Currently made it to source 598 out of 2736. That is approximately 22% (21.85672514619883…). Outlining the remainder of the year: this is the last official update for 2020. That does not mean that I might not post another update or two before 2021. It all depends on how much progress I continue to make.

Until then, True Believers, Excalibur! 😎

For thousands of years people believed in magic. They were simple folk – often afraid and confused – unable to grasp the scientific world around them. They struggled to: * explain natural events * understand why bad things happened * barter with fate * accept their place and rank in society * influence things around them * blame […]
