Some say it's hard to be an urban witch. I disagree. I walk outside and the puddle on the pavement is my scrying mirror. I collect omens from the trash in the gutter. I guerrilla garden so I'm not confined by walls. Foxes bring me gossip. Streets sing me their secret names.– #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

A gorgeous depiction of a Hookland Wicker King. We don’t use the word gorgeous enough for work of such dark magnificence that it gives us shivers.

When I as an immigrant, I realised the English paranormal investigation scene was entirely riddled by a vile class system, I became a champion of terrace hauntings, weatherboard spirits. The privileged phantoms of the aristocracy had enough sycophants, my focus was to be neglected shades.– #CJosiffe

Swedish Rhapsody… this Sunday afternoon / evening has been mainly spent creating another shonky creepy little Procreate sort of animation, this one about number stations. Accidentally chopped the sliders off the radio. Gah.

new Desert Oracle! one of my fav podcasts, the half hour length and the @redblueblacksilver.bsky.social music makes it great for a thoughtful exercise break when I'm working. I listen to old episodes pretty regularly and have def been influenced by Ken Layne's philosophy

Ashcourt has a reputation for time slips. It is seemingly possessed of several streets that refuse to stay in the now. Stories such as those of John Holt, who set out to visit him mother in 1981 and found himself in 1961, regularly feature in the town's papers. – Brian Danebury

There are places where time stretches, where a walk of 200-yards inexplicably steals an hour. Temporally porous places, where the then drips into the now, the present becomes lost 700 years from where it should be. Exploring them is never without risk, for time is the truest ghost maker. – #CJosiffe

Day 25 of #HooklandChristmasTree. Maybe you had too much apple brandy last night, maybe you've been flustered cooking/resolving family fights, but the last decoration goes on at lunch. A silver Starfall Common Falling Star with a trail of squishing star rot. Blessings to you all.

Day 24 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. We place miniature ceramic bee hive on the tree. Time to tell the sleeping bees all our news, tell them of the year. All its joyful arrivals, all its harrowings and sad exits. We sing them the land and ask for honeyed blessings.

Day 23 of the #HooklandChristmasTree. Time for the Empress Eel garland to be draped across the branches. No tawdry tinsel, but shimmer and reflecting gleam of stuffed eel skin. The Empress Eel’s head watching from the deep needles with black glass eyes and a polished tin crown.
