Impostors in the county‰Ûªs feral, folk faith are easy to spot. They lack pockets filled with emergency sprite offerings, fail to nod at significant spots. They‰Ûªre nonchalant in passing trees that act as landscape guardians. In short, they show a problematic lack of fear. #CLNolan https://t.co/EAINO9VM15

The forgotten kingdom of the Old King has borders that expand and contract with each telling of its legends. They rub against the domains of Death and Faery, feel the grinding teeth of the King-Under-the-Sea. They are beyond the ability of fact to chart. – #CLNolan

People ask for the names of my gods. They want reductionism. They want Mother Nature, Earth Mother and Mother of the Earth all to be the same thing. They want an easy name to call. We witches deal in nuance. We do not dishonour with false ease. – #EmilyBanting #WitchWednesday

Some draw parallels between the Golden Cart of county folklore to the abode of Germanic goddess Nerthus. To my mind, the parallels clearly exist. A more interesting question following from this might be: ‘Does it mean owt to a Hookland witch? #EmilyBanting #WitchWednesday

@davidmbarnett Not a UK thing. Not because in any way it is not wonderful, but because the quality and output of British children‰Ûªs fantasy book at a comparable time was equally wonderful.

You’ve about 20 minutes to make a proper bit of splosh, get and biscuit and stop work for tonight’s #HookWatch at 5:30pm. There will be witchery, just not the Emily Banting kind. https://t.co/Awr6HPqV8N

@schoolofnight @davidmbarnett It was around, but not the thing it was in America where quite rightly, it was proper psychic infrastructure. Mind you we had Penelope Lively, Carbonel, Wombles et al.
