Instead of working through intimidation, the Furies are usually content to work through persuasion and compromise. The personal views of each Fury vary greatly from member to member; however, honor and their connection to the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Wyld%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Wyld%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BWyld%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="381-20963484525def83bbf1a54" href="/wiki/Wyld" title="Wyld">Wyld</a> tend to be constants for all members. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">While the Black Furies present the face of a women-only club, they count a surprising number of male <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22metis%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22metis%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bmetis%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="381-20963484525def83bbf1a54" href="/wiki/Metis" title="Metis">metis</a> among their ranks. In spite of legends that say Black Furies only give birth to females, male cubs are occasionally born to a Fury. They ceremonally sacrificed male cubs in the past, now however a few are given to other tribes, while the rest are secretly sacrified. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Furies can either be born into the tribe or recruited from other tribes, particularly ones that show little respect to women. In part, the exchange of their newborn male cubs allows them to take away female cubs that are in dangerous circumstances. </p> <h3 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Political Culture </h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">The Black Furies divide their roles within the Tribe according to their age. Young Furies are considered "<i>Maidens</i>", as long as they have not birthed a child. The Black Furies believe that breeding is a sacred duty and gift, and carefully choose the fathers of their children. After that event, they are regarded as "<i>Mothers</i>". When a mother becomes too old to bear children, they are referred to as "<i>Crones</i>". </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The Black Furies have added several additional tenets to the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Litany%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Litany%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BLitany%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="381-20963484525def83bbf1a54" href="/wiki/Litany" title="Litany">Litany</a>: "Suffer no abuse of Woman", "Keep the Wyld Places Pure", "Train the Weak, Protect the Helpless" and "Remember your parents". </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Although Furies tend to operate with similar methods, there are lines of division in how much men are to be shunned. All Furies, no matter their view, will avenge a crime against a female. Older Furies tend to regard men more lowly than others, viewing them as little more than tricksters and troublemakers; but are also among those Furies that are the first to point out that Man is half of the equation and should not be pushed away. Younger Furies tend to have more liberal views regarding Garou in general and men in particular, and many are willing to work with males for the benefit of everyone; but there are several who have taken up rather misandric views and begin to lose themselves to their own Rage. </p> <h3 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> Religious Culture </h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">As females, the Black Furies view themselves as having a closer connection with the Earth mother <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Gaia%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Gaia%20%28cWOD%29%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGaia%20%28cWOD%29%7CGaia%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="381-20963484525def83bbf1a54" href="/wiki/Gaia_(cWOD)" title="Gaia (cWOD)" class="mw-redirect">Gaia</a> than other tribes.

Some Furies equate the Patriarch with the Wyrm, others with the Weaver, and some even with the Abrahamic God. In contrast, the Furies revere the Wyld as a force of femininity, of instinctual thought instead of intellectual abstractions that are of the Weaver (and regarded as masculine by the Tribe). The Wyld is the force that keeps the cycles of Gaia and Luna moving and complements them. </p><p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key whitewolf:rte-parser-cache:1798 --> Loading editor Insert: – — … ° ≈ ≠ ± − × ÷ ← → · § • Sign your name: --~~~~ Wiki markup: {{}} | [] [[]] [[Category:]] #REDIRECT [[]] <s></s> <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <code></code> <blockquote></blockquote> <ref></ref> <div class="references-small"></div> <references/> <includeonly></includeonly> <noinclude></noinclude> <nowiki></nowiki> • (templates) Symbols: ~ | ¡ ¿ † ‡ ↔ ↑ ↓ • ¶ # ¹ ² ³ ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ ‘ “ ’ ” ¢ $ € ₦ £ ¥ Characters: Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ĺ ĺ Ń ń Ó ó Ŕ ŕ Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ź ź À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù  â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô Ŝ ŝ Û û Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü Ÿ ÿ ß Ã ã Ẽ ẽ Ĩ ĩ Ñ ñ Õ õ Ũ ũ Ỹ ỹ Ç ç Ģ ģ Ķ ķ Ļ ļ Ņ ņ Ŗ ŗ Ş ş Ţ ţ Đ đ Ů ů Ǎ ǎ Č č Ď ď Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ľ ľ Ň ň Ǒ ǒ Ř ř Š š Ť ť Ǔ ǔ Ž ž Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ Ǣ ǣ ǖ ǘ ǚ ǜ Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ğ ğ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ Ċ ċ Ė ė Ġ ġ İ ı Ż ż Ą ą Ę ę Į į Ǫ ǫ Ų ų Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ Ł ł Ő ő Ű ű Ŀ ŀ Ħ ħ Ð ð Þ þ Œ œ Æ æ Ø ø Å å Ə ə • {{Unicode|}} Greek: Ά ά Έ έ Ή ή Ί ί Ό ό Ύ ύ Ώ ώ Α α Β β Γ γ Δ δ Ε ε Ζ ζ Η η Θ θ Ι ι Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ Ν ν Ξ ξ Ο ο Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ ς Τ τ Υ υ Φ φ Χ χ Ψ ψ Ω ω • {{Polytonic|}} • (polytonic list) Cyrillic: А а Б б В в Г г Ґ ґ Ѓ ѓ Д д Ђ ђ Е е Ё ё Є є Ж ж З з Ѕ ѕ И и І і Ї ї Й й Ј ј К к Ќ ќ Л л Љ љ М м Н н Њ њ О о П п Р р С с Т т Ћ ћ У у Ў ў Ф ф Х х Ц ц Ч ч Џ џ Ш ш Щ щ Ъ ъ Ы ы Ь ь Э э Ю ю Я я IPA: t̪ d̪ ʈ ɖ ɟ ɡ ɢ ʡ ʔ ɸ ʃ ʒ ɕ ʑ ʂ ʐ ʝ ɣ ʁ ʕ ʜ ʢ ɦ ɱ ɳ ɲ ŋ ɴ ʋ ɹ ɻ ɰ ʙ ʀ ɾ ɽ ɫ ɬ ɮ ɺ ɭ ʎ ʟ ɥ ʍ ɧ ɓ ɗ ʄ ɠ ʛ ʘ ǀ ǃ ǂ ǁ ɨ ʉ ɯ ɪ ʏ ʊ ɘ ɵ ɤ ə ɚ ɛ ɜ ɝ ɞ ʌ ɔ ɐ ɶ ɑ ɒ ʰ ʷ ʲ ˠ ˤ ⁿ ˡ ˈ ˌ ː ˑ ̪ • {{IPA|}} This field is a spam trap.
