Looking forward to this and to visit @CentreMyth for the first time.
In The Eye of the Beholder: imaging and imagining #UFOs: @CentreMyth talk and exhibition in #Todmorden Saturday 11 May 4pm. Our first public event for a touring research project curated by @Centre_4_Legend @ccri_news tickets: folkloremythmagic.com/event-details/…
What an excellent line up of talks!!
This Saturday MORAL PANIC! Taking the current anti-trans panic as a starting point, we’ll be tracing the role of rumour, contemporary legend and conspiracy theory in stoking this and previous moral panics, showing how they’re all inextricably linked. folkloremythmagic.com/event-details/…
Anyone able to help Jane? 😁
Join us for beastly goings on tomorrow... tickets still available for our online talk: Dr Juliette Wood, 'Beastly Beasts: Hybrids in Folklore and Fantasy'. Tuesday 23 April 18:00-19:30 BST. Tickets £6.00 (£4.00 for Folklore Society members with promo code) eventbrite.co.uk/e/beastly-beas…
GREAT NEWS! We have managed to secure a second space just 5 minutes from our current base so we can move our document archives and expand our reference library. We are only £100 short of paying the first 6 months rent on this new room. Can you help? gofundme.com/f/keep-the-fol…
Looking for sources on European sailors' amulets in the C17th & 18th, ironically little luck so far! Can any maritime historians or folklore enthusiasts recommend where to look?🤞@mems_ukc @CamOceanicHist @FolkloreThurs @mvcseminar @CentreMyth @PlymPrivateer @historywomble
The World Dock Pudding Championship's are back taking place once more at Mytholmroyd Community & Leisure Centre on 21 April. Dock Pudding is a local delicacy little-known outside the Calder Valley area of Yorkshire and the competition was founded in 1971 to help preserve it.
More beasts in next week's online talk! Join us for Dr Juliette Wood, 'Beastly Beasts: Hybrids in Folklore and Fantasy'. Tuesday 23 April 18:00-19:30 BST. Tickets £6.00 (£4.00 for Folklore Society members with promo code). eventbrite.co.uk/e/beastly-beas…
And a chance for pupils to meet Bob!
All set up @TodmordenHigh for our Volunteer Drive supported by @HeritageFundUK offering young folk the opportunity to engage with heritage in #Todmorden and gain valuable skills and work experience.
These little faces are appearing in the Centre in a mysterious fashion! The first a short while ago, then I noticed the second on a picture frame today. Either a lovely human visitor leaving us gifts or those pesky Fae folk playing with me! Either way, they do make me smile. 🙂
We’re all set up at Todmorden Town Hall ready for an afternoon of music and activities to celebrate the launch of Calderdale’s Year of Culture!
Would you like a visit from an #asexual author? *writers’ groups *reading groups *#LGBTQIA+ groups *uni/college/6th form *libraries/bookshops Enjoyed by @LgbtBradford @leedslibraries @bradfordlibs247 @CentreMyth @hudlgbtqsoc #IndieApril ko-fi.com/c/7a735fe989

On May Eve, Household's in Shrewsbury and Edgmond decorated their door frames with flowers, particularly marsh marigolds, as well as birch wood and mountain ash. This was believed to ward off witches and prevent evil spirits from entering the home. #Shropshire #Folklore
May Day often involved the joyous gathering of boughs & flowers. Hawthorn branches adorned with May blossoms were used to decorate the door. Mountain ash was also hung to protect from evil spirits & Rosemary tied with white ribbon was gifted to admired maidens
Created an outfit inspired by my book cover (definitely on purpose...) Who do you think wore it best? 😜
Thank you @AngelaRayner. It's always worth repeating. "We have biological women, and we have trans women. And they’re both women: one is a biological woman through sex, and one is a trans woman who has transitioned. Most of the public can get that.” theguardian.com/global/2024/ma…

Oh people on the internet... People on the internet... *Gestures wildly* This is why I drink! 😂
Great to see so much love for Robin of Sherwood. Besides the fabulous writing, the pitch-perfect cast, the beautiful photography and the unforgettable Clannad score, what’s sometimes forgotten is how influential it was to the ongoing Robin Hood legend. For one thing… 🧵 1/5
The littlun was glum this morning. When I asked what was wrong, he lamented "I've lost my magic. I left it somewhere yesterday". And I've never heard a sadder, but more apt, description of Monday morning blues

Nice review of Fairy the Otherworld by Many Names lshadowlynauthor.com/2024/04/19/rev…
May Eve & May Day were supposed to be times of greater than usual activity among supernatural beings. Every fairy fort in Ireland was said to be opened that night, & their inhabitants moved abroad in great numbers, often changing residence at that time - Seán Ó Súilleabháin
@RowdyKate2 Trans people tend to avoid things like communal changing areas for their own safety and comfort anyway. This is a distraction from the real threats to our daughters: things like intimate-partner violence, stalking, and street harassment.
I am 46 years old today and I have finally blocked enough people who speak for me ‘as a woman’ that I’m allowed to say what I actually think on my own timeline. And what I think, speaking as a woman, and a mother of a daughter, is that y’all should leave trans people in peace.
My sympathy, of course, lies primarily with those most directly affected: the trans people now living in justified fear of the systematic removal of their right to participate in UK society as themselves. But there's also a broader impact, on a great many LGBT+ people and others.
More fool me, I suppose, but I never imagined that so many people I've considered friends and political allies could end up buying into a moral panic against trans people so readily. I don't think they realise the impact of their words and actions. It is utterly heartbreaking.
