Found a huge archive of the strange, astrological and political artwork of Pauline Smith in a house clearance junk shop in Brighton. An interesting character for sure and worth a look at her Wikipedia page if you haven't heard of her.

"And there the monster rages and proclaims / That he was god before all other gods were born."

The Storm by Hildegarde Flanner, 1927.

Salisbury Museum. Amazing the things you can find in local museums!

I have never met a rock more obviously a person. This is the Lake House Meteorite. It is 4.5 billion years old, weighs 95Kg and has probably been on Earth for 30,000 years.

To say it has presence is understating it.

Last day of the small but beautifully formed Elizabeth Frink exhibition at Salisbury Museum today.

I had to miss the druids autumn equinox celebration on Primrose Hill today but my lovely friends sent me some gorgeous photos.

Currently very much enjoying the prophecies of Robert Nixon, aka The Cheshire Prophet, whose verses are so fabulously alive!

I was recently gifted a copy of my own book that ws found secondhand and covered in annotations! I haven't done much to promote my book recently but if you fancy taking a spirit-haunted walk on the South Downs Way with me, there are some links below...

A beautiful beginning to the day.

Sultry would be a good word for the top end of Langstone Harbour these last couple of days. Thick haze, opressive heat, ancient landscape.

The most mercurial of birds.

Swimming under a full red moon has been a really moving and powerful thing these last few days.

Dreams of Witches edited by Christina Oakley-Harrington is such a great concept. An anthology of writings, mainly Victorian, on witchcraft, magic, paganism and so on which would have likely been known by Gerald Gardner and the original New Forest Coven that created Wicca.

These dead ivy tangles at Kensal Green Cemetery look like something from a 'spirit painting'

The next stage on my pilgrimage around the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London, this time moving widdershins around from Highgate I find myself in Kensall Green. A completely different vibe. A suspended, silent place. Everything here is lingering.

Miserere Nobis

I made a folding bone throwing divination mat. Not complete yet but getting the hang of it as I go along.
