters of Nyx & are acting the gods. Later they were daughters of Zeus & Themis, who was the embodiment of divine order & law. In Pluto’s Republic, the 3 Fates are daughters of Ananke (necessity).
The Moirai were supposed to appear 3 nights after a kid’s birth to determine the course of its life. At Sparta, the Temple to the Moirai stood near the communal hearth of the polis. Polis means “city” in Ancient Greek.
As the goddesses of birth who even prophesied the fate of the newly born, Elieithyia, the ancient Minoan goddess of childbirth & divine midwifery, was their companion.
The Erinyes, a group of chthonic goddesses of vengeance, served as tools of the Moirai. Chthonic means concerning, belonging to, or inhabiting the underworld. They inflicted punishment for evil deeds, particularly upon those who sought to avoid their rightful destiny. The Morai were confused with the Erinyes, as well as the death-goddesses, the Keres.
In earlier times, they were pictured as only a few, or perhaps only 1, individual goddess Homer’s Illiad speaks generally of the Moira, who spins the thread of life for men at their birth. She’s Moria Krataia, “powerful Moira,” or there are several Moirai.
In the Odyssey, there’s a reference to the Klothes, or spinners. At Delphi, only the Fates of Birth & Death were revered. In Athens, Aphrodite was called Aphrodite Urania, the “eldest of the Fates.”
In the older myths, they’re daughters of primeval beings like Nyx (“night”) in Theogony, or Ananke in Orphic cosmogony.
The Moirai could be placated as goddesses. Brides in Athens offered them locks of hair, & women swore by them. They may have originated as a birth goddesses & only later their reputation as the agents of destiny. The Moirai were also credited to be the inventors of 7 Greek letters – A, B, H, I, T, & Y.
The Fates had at least 3 known temples: Ancient Corinth, Sparta, & Thebes. The temple in Sparta was situated next to the grave/tomb of Orestes.

# Except from _For Love of a Konbini Idol_
## #MastoPrompt #KonbiniIdolBeyond, sticky, half-consumed gumdrops and candy canes lay scattered on the trail, like carnival beads abandoned in the mud. That way led to another witch.
“If we chant, we can try slipping by,” I said, directing my comment to Kan-chan. If she objected, I would give up that plan. She was definitely the best person to decide, especially with my mind so fuzzy.
Kan-chan nodded, about to speak, but the #hag spoke first. “You’re seekers, bearing Ashiya-dono’s token.”
