A first-millennium family of mice. Mysterious, ancient monoliths on a windswept, chilly island. Their separate discoveries overturned centuries of established history. Megaliths For hundreds of years, historians thought the Azores were discovered by the Portuguese in the 1400s. A remote and difficult to reach archipelago of 9 islands in the North Atlantic, they appeared to be completely uninhabited.

My dad wasn’t a water witch, but he swore by Old Man Marcus.*  8000+ Years of Witching We've been hiring a water witch to dowse for new wells for as long as my farming family can recall. Even deep in our Midwest Bible Belt, it wasn't considered witchcraft. It’s folk wisdom that works. Farmers and homesteaders are a practical lot; they don’t worry about the how. It works, you dig […]

What she finds out next is surprising and hilarious. No spoilers […]
Those of a certain generation will remember late nights with cable TV.  We'd aimlessly flick through channels, hoping to find something to watch while drowsing off.  At midnight, the national anthem and a waving flag would signal station signoff before static ruled the airwaves until morning. Maybe you nodded off to the blue grid of the cable guide channel as it scrolled through the channel offerings. Perhaps a scene […]

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! In this episode we are setting the stage for our discussions of demonology. This is the first part, and this will be a subject we revisit consistently but not continuously, and we are starting out with poltergeists!
