The Lady of Tears (Icon)
The Lady of Tears is a woman dressed in the white of mourning, traces of tears still on her cheeks, but with a mysterious smile.
On their way toward the Judge’s justice, the Lady of Tears accompanies the dead. She also consoles the ones still living. Her element is fire, the cleansing fire that destroys the body to set the spirit free.
A dark aspect of the Lady is the Butcher or the Executioner, who cuts or hacks off body parts until nothing is left, but still leaves the ghost trapped. A less grim incarnation is the Lady of Tar, who covers the pyre and the corpse in pitch for a quick and intense fire.
