[I started this post in May, but events, pandemic and otherwise, pushed it to the back burner until now...]
Starting off this post with a pair of quotations:
- *Author Charles Godfrey Leland: "...witchcraft, like the truffle, grows best and has its raci[e]st flavour when most deeply hidden."
- What a great way to conjure up an image through comparison.
- Lactantius (an early Christian author who became an advisor to the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine I): “Devils so work that things which are not, appear to men as if they were real.”
- What a great way description from back in the early beginning of the Christian religion.
