Modern Maiden, Mother, and Crone

Recently, I was formatting my draft of a story with a working title “Yottadere Roommate.” At the end of the drafting, I had the following hint note for editing:

“Asher is a symbol for life. So, the story dramatizes a female alcohol abuser and her relationship with life. Thus, it could be relevant to the stereotypical party girl, wine mom, or spinster living in Boxed-wine-and-cats-land.”

Wait, is that threesome the maiden (party girl), mother (wine mom), and crone (spinster/divorcee) of contemporary Leftism?

Need to change the name of the alcoholic female lead as Aria don’t work. I am thinking of either Ariadne or Ino.

Here are a few female names associated with Dionysus (Greek god of wine) and Bacchus (his Roman equivalent):

1. **Ariadne**: She was a princess of Crete who became the wife of Dionysus.

2. **Maenad**: These were the female followers of Dionysus known for their frenzied rituals. You could use **Maenad** as a symbolic or thematic name.

3. **Thyone**: This is another name for Semele, the mortal mother of Dionysus.

4. **Sparagmos**: This name refers to the ritual tearing apart of animals or humans, often done by Maenads. It could be a unique and symbolic name.

5. **Ino**: She was a mortal queen of Thebes who became a goddess and a follower of Dionysus.

Note to self, consider changing Asher’s name to either Vito or Vitali, so he more explicitly represents life.

Currently, I am a drafter and plodding editor of my own fiction stories. Looking towards the future when edited stories turn into published ones.

Here I am starting to bare my soul to give you a preview of what I have been working on.

See “Harvest of Blood” in this site’s menu bar for a preview of a draft chapter from Boudica and The Butcher, a novel set in a future Second American Civil War.
