thewaynorth: The Black Death comes; art by Theodor Kittelsen The plague was often personified as an old, wandering hag with a broom and a rake.  She would wander the countryside and pass through villages; if she swept the place with her broom, it meant everyone there would die, but if she only used her rake, it meant that some of the people there would live.
