I honestly think it’s quite a recent change, I think the people who supplied all those stories understood it at some level, anybody who spends time and pays attention to the landscape can feel it imposing it’s will upon them, Christianity had to warp to meet the people

I don’t really believe in anything but I recognise these animistic belief systems as describing a feeling I experience

This is just what fairies or elves etc are which is why I find so much modern folklore inspired literature so irritating because few people understand this, a kelpie is the god of its lake, a bargest of its crossroads, a brownie of its butterchurn

You’re right but I think there’s probably no way to force someone to experience the feeling of connection

an advantage to having boots full of holes is that you can feel the icy water seep into your skin from under the fallen leaves

this isn't about feeling affronted or attacked, it's about you projecting an image and worldview you probably don't intend, I care about you and want you to know how it comes across when you do this (tory)

You have to leave the apples in place so you can come back next week and see how much more they’ve rotten (seriously though thank you very much that’s really kind!)

this'll be a hillfort or some other earthwork, which is why it's in that script, basically means its a historic site
