During some rare research I've just found out that a 'bugger' (a word I use on a regular basis) is in fact a goblinesque faerie that dwells in the astral world & is very dangerous to humans.
I'd been under the impression that it was just like a bloody nuisance.

16th century dining, included baking live birds in a pie as a form of entremet; hoping they would fly out singing. The famous points towards the close of monasteries by Henry VIII & ends with the maid's nose being stolen... like a demon stealing her soul?

🌿Trees and forests are deeply rooted in our psyche, and spread their branches over myth, legend, folklore & fairytale. The forests that will always have a place in my heart are Mirkwood, Sherwood, and the timeless glades of Ryhope.

"Ring Around the Rosie" a rhyme amid great speculation. Originally children danced in a circle & curtsied to a center rose tree/child. It was later associated with the Great Plague, ie: Rosie rashes & posies to ward off the smell of disease...& we all fall down!

Paula Rego's illustrations really capture the creepy, ominous tones that children's nursery rhymes invoke for me. Growing up with these images really shaped me as an artist - Baa Baa black sheep, Little miss muffet and Hey Diddle Diddle

Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop! goes the Weasel.

Such a fun children’s rhyme, but it’s origins
are in poverty.
In 18th century Cockney slang,
‘weasel and stoat’ meant coat
and ‘pop’ was to pawn.

For the itch, the stitch, rheumatic, and the gout,
If the devil isn't in you, this well will take it out."
