The Eternal Questions

Our exploration raises questions that resist easy answers:

- Why does a rational republic preserve irrational traditions? - How do ancient spirits learn new technologies? - What makes mythology "French" versus simply located in France? - Can folklore survive complete documentation and analysis? - Do we find spirits because we seek them, or seek them because they exist?

Perhaps these questions matter less than the asking. French folklore thrives on ambiguity, on spaces between certainties. The moment we pin down exactly what a White Lady is, she transforms. The instant we map all fairy paths, they reroute. Definition kills mystery, and mystery is folklore's lifeblood.
