“To take Elder wood from a living Elder tree without reciting a very special spell- which I call the Green Pact- was to risk death or torment at the hands of the offended Elder-spirit. The spell went like this: "Old gal, give me some of thy wood, and I shall give thee some of mine, when I grow into a tree.”

“Before villages and settlements began "dividing" themselves away from the "outside" world, which could only have occurred when they became permanent settlements tied to agriculture, there was no Hedge dividing the world of humans and animals from the "spirit world." The Hedge is a metaphysical reality only to the extent that we make it so. And we no longer consciously make it so; we unconsciously conceptualize our experience of this world in that way, and thus, a lot of time has to be spent learning to "cross the hedge" or put our minds into a condition that lets it experience *more* of reality, including reality's hidden (to us) reaches.”

“Whether or not dealing with the Devil might mean the forfeiture of one’s soul was likely not a major concern of ordinary or uneducated people in Early Modern times, either—beliefs on the afterlife were also not uniform and neat across Folk Europe. The idea of taking up residence in the Fairy World after death (to make an example) was a genuinely held belief among many people in the British Isles in the Early Modern period. This was a complete alternative vision of the afterlife which stood alongside the official narrative that one either went to “heaven or hell” when they died.”
