The menhirs in the stone circles do more than pin our sense of the Long Neolithic to the moor. They pin legends to the land. Anchor generations of storytelling. Lithic libraries that endure in both physical place and the imagination. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

It's certain that standing stones are singing songs of the land, it's just a question of who to and whether they are listening. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1981

Tell me that lie of the land sleeping all winter and I'll laugh in your face. Tell you of all the trees I've talked to this morning before the frost retreated from sun. Relay conversations with cold spirits, my communion with stretching shadows. – #EmilyCBanting #1982 #WitchSky

The Belgar Navigation is rumour territory. Walk its towpath and you disturb stories of Swimming Devils, Red Eels. Shade tales of long-drowned bargees whispering from the weeds, things haunting the tunnels carved for the canal. A fluid folklore of watery peril. – #MattAdams

In Stephen McKenna’s novel ‘The Oldest God’ (1926), the mysterious Mr Stranger is judged by some to be ‘the reincarnation of the nature-spirit,’ while others tell him ‘that your hat concealed the horns, your boot the cloven hoof, of the traditional devil.’ #BookWormSat

We walk the cold ways of winter. Our magics become based on mud, phyllomantic tellings of tomorrow. In this shivering territory, hats and cloaks are practical working tools worn because the witch fears no weather, but knows when to wrap up. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981 #WitchSky

When you come across a forgotten grave in that part of the boneyard that has already been reclaimed by the wood it was once cut from, your memory for superstition sharpens. You recall unbidden how if a name is erased on a stone, the dead below wake. – #MattAdams, 1981

The folklore of Hookland has every mist, every fog, as danger. Tales of it eating certainty, as a warping infection of the land. Stories of sentient fogs, of even a mist on the common providing a cloak for the Hoarse Hag to walk abroad. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1981

The wise witch never takes more than her share. There are only so many bottles of tincture and syrup she can store. She learns to swerve greed, to leave an unexpected bounty for birds and sprites. Sometimes the best harvest is a memory of beauty. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
