GIP, and a link
When I was visiting me mum last week, she gave me some back issues of Archaeology magazine, and today I found this interesting article about a woman who found buried evidence of witchcraft in her yard in Cornwall.
From the article: Over the centuries, many in the British Isles have appealed to witches in times of need--to cure a toothache, concoct a love potion, or curse a neighbor. Witchcraft, the rituals of a number of pagan belief systems, was thought to offer control of the world through rites and incantations. Common as it has been over the past several centuries, the practice is secretive and there are few written records. It tends to be passed down through families and never revealed to outsiders. But archaeologist Jacqui Wood has unearthed evidence of more than 40 witchy rituals beneath her own front yard, bringing to light an unknown branch of witchcraft possibly still practiced today.
Cool!
As for the icon, you can tell that I thought the pairing of Spock and Uhura was totally hot, canon be damned!
