The rituals of the Bone Horse are not an exorcism of our wild nature, our buried ancestral fears, but a celebration of them. - #CLNolan, BBC National Programme talk ‘On the Dance of the Bone Horse’, 1935
The Hum told us things. You could say some of it was prophecy, but it was much more than that. A knowing of the land. Walking the electric ley changed us to. Each mile of following it a mutation in our way of thinking. - Tattoo Labyrinth Dave, ex-Pylon Person
The gothic has always been a resistance against rigidity, always been a guerrilla action against the sort of dull conformity that secretly hates romance for the wild responses it may bring about. – Phoebe Wyn, singer in Emily's Wand Vs. the Skull of Alice, 1982 #Goth
Even weeks later, the memory refuses the normal rates of decay. In that dance with the Bone Horse, in those points of exchange across the bone border, new maps have been etched on our psychic skin. New navigations opened for us to follow. - Tattoo Labyrinth Dave #WeirdWanderings
For folklore tells us this truth, the ultimate monster is man. All others are but reflections in dark pools. - #CLNolan #FolkloreThursday
To be a witch is to be synaesthetic. The seeing of the land becomes a song heard. Nature's coat of colours become whispers of promise, whispers of potential. Even the jubilance of crows at dusk becomes a shimmering haze of the shifting of magics. - Emily Banting, #WitchWednesday
The subjects of the King-Under-the-Sea are truly diverse. To call them only merfolk is a failure of catalogue, a failure to recognise that the monstrous is never uniform. - Dr. Bron, 1645
In the hills above the Marshbone Vale there is always talk of at least one barn where changeling child has been exiled to. Always rumour of that child growing through its sickly stage to hate those who keep it locked away. - #CLNolan
I am against anything which reduces the space for strangeness. Reduces the shadows available to monsters to hide in. The extinction of any mythic creature is a personal pain to me and a loss to wonderfulness of the world. - #CLNolan
