@MurphGothic One of the three film Hookland treatments is this, but not framed around Imbolc. Because festivals that persist are festivals that sustain.

@MurphGothic One of my big issues with badly done folk horror – I put Midsomer in that class – is a failure to show what the ritual/festival/lore adds to a community that will sustain its continuance. Beer and bonfires are engine of English culture, but even here, it‰Ûªs more than a piss-up.

Those trees believed to bring healing, to grant wishes – they are decorated by prayers in ribbon rags and trinkets. Curse trees are bare of such trimmings. Curse trees wear inscribed nails in their trunks, the ashes of burnt letters demanding justice feed their roots. https://t.co/HzWmRHIplk

@Fireflyght @NeolithicSheep Nowt to apologise for. Contrary to rumour, the Net does not contain all of our knowledge. It is a dialect swear-word, non-gendered and non-genitalia based, that denotes egregious bad character and bad behaviour in an individual.
