Took some time to work out your clever quip ;) Amazon of course is the fount of all knowledge........

Hi Branwen,
To return to the subject of wells, a lot of wells have 'celtic' saints attached to them. the saint having the attributes of, or a direct relation to a god/ goddess. Healing wells probably come under this heading, so what does a 'black well' have to do with death considering wells are for water and healing? I can think of cattle poisoning if the water is foul but not much else....
