For I attended the scene of the murder and saw as is the way of the people in this part of the land, they had hammered iron nails in a circle where the victim‰Ûªs blood was spilled. Whether it will keep the ghost walking to find justice we wait to see. – Sir George Harrington, 1809

@Lancs1812 Though I am sure the practice was spread much more widely. I have certainly heard told of it in Essex.

It was always said that those members of the Society of the Miller’s Word were wind witches. They knew the true calling names for every type of stirring of the air, knew the Windrose Compass. Some said they knew the Devil himself, but that’s often a common slander in magic. https://t.co/c68QqoIyBz

For it is in those patches of dead water, where reflections of other days become tangled, that the Stay Belows love lie on bedsteads made from shopping trolley carcasses. – #MattAdams, 1981 https://t.co/YYWvPb12CD

@AneurinDavid Some of them running magical extortion rackets on the side and dropping too many hints about their secret guilds didn‰Ûªt help their reputations either.

@AneurinDavid I suggest an exploration of the folklore surrounding the Society of the Miller‰Ûªs Word/Miller‰Ûªs magic. The distrust and dislike of some millers seems to have been based on more than their perception of short-changing.
