This is the season of the Hurskan! Her name has always been Guabancex, the Angry Woman, Rider of the Winds, goddess of the hurricane. But, bdfore she makes her yearly entrance from her birthplace in Africa’s hot desert, GuatuaBa! the herald must announce her with his thunder and lightening. She then makes her entry, sweeping down trees, houses and Nature’s rotting debris. But the hurakan is not yet done! GuatuaBa!’s twin, Coartisqoe, the Deluge, comes down from the mountains to do the most damage. He is the Surge. Before sattelite photography, how dod the women potters know about Guabancex’s “S” shape? Not with an eye in the center, but the angry face of the goddess with flailing arms, seen from above!
