Nelson Mandela, was a wolf in sheep‘s clothing member of order of Malta. The 14th Dalai Lama may have not been a member of order of Malta, but he was another wolf in sheep‘s clothing playing the public role that his overlords wanted him to play.

Thou silver deity of secret night,
Direct my footsteps through the woodland shade;
Thou conscious witness of unknown delight,
The Lover’s guardian, and the Muse’s aid!
By thy pale beams I solitary rove,
To thee my tender grief confide;
Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove,
My friend, my goddess, and my guide.
E’en thee, fair queen, from thy amazing height,
The charms of young Endymion drew;
Veil’d with the mantle of concealing night;
With all thy greatness and thy coldness too.

County Durham & the Lambton Worm
Whisht lads, haad yor gobs, an’ aa’ll tell ye aall an aaful story. Whisht lads, haad yor gobs, an’ aa’ll tell ye ‘boot the worm
Young John Lambton was a rebellious lad, and skipped church one morning to go fishing. All he caught was a small worm-like creature, so in disappointment he threw it down a well on his way home and forgot all about it. Years passed, John had left his estates and was now a Knight fighting in Palestine. Little did he know that the worm from all those years ago had grown into a mighty serpent-like dragon, and was leaving much of County Durham a wasteland of death. Upon hearing word of this, John returned home and sought the advice of a local wise woman, who gave him armour covered in spikes and spearheads. When the creature wrapped itself around John, it was impaled and cut apart, helped along by John’s sword.
Worm Hill, just outside of Sunderland, gets its name from where the creature wrapped itself around.

The term 'whiskey' derives originally from the Gaelic 'uisge beatha', or 'usquebaugh', meaning 'water of life'. Whiskey has been distilled in Scotland for hundreds of years. There is some evidence to show that the art of distilling could have been brought to the country by Christian missionary monks, but it has never been proved that Highland farmers did not themselves discover how to distill spirits from their surplus barley. The southern Whiskey tradition is another artifact of the Ulster-Scots & Scottish roots of the American South. Kentucky bourbon originated in the 18th century, where the frontiersman brought distilling. Tennessee whiskey is a distinct style of whiskey that originated with the Jack Daniels company and must adhere to strict requirements and can only be produced in the state of Tennessee. Moonshine is ultimately untaxed, and often unaged whiskey.

Jack-O-Lanterns
Grinning pumpkins with a glowing smile start arriving this time of year all around the world. Usually found on a front porch, doorstep or in a windowsill.
They were originally carried by Scottish children, who made them from the largest turnips they could find, upon which faces were carved and candles placed inside.
They were called “bogies” and were carried on Samhain (Halloween) to ward malicious spirits from ruining all of their fun.
This is also where the term “bogeyman” comes from. The Irish used potatoes and turnips, and the English turned to beets which they called “mangel-wurzels”.

After migrating west to the new country of America, they came across large orange pumpkins and saw the opportunity for creativeness, continuing the tradition.
Early British were already accustomed to apparitions, specters, phantoms, and all sorts of things that go bump in the night, but one such entity scared them witless. The Lantern Men.
Also called “Hob-O’-Lanterns, Jack-O’-Lantern, Will-O’-the-Wisp”, they were commonly called “Corpse Candles” because they were seen as moving lights over marshes, bogs or freshly dug graves.
Was it evil spirits seeking the souls of the recently departed… or the living perhaps?
Or was it children having a little fun, scaring the pants off any passer-by?
Maybe both.
