A black and white drawing of a person with long hair. On their head is what looks like a castle with a veil hanging behind. They have no pupils or iris in their eyes

Lovely visit to the East Anglian Folklore Centre @shuckhappens.bsky.social yesterday! Enjoyed the corn dolly exhibition, faerie furniture, & beautiful art & crafts. As well as so many books! I could read away days here! It's so special to have a home for local lore to be shared & protected.

Some images connected to our next event! Book tickets via the what’s on page on our website!

Eng : Black and white night shot of rocks in the ocean. The nearest rock is illuminated with a flashlight, revealing its texture, and the texture of the water in long exposure. Many stars are visible in the sky, despite the presence of the Moon. Fr : Photo de nuit en noir et blanc de rochers dans l'océan. Le rocher le plus proche est éclairée à la lampe torche, révélant sa texture, et la texture de l'eau en pose longue. Dans le ciel de nombreuses étoiles sont visibles, malgré la présence de la Lune.

- 10° celcius, + 100kh of wind, on the edge of a cliff to take this shot... One of the many moments when I seriously questioned whether this image was worth the risk and pain.

The land stirs from winter torpor in snowbell peal, in Stay Below rising. Jackdaws quest for twigs, toads wake. The witch hears whispers of green promise, the song of pussy willow swelling to silver. Feral magics swim her blood. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
