description: I am Tamar. You know almost nothing about me from the Bibles Genesis 38 account except that I disguised myself as a prostitute to seduce my father-in-law JudahJacobs fourth sonso that I could hold him to his legal obligation to marry me to his third son. I want to tell you about my life about all the things never written down about my family or Anush the woman who raised me. Where I lived people believed I had power greater than all the gods and priests and that I could take a life without so much as touching a person. I was blamed for the deaths of three people in my city. You probably know about two of them but no one knows about the third. Until now. Ignorant assumptions fear and Moon Blood rituals forced a decision that drove me away from everyone. In the end I had the amber earrings to help me. All through the ages I have called out to find your ears and now the time has come to tell you my story.
