Stolen or borrowed?
I think, they've (American Horror Story) stolen Southern/Scots-Irish folklore with the lines, "I AM queen of every hive and thee tree and the lightning that strikes it..."
I and many USA Upland Southerners have discussed, in part, the potency of the lightning struck tree. Most of 'Our Kind' have several on Our Lands...excellent research department on their part, I suppose?!
Some say the 'song of Amergin', but the lightning struck tree is not in that poem, it refers to a particularly Upland Southern USA tradition...?
