“Among Aro people whether of Arochukwu, Arondizogu or elsewhere: Mazị is the commonest deferential address for male seniors. However, a male age senior whose father is still alive or who is still economically and socially dependent on another person his address is Nwa Mazị. Mazị in two special exceptions, can also be applied to females namely, when a woman has become very old and has become undoubtedly influential; and again when a woman becomes Eze Arọ and thus the number one person among the Aro people.”

Saint Giles – His Bells by Charles Altamont Doyle “Charles Altamont Doyle [father to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle] described the spirits he painted in the night sky above St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh as ‘personified memories recalled by the Bells as they ring a merry Midnight’. His phantasmagoric watercolour St. Giles shows a stream of ghosts haunting the city, and includes heroes and villains, celebrities and members of the mob…” (via Dark Classics)
