"In an era when the one-armed bandit of social media vies for your engagement . . . the simple, archaic activity of squishing some free fruit into a secondhand jar feels like the ultimate hag remedy for half the world's problems"

EVERYONE!

It was my absolute pleasure to meet Rosie May, creator of Wessex Hag podcast, this afternoon at Sidmouth Folk Festival as she was working the venue we gave our talk in

I highly recommend following her @wessexhag.bsky.social and listening to her gentle and warming podcast, as I have been

LOAF MASS! 🌾🍞
Episode 8 of Wessex Hag is now live, a little nostalgic reflection on the Harvest Festival at a C of E primary school. Only a little one, because later in the month I’m releasing an absolute UNIT of an episode, all about the mythology of the Green Man + his place in Somerset churches!
