Yeah reading the latest pagan news at the local Sheffield pagan group when I was a student was utterly formative, introduced me to a whole new world. And then i got to know @philh.bsky.social and he’s a lovely man (and a massive inspiration and influence.)

He is a lovely man and for me a constant inspiration. He's one of my deepest friends and I consider myself hugely lucky in that fact. However, if I nag him or say words about his work, I'm coldly accurate. He really is one best writers on his subjects and has been for an awful long while.

philh.bsky.social•66 days ago

Aww, you are lovely!

hookland.bsky.social•66 days ago

Nope, just accurate.

grievousangel.net•66 days ago

Indeed. We do not flatter. We merely tell the truth.

You are wonderful.

Also, you know me well enough to know I'm a terrible curmudgeon who dislikes most people. I long ago ran out of the energy for blowing smoke.

philh.bsky.social•66 days ago

You are too kind!

Thank you! I ended up buying _Acts of Magical Resistance_, which has a lovely essay about wonder at the end of it.

While I fully acknowledge that @philh.bsky.social is one of my closest friends, when I recommend his books it is with the cold, critical knowledge that he is one the most accessible, insightful and distinctive writers on magic and its history of the last 50 years.

We're having a launch event for Delinquent Elementals at Treadwells Bookshop on 26 March.
