Fascinated by folklore and folk horror, delving into dungeons and dragons, musing on music and movies, wondering on the weird, wandering on the weald.

Coming soon, according to the publisher … a paperback version of The Folklore of Devon.

Still slightly academic press pricing, but hopefully more affordable for many of you. This edition will apparently retail at £20

January's album of the month is Albion by Harp.
A beautilluly produced set of songs that take us on a journey through Medieval and Renaissance times. Through ancient landscapes, castles & Tudor villages & the mist on the moor.

2024 will mark the 20th anniversary of this great British masterpiece. If you’ve ever fancied revisiting it I can heartily recommend the magnificent audiobook, read by the never less than wonderful Simon Prebble.

Hellenic New Year superstitions. Some you may recognise from other places as well. Some may be more obscure. https://t.co/CYudHIOAvX

"They looked towards the hilltop & saw a yellow flame rising against the sky. Too-ticky had lit the bonfire
It wrapped itself in flames at once, from ground to top, it gave a roar like a lion & threw its reflection straight down on the black ice"

@Heimdayl Absolutely. A suitably creepy figure from the realm of nightmare.

@greeborunner @brotherurth New house sign?

@LNS_MissJ Canterbury sounds like it would meet your needs. Cathedral, independent shops and historic layout.

Getting caught up some YouTube channels I follow. Just watched a great video by @dungeoncraft on the classic Tom Moldvay module, The Lost City.
