Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

We have had our summer evenings, now for #October eves!"

The Hum was more than a sound. It was the electric ley of the land manifesting. We walked underneath its lines and were transformed. Outsiders called us trespassers, filthy hippies, mad marchers. We just called ourselves Children of The Hum. – Trippy Pete, ex-Pylon Person #VOH

In having an intimate knowledge of the paths she treads, the witch not only knows where and when to gather herbs, she develops a profound relationship with their ecosystem of spirits. Around this bend wild strawberries, in this stretch the Wood Sprite called Whipfast. – #EmilyCBanting 1981 #WitchSky

Sadly with the various limitations on international postage, I can now no longer ship to the USA or Europe. UK orders only.

When I pass under a transmission tower, I look up and wish for The Hum to start anew. I want to be one of its children again, to re-connect to the electric ley of the land. Marching the wires and saying: "Fuck you!" to farmers one last time. – Trippy Pete, ex-Pylon Person, 1982

Some lanes and tracks hold a feeling of being shadowed on even the fiercest summer days. Shadows due to something more than high hedge and tree. Lanes and tracks that are the territories of temporal shades, thick with the sense of other times breaking through. – #CJosiffe

At Lammas, the borders of Faery expand. They enfold. They entangle. To walk the edge of the field is to risk accidentally crossing into those silvered lands with two moons and unfamiliar stars. No wonder it is regarded as a date of disappearance. – #CLNolan #Lammas

The Hum called us to walk under its lines, to listen to its songs. The Hum called us to become part of the electric ley of the land. It opened up the way into another England and when it stopped, not all of us made it back. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave, ex Pylon Person

I used to find this picture - and the whole concept - of a flooded valley quite haunting.
Actually, I still do

Artist: Ronald Lampitt
(Our Land in the Making, 1966)

Illustration divided into two frames. The upper frame shows a cut-through depiction of a flooded village with intact church and stunted trees, green in hue under the water as fish swim past.
Below is an innocuous, conventional scene of a peaceful reservoir in sunlight

Many farmers retain a sense of sympathetic magic their long ancestors would recognise. They construct field wards – often taking the shape of Wicker Kings or Queens – in folkloric belief that like scares away like. Few would dare tell them this practice doesn't work. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreThursday
