The Sweet Salt of the Earth

“An innovative modern classic” – Goodreads Reviews

This story was most recently part of ‘Onwereldse Sprookjes’, a fairytale anthology published by EdgeZero. It was first published  in  ‘Meer dan Menselijk’, an anthology on gods and goddesses (available in paperback and e-book; proceeds go to the Dutch Autism Association), as well as in Out of this World Magazine.

The people of Forest Fields shower most of their gods with admiration and offerings but to Ragda, goddess of roots and all things beneath the earth, they are far less generous. After all, the things she controls lay beneath the ground, unseen under layers of dirt, out of sight and out of mind.

They say tireless Ragda herself does not mind the lack of people’s affection for her and continues to make things grow and flourish – no matter the taunts and ridicule she has endured from god and human alike since memory serves. Until one day, the limit she herself did not know existed is reached.
