Motif · Book 6, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

Earth mythology

The floor's palette: orishas in a cemetery, a Yule Cat who eats the naked, the Visitor of 1903, Rudolph as a Puppet-Master, the Madre de Aguas, the Ioway witch, Nekhebit and Semiramis and Yemaya raised by quest — 'loosely and half-assedly based', 'they did it all wrong', and the Bedlam Bride from Odette's own mythology.
