I'm going to be in Boston soon and would love to poke around.<br /><br />I loved the rare books department at Berkeley; it was like a temple to books. There are only two copies of the first print edition of my dissertation poet left in the world and they had one of them. I used to check it out just so I could have it in my presence while I wrote.Tracy Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668453323039794253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330766246822130643.post-81860111599412801812013-08-24T09:38:38.553-04:002013-08-24T09:38:38.553-04:00Thanks Stella.

The druids marked those places with stones, and later, when the Christians moved into what is now Ireland, they built churches on the sites of the sacred spaces...Jody Casellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892174349776047862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330766246822130643.post-44739742942681713282013-08-24T08:22:52.941-04:002013-08-24T08:22:52.941-04:00Cool story!

I remember them explaining how the Celts believed the space between our world and the world of the dead was thinnest around the end of October and how it was then that the spirits of the dead sometimes crossed over into our world. To appease the not so nice souls, the Celts left offerings of fruits and other niceties. I don't think they discussed anybody's experiences with this, however. Great premise for a novel.
