I poked around the ruin of the haunted barn at Cogwood. It didn’t give up its ghosts in this heat. #MattAdams https://t.co/Nx2BVF0V2x

@QuoththeRaven2 @gummitch_uk Thank you. I truly do believe that re-enchantment is resistance, that we have to oppose all those who want to turn the stories stored in the land into squalid blood and soil narratives.

A dog was often buried first in a boneyard, because it was believed that the first interned became the Churchyard Watcher.

@RuthEJBooth It was a traditional English practice to try and avoid being either the first or last burial in a graveyard, as the first burial was said to be the Watcher of the boneyard until the last body was buried there.

@RuthEJBooth In Essex and East Anglia, aside from horse skulls under thresholds, dogs have also been found under hearth or in walls. Place it seems, will have its protector.

@Chirurgic You don’t convince me, but for a lot of people, the sacrifice is made by the God for them and they don’t feel they are sacrificing anything.
