So looking forward to @larkfall speaking later about all things strange on Ilkley Moor!
This event is now SOLD OUT!

New Year’s Eve continues…. the small one is determined to stay awake until midnight… I might need more caffeine than a packet lebkuchen…

@skullsnsheets Huge hug being sent through the ether.

#scaryfairies A heartbreaking thought is of mothers in times gone by, to avoid disgrace/ banishment from community for having baby out of wedlock, making use of the fairy baby/ Changeling narrative to abandon their babies to the fairies in the forest/ hill/ well.

#scaryfairies Newfoundland fairies inflict injuries known as ‘blast’. In 1988, man jabbed on way home from post office, leg swelled, turned black and when cut open, out came bunches of grass and splinters of wood. Leg had to be amputated.

#scaryfairies The Changeling is one of the most disturbing aspects of fairy lore, it says more about our society than fairies. ‘Legitimised’ infanticide, sad history of disability, a list of Changeling attributes can be seen as symptoms of a number of congenital birth disorders.

#scaryfairies Fairy origins- God was due to pay Eve a visit but she was ashamed of her many children, she told half of them to hide in dark places of the earth. They became lost to her forever, no matter how she called for them, they became the fairies. Lost children.

Apologies, worn out by all that’s going on in the world at the moment, so if anyone needs me, please follow me to Fairyland, where I am retreating for the week....
Also in preparation for The Dark Side of the Fae next weekend.....
See you there...

#FolkloreThursday Many people have been pixy-led as they travel across the remote hills and moors of Devon and Cornwall, or even at night on familiar roads. To avoid getting lost in this way, turn your coat inside-out, or carry some bread in your pocket.
