Flotsam and Jetsam. Folklore, customs and odd guilds, gangs and groups.
Elements of these show where the Scarred For Life 70s TV came from. Slow pace, incidental music over funeral recreation, the slow turning of Tollund Man's face to the screen, the end credits of a held shot on swaying silhouetted men holding strange musical instruments. @scarredforlife.bsky.social

The Peat Bog one with its film of Gundestrup cauldron, bronze age fashion show and Mortimer Wheeler and Glyn Daniels in napkins drinking mead from horns is brilliant and hilarious. #archaeology www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Same, altho I find it hard to watch. When this was released it felt like a powerful public act of magic, especially sealed by his own death. Considering the world turned to shit from 2016 I'll be glad of a counter-spell any time soon.

Similar experience. I'd deliberately avoided seeing any trailers, was very nervous about it and here it was: like reading the book with my minds pictures shown in front of me. That first Fellowship at the cinema was an amazing experience.

Barguest & Gytrash. Such a great name for a paranormal solicitors firm.

This year I did. There were so many. I kept being reminded of a scene in Antichrist of raining acorns.

It's only been going a couple of years but has taken off. Bungay does like its shuck! It has had a black dog running race for decades and St Mary's church had a locally made black shuck tapestry inside.

Similar at the abbots barn in Glastonbury, just inside the doorway.

Earliest reference to the clapping song? "3,6,9 the goose drank wine; the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.."

Nice syncing as the book & keys divination method (key in a bible drops out or turns book to yes/no question) used to find thieves/treasure in @magicnotwitches.bsky.social 's 'Cunning Folk' are in Haggard's 'I Walked by Night' used to test love (the key positioned in the Book of Ruth). #folklore
