The canal tunnels of the county are a black-watered underworld. An English Duat where barges are propelled through realm of the dead by legging – feet against the wall trying to move the boat faster than swim of Stay Belows, outpacing the ghosts of the drowned. #Wyrd Wednesday https://t.co/2c9tYxwKrW

The witch is friend to the small gods of neglected places. She knows the limits of their domains ‰ÛÒ this corner of wood, this edge of field ‰ÛÒ and still she sings to them. Her songs are part of the long memory of the land. We catch their echo. = Emily Banting, 1981 #WitchWednesday

The wise know a map is powerful magic. Whether schoolroom propaganda or route to treasure. The old magicians of Hookland made maps of the cunning currents, but burned them before they died. Some things have to be self-charted to have power. – Tattoo Labyrinth Dave #WyrdWanderings

Astralnauts, Aethernauts, Oneiricnauts – even Enfoldnauts and Internauts – we‰Ûªve got them all Nokes. What I want to know is why they can‰Ûªt keep to their other planes of existence and have to dick about on my patch. – #DICallaghan

@viclarious As Emily Banting herself would say: “Witchcraft does not belong to anyone except those who are lost in the moments of its dance.” Sounds to me as if singing to the cherry trees is all you need.
