You ask villagers why they make rough music, why they beat pans and shout? They tell you it is to drown out the screams of the barrow worms that make men and women infertile, that sour the soil, make cattle sicken. Do not ask for proof, you are in the land of living folklore.

@Kate_Dancingcat Bill was right. It is a deep and important idea. In its primal response both a connectivity with the past and a reforging of current community in telling the land.
