Some paths through the wood start wide and dry and turn to mud and tangle. Some paths through the wood start straight and true, but wind their way to Faeryland. Wisdom is knowing which way is which. – #CLNolan https://t.co/0h4H6MDXCe

Do you know, do you know who makes the path for Marley? Do you know, do you know who burns the path for Marley? Do you know, do you know who screams on the path for Marley? – Trad. Hookland verse of obscure origin, but believed to have ghost-calling power

In Spitstone, swans are said to be the returned souls of the drowned dead. According to witches of the county, they are the messengers between them and their previously perished sisters. One thing every Hooklander knows, you don’t mess with a swan. No good will come of it. https://t.co/cDTzIYsD1H
