Thank you, I'm new to using this forum. I wonder if what you mention about bridges is the sources of the "Troll under the bridge" trope. Anyway, the allegorical picture I see in Frazers' observations are that Christ's death and burial=The inaugural sacrifice for the nascent Church as The New Temple and his resurrection and numinousity=The (w)holy angry ghost that haunts the grounds, protecting The Church from interlopers, vendors, and others who would come in over the garden wall, instead of by The True Gate.

My uncle always said it was like three generations of men with the same last name.
