Scatalogic Rites of All Nations / A dissertation upon the employment of excrementitious remedial agents in religion, therapeutics, divination, witchcraft, love-philters, etc., in all parts of the globe

by John Gregory Bourke

I fart and snort,

And out the candles I do blow.”

—(Brand, Pop. Ant., London, 1872, pp. 476 et seq., articles “Fairy Mythology,” and “Robin Goodfellow.”)

Herrick describes the food of fairies:—

“ ... with a wine

Ne’er ravished from the flattering vine,

But gentle prest from the soft side

Of the most sweet and dainty bride.”

—(Herrick, “Hesperides;” also quoted in Hazlitt’s “Fairy Tales,” London, 1875, p. 300.)

The “wine” just described would seem to belong, in all fairness, to the classification of Ur-Orgies.
