My first comment on your webpage was on your podcast about The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and the Headless Horseman is described thusly:
The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region, and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air, is the apparition of a figure on horseback, without a head.
“The powers of the air” is a reference to Ephesians 2:2, and I’ve also seen it translated as “powers of the unseen world”. Demons, elementals, ghosts, sprites… there’s really no folkloric distinctions.
As always, love what you do!
Thanks Mike! Glad you’re digging it, and keeping track! We appreciate it. :)
