Good spirits are delighted and allured by sweet perfumes, as rich gums, frankincense etc. Evil spirits are pleased and allured and called up by suffumigations of henbane, stinking smells etc which the witches do use in their conjuration. #magick #folklore Art: Frederick Sandys

Harvest Home When the harvesters bring home the last load of corn, it is done with great joy and merriment. A fiddler rides on the loaded cart, playing. A barrel of good beer is provided for all, and some Good Rustic Cheer.

This is the longest table on earth crafted from a single English oak tree! It's my passion project to honour an ancient oak tree which fell in a storm. Let's bring people together to connect with nature and each other. Please share if this resonates. 🙏 crowdfunder.co.uk/p/great-oak-ta…

I went to bed in tears last night, overwhelmed by the generosity and kind words from supporters of the Great Oak Table. A long table in the woods for all who believe that a kinder world is possible. Image: the #PigwiggenWood punchbowl! youtu.be/ZAGvD2R77YE Crowdfunder UK

There are precious few acts of true community these days, where humans come together to support & rejoice, & even fewer ancient woodlands left where the Old Magic dwells undiluted. Can YOU help to grow this unique project? Please share, even if you can't support financially. 💖

Dracs live in the depths of rivers. By taking on the appearance of gold rings or cups floating on the water, they attract women and children bathing by the riversides. When such people attempt to grab the objects, they are dragged down into the watery depths.

#BoroughHill "They say this was a Danish camp. The road hereabouts is overgrown with Daneweed. They fancy it sprang from the blood of Danes slain in battle, and that if, upon a certain day in the year, you cut it, it BLEEDS." - Daniel Defoe #folklore Photo: AeroEngland.

There are ever-increasing numbers of sylvans, faeries, men-in-the-oaks, and sprites in #PigwiggenWood. As yet, no Jemmy-burties or Dick-a-Tuesdays! 😳
