medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings, Some years ago list members provided lots of literature on holy wells (including in some cases the practice of incubation, for those still interested in this question.) What I am looking for now is liturgies or ceremonies for blessing wells, springs, or other bodies of water. If you know of any, please let me know! I would also be interested in narrative accounts of wells or springs (i.e. sources of drinking water) being blessed or exorcised. Of course, St. Columba dealt with the Loch Nes monster or a relative in his day, but I'm really interested in smaller ponds, pools, especially if sources of drinking water.
