the Orin call: the Papineau burial custom
After a burial, rural Papineau-region Québecers purportedly drill a small hole down from ground level all the way down through the lid of the coffin, to let out the soul, if it wants out.
Context
A fragment of Québécois folk-culture keyed to the theme's ground zero: "rural Papineau-region Québecers purportedly drill a small hole... through the lid of the coffin, to let out the soul." The Papineau region — the A.F.R.'s birthplace (n304, n112), the E.W.D.-festooned mining country — carries its own burial folklore, the soul given an escape route from the dumped-on earth. The insurgency's homeland has a death-custom about letting the trapped out; landed here as the folk-texture of the region the whole theme keys to.
