Went for a walk in Historic Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh, NC yesterday for Dia de Los Muertos. I thought I’d turn on this spirit box app I just got that the @legends.bsky.social fellas have mentioned. Looks like the residents were quite talkative.

There’s a big autumnal cold front coming in tomorrow afternoon and evening with a bit of rain, so I’m doing my traditional Samhain bonfire tonight instead.

My lovely lady bought a bushel of Rome apples 🍎 when we were in the Virginia APPLE-achians (I’m not apologizing). She made a small batch of apple cider last night, and started a big pot of it this morning. The house is going to smell amazing all day!

I’m really looking forward to this book. I’m sure I’ll do a mini review of it on the show once it comes out. Get yourself a copy!

If everyone who follows us invited one person to follow us, and they did, we would have twice as many followers.

That’s the theory. Try and prove it…

I really enjoyed the @folklorepod.bsky.social Lecture yesterday on Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Cosplay/costuming discussion in the chat was wonderful. I really do need to get my Mark Norman cosplay together should Folk-a-palooza happen again.

Tonight at 8pm, online, Dr Peter Hewitt, founder of the Folklore Museums Network, discusses Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Just how do we collect, preserve and protect all those things that aren’t physical objects in folklore?

A beautiful morning. It was unusually still: no fish, no boats, no wind.
