Witches, it was believed, went unbelted.

Lookin' up Russian folklore and fairy tales, particularly death folklore. I love Baba Yaga stories, but I realized I haven't read that many, and I conflate Baba Yaga with the fairytale function of witches in general, which naturally has been highly informed by Grimm's fairytales. Russian folklore is amazing. I wish I still had Gail around so I could ask her stuff.

This is proving to be very useful.

LOL, it's actually from a cartoon...+20 C is about 68 Fahrenheit, that's pretty warm (if I'm reading that right). It's about 74 Fahrenheit here, but annoyingly chilly because it's so windy. Drives me crazy.
