Note 152 — Chapter X · Witchcraft.

This is a hill at Torteval, on which, says Mr. Métivier, our ancestors used to light signal fires near the “Hougue Hérault,” where the northern King Herolt made his signals. He says the name is derived from the Breton An Tat, “the old Father,” a name for the God of the Gauls; in Swedish it is Anda, the spirit, or Onda, the evil one. See Notes in Rimes Guernesiaises.
