*Ø* Blogmanac | New at the Scriptorium

I've uploaded some new articles to the Wilson's Almanac Scriptorium in the past few days. The latest is about various rain prognostication days from European (mainly English) folklore.

Some other newbies at the Scriptorium:
The month of June Sacred to the goddess Juno
Folklore of July
The Dog Days of Summer What's the background of this common expression?
Lady Godiva Who was the naked lady on the horse?
The Fairlop Oak Fair How one man created a tradition of celebration
Vikings! Lindisfarne, and the Cuerdale Hoard
The Heart that Would Not Burn The life and death of Percy Bysshe Shelley, in brief
Assassination and a prophetic dream Dream that told of the death of a British Prime Minister

As always, these new articles are listed in the Articles Index. Send some bucks for the overdue $420 Internet bill and I'll write some more. Aww, what the hell. I'll do it anyway.
