Re: interconnections

In truth, I may regret this because my research sometimes goes on for years, but I must ask because it has been gnawing at my gut for some time. Where would you suggest beginning research on "The Dweller on the Threshold"? As a child, I remember my Grama referring to this "Dweller" a few times. She was a very spiritual woman and our home was always very alive with many things not necessarily of this world, but which nevertheless made perfect sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for all your help and also for all the great and stimulating information you guys have been putting out on the list. Y'all are awesome! *hugs* :-D
