The old gods will have their way, and the blemish of organized religion in the story of our folk will be forgotten.

Folklore of Rhode Island: Mercy Brown
It is truly amazing, the insanity that can spring from mass panic, as we have all seen in our current world.
In Rhode Island, during the late 1800s, there was a tuberculosis out break throughout the state.
As a result of the destructive herd mentality, many came to the conclusion that vampires were to blame.
People began believing that the only solution to end this cycle, and put a stop to the tuberculosis, would be to exhume the corpses of those who had died from the disease, and burn their hearts.
The most famous case of alleged vampirism was that of Mercy Brown.
Mercy died of tuberculosis at the young age of 19.
After burying Mercy, her immediate family were all infected by the same illness. Her brother claimed to have woken up one night to find Mercy sucking blood from his arm.
When he called for his parents, Mercy fled into the night through the boy's bedroom window.
Mercy's father consulted with a local physician, and they decided to dig up Mercy's corpse, to burn her heart.
When they pulled Mercy's corpse from the earth, and cut out her heart, they were horrified to find that while the rest of her corpse was ice cold, her heart was still warm to the touch, and full of blood.
The physician advised Mercy's father that more would have to be done, to stop his daughter from leaving her grave night after night, to terrorize her poor brother
On doctors orders, Mr. Brown took his daughter's heart home. He called his son to the hearth, where they placed Mercy's heart on the burning logs.
When nothing was left save for a pile of ashes, Mr. Brown instructed his son to eat his sister's remains.
The boy complied in desperation.
He choked on his sister's ashes, and fell dead to the floor.
Two children dead, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown, were still infected with tuberculosis.
The couple succumbed to the illness, and died a month later.
Many corpses were exhumed during this period, and tuberculosis still spread well into the 1900s

Columbia, American Goddess of War
Along with representing the country itself and it's ideals Columbia is also a war goddess. In The Apotheosis of Washington in the Capitol Building she is the only non-Roman goddess featured among the attributes of America, symbolizing War and the strength with which America could protect and vanquish her enemies. While Columbia does find antecedents and contemporaries in Lady Liberty and the Roman Libertas, she also succeeds Minerva as a war goddess, with shield, sword, and Eagle companion she will mercilessly fight America's enemies and valiantly support the men in the war effort, often being used as a promotional image to call men to war, to both honor and protect our goddess.
