#pendle forest

[maleficea]

"There is still a tradition, or a superstition, that a girl-child born in Pendle Forest should be twice baptised; once in church and once in a black pool at the foot of the hill. The hill will know her then. She will be its trophy and its sacrifice. She must make her peace with her birth right, whatever that means."

The Daylight Gate, Jeanette Winterson
