Edinburgh based zine of folklore and Forteana.
Sometimes weird, always antifascist.

Got wasted on election night, decided to keep it going the next day, drunkenly walked in to the local conservative club to yell "hah you fucking losers" only to find, to my horror it had been hired out for a wake that afternoon

Visited the Museum Of Witchcraft And Fortune-telling in Edinburgh, lots of interesting stuff, including a lot of folk magic artifacts, plus got to meet this auld gent. Well worth a visit.

An interesting piece of folk culture, who could have foreseen how the word would change meaning in 50 years?

I've handled these trousers, they're basically the ufological shroud of Turin! Someone should offer them a home.
Ps fuck The Sun.

Have read Graeme's new book, it's full of fascinating accounts of weird experiences. This should be a good night. (Note new venue).

The government is missing a trick to induce absolute panic in the over 40s by not having this as the alert tone on their emergency warnings.

While having emergency notifications on your phone is probably a good thing, I could have done without being woken at 3am by my phone making an apocalyptic screeching, followed by a stern voice telling me to prepare for 100mph winds. Cheers Scottish government.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Just been to a hardcore gig where me and my friends were about twice the age of everyone else. Had a guy asking what gigs were like in the 90s. Now feel ancient.

This was a favourite of mine as a kid. Probably consigned to a charity shop by my mum at some point in the 90s.

The Park Authority have been notified about a suspected illegal release of two lynx in the Cairngorms National Park. Police Scotland have been informed and are working closely with partners to establish the full picture and take appropriate action.

Tonight! I'll be talking briefly about my selection, is it black metal, a total racket or a bio-technological way of translating communications from non human intelligences?

Fortean Songs
We had Fortean book recommendations during lockdown. Later on we had Fortean films. It seems sensible to move on to Fortean songs next and that's what we're doing!
