When i was a lad i was always afraid to go out after dark . Mainly because my Grandma use to scare us with old legends about monsters and spirits and all manor of means of warding them off .I note my Grandma believed in all this as she held Pre - Christian beliefs . By age 8 got over my fear of most of the nightmares that supposedly stalked the night . But i will admit that when i was north this summer i found myself feeling and acting a little superstitious.

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
