It was the first time I heard of the term *taig* to refer to the land itself as a distinct being capable of magic and awareness. I'm not sure about the history of the word (and my Google search isn't good enough to verify) but the idea of the taig had stuck with me ever since I read that scene.

<summary type="html">Last week, I wrote a short story called [I Will Hurt You Only Once](https://fedran.com/i-will-hurt-you-only-once/). This is a story about Gichyòbi telling his young daughter about the rite of passage into adulthood such as Rutejìmo's in [Sand and Blood](https://fedran.com/sand-and-blood/). Both of these are about how trauma affects magic in the world of [Fedran](https://fedran.com/).

<summary type="html">One of the first questions asked at world-building panels is "how to get started?". Starting is scary when trying to build a world intended to be used for [decades](https://fedran.com/) as opposed to a (relatively) smaller world for only a short story or two.
