@arnemancy Water witching is a term used for dowsing in some parts of the country, but in Hookland and much of the south and south west, it was an archaic term for hydromancy. I would not want to take a bet on which term was used for which activity first.

@spookshow71 @RealSardonicus Paul, that is a ridiculously kind, ridiculously sweet and profoundly lovely thing to say. Thank you. BTW, when we are both less close to death, you can get a round in at the bar for us old coffin-dodgers.

@FolkloreThurs Folklore is a balancer. The poor are given access to hollow hills with gold treasures to found, the powerful and unjust meet fair fates, for every peril there is a champion, for every woe a hope of sleeping king awaking.

@FolkloreThurs Folklore often seems the psychic immune system to all that ails the land and its people. It is the best of us against the worst we face – even if the worst is also ourselves.
