It's time to raze existence.
It's time to banish light.
It's time to call the void in,

The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'

What the cunning folk of Hookland do on #NewYearsEve - year-walking. May your troubles not cross the threshold of midnight. May blessings walk down the lane to meet you in the coming year.
Year Walking Many countries have a living folk tradition of being able to see into the future at certain times of the year. In Sweden, it is known as Årslång – year walking – and it is practised at Christmas and New Year’s Eve depending on the village. Practitioners are said to go into a deep trance where they encounter various supernatural beings who will challenge them with riddles and tasks. If successfully completed, the beings will then allow a glimpse of events that will happen in the coming year. Strangely, the cunning folk of Hookland also use the term year walking for some forms of divination. Whether it is fairly safe to dismiss some folklorists claims that the shared names shows that the Hookland type of omen walking has clear ties to the Swedish via Danish invasions is a matter I shall not decide. There are both signifiant similarities and differences between the same named practice. For a start, year walking in Hookland is not restricted to only Christmas and New Year’s Eve – dates far too arbitrary, far too tied to calendar convenience for the county’s cunning folk. The practice is also undertaken at the quarter days and other old festivals such as St. Lazarus Eve when the worlds of the living and the dead are known to rub against each other.

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.

Okay, when RotK was released, I was living in Prague. The film opened weeks earlier in Germany. @ghostwoods.bsky.social found a theatre in driving distance that hadn't dubbed it. Four of us piled into his sedan and we drove to a tiny theatre in (which town? no idea) and drove back the same night.

I remember certain roads Dad used to speed down. Way above the speed limit despite what Mum would say. He'd race them like we were being chased by something invisible. Now when I go down them, I can't help but feel spooked. Feel as if something is about to leap from the trees. – Cassie Beard #VOH

A vaguely house shaped allegory for resilience, entropy and the endless war between hope and despair since the builders promised they'd definitely be able to start work on the repair job on the second Friday in October. In 1867.

Witchery is relationships. There can be no good relationship without listening. The witch attends the river not just to learn all it has seen as it has carved the land, but to foster a bond with it. For respect starts in hearing others speak their truths. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Those living with a view of the cemetery of St. Mild Undershaft report seeing not phantom folk, but rather floating ghost lights, parading pillars of blue gas. Often these sightings cause a heightened discomfort for the dead dehumanised are revealed as truly distant. – #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

Some weird shoes for Lilibat. Now she'll say these aren't weird. lol But you can wear long skirts with these, right?
Red high heeled boots with buckled on soles, curved metal platforms and a futuristic metal heel. My description doesn't do it justice.Four buckles all together, which look like they have little flames shooting off them.
