The witch's calendar of harvest refuses ink-marked dates. She knows the turn year by berry swell, by movements through colour towards ripeness. She waits on the mistletoe drupe, not in hope of Christmas kisses, but future cures. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

The colours were already in the glass. It was fun trying to work out where and what fungi to paint.

If you were offered a portal, a way to step into the other-worlds, to reconnect with all that we have been and could be, would you take it?

Let the Wild Gods Rise! Bridging Between the Worlds with Jackie Morris and Tamsin Abbott

Let the Wild Gods Rise. Easy to say and harder to do - but if you were offered a portal, a way to step into the other-worlds, to reconnect with all that we have been and could be, would you take it? ...

"There is an aliveness...Places where you can go, where the where the veil feels thinner. And what it seems to me you’re creating with your images, are places where the veil can feel thinner, simply by being in the presence of what you’ve made."

This was a rather wonderful conversation.

"Remember as thou standest by,
As thou are now; so once was I.
As I am now, thou soon must be;
Therefore, prepare to follow me."

Remembering former potato dealer John Standeven, who died on this day in 1854 at the age of 31.

Because I need to be reminded of how this book, Wild Folk, (which is still fighting to survive) was worth making.

Tamsin Abbott @tamsintheshed.bsky.social · Jul 23

Turn down the lights, turn up the volume for a sublime moment. The words of Jackie Morris read by Jerome Flynn put together with music by Dougal Abbott. This is balm for the soul. (Stained glass by me!)

One more work day and the front cover side will be drawn. Then we apparently send it to the current Lord Dunsany. This is my life now.
