Wilweorthunga
Wilweorthunga is the Old English practice of fountain or well worship. The practice continues in the present and is characterized by tying cloth to trees near wells to will a vow. This belief was banned in the 16th Canon Law enacted under King Edgar of England (939–946) in the tenth century.
