Superstitions

Nonverbal customs deriving from ancient fairy belief survive as well. Our forebears once nailed horseshoes above their doorways to keep them safe from fairies, a good-luck practice still widely observed. We encapsulate four-leaf clovers into keychain ornaments to carry as good-luck charms, but have forgotten that our ancestors used them to see through fairy deceptions.

Stories survive. The only thing they need to do so is change. Recycle as much as you can from unknown sources but please… Don’t make up Aztec Batmans [does the plural grammar rule apply when I’m speaking of a character being duplicated?].  Reality is stranger than that if you need a muse.

Have fun diving into the garbage bins of storytelling and finding PET. Pasto kalo.
