Hex-Bearers
The hex strikes fear into enemy warriors’ hearts, for it is the harbinger of bloody defeat.Unlike their 'civilised' counterparts, barbarian women had power within their societies, and were not to be crossed. On the battlefield, they tended the wounded, brought supplies forward, and inspired courage. With a strong sense of personal honour, they called down the gods' curses and swore vengeance on anyone who wronged them. Although without formal positions in tribal politics, in some societies a woman could still inherit the influence of her husband or father, and this could be used to take terrible vengeance. Boudicca, the queen of the Iceni from eastern Britannia, is the prime example of a powerful woman - the revolt she started threatened to drive the Romans from Britain.
