@TheMovies_Pod Hi Daniel, that sounds very interesting. Thank you for reading my post. I'm no longer active on this app, but would DMing a voice message with the pronunciation help?

@MaeneSigne Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm working on a review of Didier Konings' new film WITTE WIEVEN but haven't yet found a consistent pronunciation of the title I'm comfortable using. I read your blog post on Susan Shiney's site & figured you & by proxy, your aunt, would know best.

“Now, my spiders and I endlessly weave the lace that adorns the trees without ever being disturbed, and the spiders whisper to those who stare at the trees: don't go into the woods, don't go into the woods. The sorceress's eyes are pretty, but dead.” ― Signe Maene, Flemish Folktales Retold.

@JonWriting Thank you so much Jon! Hope you'll enjoy it! ☺️

🧹🧙‍♀️SURPRISE 🧙‍♀️🧹 It’s no secret that witches and their darkly enchanting ways often occupy my thoughts, so it’s probably no surprise that I felt compelled to write a tiny non-fiction book about the figures who so often haunt my mind!

@jimineuropa @writerofscratch I don't know much about Scrabble and I think this is a very interesting post!

@writerofscratch @MaeneSigne , is that true about Flemish Scrabble?

@Grimniu @EchoesofthePas1 @LissaSloan De bronnen die gebruikt zijn om dit werk te creëren zijn een heleboel oude Vlaamse volksverhalen uit tientallen werken. Dit boek is ons eigen werk waar jaren research aan voorafging. Dus er is geen oorspronkelijk werk. Maar dit is een goede tip: dbnl.org/tekst/cock001v…

@MaeneSigne @EchoesofthePas1 @LissaSloan Van welk Vlaams werk is dit afgeleid? Zou het oorspronkelijke werk graag lezen.

'Flemish Folktales Retold is a delightful and atmospheric introduction to the dark and oftentimes quite unsettling world of Flemish folklore.' -@LissaSloan, author of Glass and Feathers. Thrilled with this lovely review of Flemish Folktales Retold: fairytalemagazine.com/post/review-by…
