Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

I would guess that the tree she cuts down is used as a christmas tree and then later used for firewood.

YAY, correct. Her is another.
A woman from London married 10 different men from that city, yet she did not break any laws. None of the men died, and she never divorced. How was this possible?

I have two!
What is the beginning of evil, and the end of life?
The poor have too much.
The rich have too little.
It is more evil than Satan.
It is more great than God.
What is it?

Jojo227:
I don't mean to nitpick but the riddle generally goes:
"The poor have it,
"The rich need it,
"Greater than God,
"More evil than Satan,
"And if you eat it, you die."
The answer is "Nothing"
