There comes a point when we begin to encounter more polite, respectful and well-mannered ghosts than we do people. This is why I tell those who ask that I prefer the company of spectres to that of the living. - #CJosiffe #Ghosts

When you feel depleted of enchantment, walk the wood. It is where magic lives loudly. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982

There are infections of blood. There are infections of the soul. There are I believe, infections of the place. For the land itself may be wounded by our traumas. Where its psychic skin cracks, the spoilings of rot and wickedness can set in. We call such infections hauntings. – Rev. A. Morley

Goodnight from Gosmer, where the villagers have chosen to burn an effigy of Thatcher the Iron Witch instead of Guy Fawkes. Goodnight from David Appleyard, walking a night filled with bonefire incense and the heady gunpowder smell of exploded fireworks. Goodnight from Hookland.

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."

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

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
