100witches:99- CassandraFrom Greek mythology, Cassandra is the princess of Troy, daughter of Queen Hecuba and King Priam. While not a witch in the narrow sense of the term, her clairvoyance and prophetic abilities coupled with her marginalization and incarceration are enough to include her in a broader definition.As is typical in Greek myth, her power and curse are the results of divine assault. Depending on the source, Cassandra received the initial gift of prophecy from Apollo in an attempt to seduce her. When she refused his advances, he spit into her mouth, cursing her so that while she would have accurate prophecies, no one would believe her. The tension of continually speaking the truth to those who deny it was enough to drive Cassandra insane. Deranged and looking into her family’s dark future with no one to heed her warnings, she foretold the fall of Troy and the destruction of her family. The moral of the story? Listen to the women in your life, especially when they try to warn you. Even more, listen to the people screaming fact-based warnings about the future at the tops of their lungs, because you’re driving us insane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandrahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_(metaphor) -- source link
