"Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps." - Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (Photo: #PigwiggenWood, Dartmoor)
Harp recital this Sunday! I've loved researching the life of Parish-Alvars, 19th-century harp virtuoso from #Devon who was hailed as the 'Liszt of the harp'. Come and hear his fascinating life story and experience his music. @PloughArts theploughartscentre.org.uk/event/harp-mus…
'Witches' Knickers' This glorious buttercup-yellow jelly fungus is also known as Yellow Brain, Fairy Butter, or Witches' Butter. In Scandinavia, it's known as Trolls' Butter, and was burnt as a protective charm. (Photographed #PigwiggenWood, last Thursday.)
Dear ones, here’s a photo (taken last week) of a scarlet elf cap nestled in the mossy magic of #PigwiggenWood. It's said that the wood elves drink morning dew from the cups. #faerie #woodland #devon
As a young bride, I visited The Drewe Arms on the way to church because landlady Aunty Mable (nearly 100 yrs old) always gave advice to local brides. The pub is now sadly closed. We’re buying it back for the community. YOU can own shares from just £100. drewearms.org

TOMORROW IN EXETER! Me and a bunch of guys. Seashanties, folk, prog-folk...and classical harp. It'll be a riot! exetercornexchange.co.uk/whats-on/the-c…
The diminutive trows of #Shetland sometimes ride through the air mounted on bulrushes. If you see one, you should (if you have not a bible in your pocket) draw a circle around yourself and in God's name forbid his approach. The trow should then disappear. Art: Brian Froud
The malevolent #aughisky (water horse) emerges from the sea in November. It gallops over sands and fields. Do not ride it. It will bound back into the water with you on its back. It will devour you. All of you. Except the human liver, which will float to the surface of the sea.
The dìreach is an oh-so-ugly creature, a kind of #fachan. It has one eye, one leg, one rigid tuft of hair, and one hand emerging from its chest. It haunts the deserted Glen Eiti. Art: #BrianFroud
Rosalind’s work is the real thing. This will be a fascinating talk. It’s online, so wherever you are in the world, pour yourself a glass of mead and settle down to learn more about Faery.

A brownie called Luridan inhabited the island of Pomonia, the largest of the Orkades [Orkney]. He served with wonderful diligence to those families whom he did haunt, sweeping their rooms and washing their dishes, and making their fires before any were up in the morning. (1665)
Look at this glorious gold Anglo-Saxon ring! Found in #Devon in 2018. The #Wembworthy ring is tiny, made for a small woman or even a child. It's decorated with an intricate pattern of intertwined animals and has just been acquired by Exeter's fabulous @RAMMuseum.
Pregnant? Eat LOTS of quinces. "The woman that eateth many quinces during the time of her breeding shall bring forth wise children of good understanding." (17th century maternity advice)
Bran and Sceólang are the hounds of #Irish hero, Fionn Mac Cumhaill. They are also Fionn's cousins because their mother, Fionn's aunt Uirne, was turned into a dog whilst pregnant with twins. The perpetrator of the canine spell was Uirne's jealous mother-in-law, a queen.
Shortly before death a light issues from the house in which the sick person lies. It pursues its way to the church in which the body is to be interred, along the very track subsequently to be followed by the funeral. This is called the Corpse Candle. Art: Frank Holl
There is something so peculiarly fascinating in the old belief, that ‘once upon a time’ the world was less commonplace and humdrum, less subject to the inexorable laws of gravitation, optics, and the like. What dramas it yielded! What poems! What dreams! What delights!

36 years ago, I was misdiagnosed with brain damage at birth & put up for adoption. My mother climbed the hospital walls & stole me out. “Your only child will be stupid.” They said when they got her. She signed the papers. My mother gave me life twice. I give her everything I am.

Hookland's railways are vectors of ghost infection. Even dead lines, butchered by Beaching, still shiver. Vibrations prophesying phantom trains that never arrive. Occasional clouds of time-displaced steam or soot enfolding a crossing. An unquiet territory of constant motion.
