Etymology et al
Feb 19, 2002, 11:56
Considering the churches mission to discredit and generally hide everything pagan etc, and given the wholly oral tradition of preservation of records and knowledge used by the ancients - it got me thinkin'...

How many veiled references and folkloric echoes of those times still survive in general usage today - for example, we say we "move in different circles, or have a circle of friends", " twig onto something", "touch wood" - its little things that I tend to take for granted that reveal possible connections when you examine their roots.. curious.
