Sryashta spins golden yarn inside which she weaves your fate. (If you are a good and kind person, she may just take matters into her own capable hands and improve it.)
She is the goddess of good fortune and serves as the household assistant of Mokosh, the Slavic earth goddess.
Sryashta is a variant of the Dolya/Nedolya myth.

"Ooooh - oooh- ooohh, Mr Kotter, Mr Kotter!" *
Connie Willis has a new short story/novella anthology, collecting her work from the past twenty years or so. I know how my other B&N gift card is being spent...
"Today, the literary short story must be ferociously controlled and impeccably tasteful. Its appropriate subject is the ineffable sadness of existence and the unspeakable, tender hopelessness of human connection." No wonder I have problems getting through most short stories in The New Yorker. This collection sounds like fun - thanks for linking to the review.
