The Sisterhood

The Sisterhood is more than a simple fellowship. It is an organization of Furies and their Kinfolk who work for the good of the Tribe

Overview

The Sisterhood is more than a network of Black Fury Kinfolk. It is an organization made up of Furies and Kin, both male and female, lupus and homid. Their goal: to work together for the good of the tribe. While common belief labels the Black Furies as anti-male as well as matriarchal, the truth that all Furies recognize is that without male Kinfolk, the tribe would not exist. In addition, some societies look more favorably upon men to act as spokespersons, particularly in the Middle and Near East. Many male Fury Kinfolk hold prominent positions in the Sisterhood.

One of the most important missions of the Sisterhood is to enable refugees, abused women and children — and men as well — to flee dangerous situations and seek out havens where they can live safely. In earlier times, the Sisterhood organized escape route for accused witches during the Inquisition and cooperated with the Underground Railroad in the U. S., to help slaves get to free states or to Canada. In almost every situation where a refugee population has looked for a way to freedom, whether for political or religious reasons, the Sisterhood has been there to help them.

Some kinfolk members of the Sisterhood are strega, or witches who use hedge magic to aid in operations; others work as administrators, teachers, healers, and field agents leading groups of refugees out of danger, usually at great personal risk. Another significant effort undertaken by the Sisterhood involves the purchase of lands once held by the Furies, including many sacred sites. The Fury Kinfolk hope to establish their own safe enclaves, independent of any country and responsible only to Gaia. They work in rainforest reclamation in Central and South America and have put a lot of time and effort into locating and protecting the vanishing wolves, including some lesser known varieties once believed extinct.

A faction of the Sisterhood are known as the Moon Daughters based in North America. They focus more of their efforts on inserting themselves into various Neo-Pagan movements, working to slowly insert more and more elements of Gaia worship and understanding of nature and the spirits into their beliefs hoping that this will bring lasting mindset changes. This faction also trains interested kinfolk members in the use of hedge magic to aid in their goals, continuing the tradition of having Strega.
