She has more hair than she needs;
In the sun 'tis woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.
--from Witch-Wife by Edna St.Vincent Millay

I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms & the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.

In 1850 a hawthorn tree halted the widening of the road between Glenluce and Newton Stewart because it was 'faerie property'.

Did you know? The demon "Idun" in SMT5 was based similar entity in Japanese folklore known as "Bulleta". This is because director Shigeo Komori was a huge fan of Darkstalkers and also because I said so, which makes it true because SMT content creators are the word of God.
