3:49 AM, the cottage bedroom: I love this bed. I love the fluffy pillows and the silky sheets. I love the cozy blanket and the half-open window and the owls calling outside. And I especially love that my very dearest kisses me good night and good morning and promises that this is our forever.

11:34 PM, the cottage lounge: Well-earned glass of wine, following an afternoon of intense garden consultation! A very warm afternoon, so I slipped off my battered gardening shirt and left it on the terrace, working in my vest and bare arms. Some absolute demon left a carnation atop it. ✨️🐍✨️

4:29 PM, the cottage pond: Spent the afternoon helping Crowley decide on winter duck quarters... ... in that I stood beside him at the pond and topped up his drink as he planned. This might require a foray into the Big Town for carpentry things! I might *dramatic pause* purchase a hammer! ✨️🔨✨️

Goodnight from the women of Weychester, marching the night with torches and placards reading: WEREWOLVES LIVE AMONG US. Goodnight from the Lightfoot Travelling Curiosity Show, its punters journeying home sure they’ve seen spirits trapped in bell jars. Goodnight from Hookland.

War is target fixation. War is concrete cicatrix. War is an unbanishable ghost. Hookland knows this. It pillboxes remain manifestations of invasion fears. The abandoned sound mirrors of its salt marshes still listen out for phantom planes. There is no psychic peace. – #DAKilory

4:34 AM, the cottage bedroom: Had a wonderful time today, catching up with friends, visiting the Bookshop, doing a bit of shopping. And dinner was utterly sublime. (I shall dream about that Bramley apple soufflé!) But the best part was coming home to tumble into our own bed!

When I see wide way through a wood, walled with stone, I think only of futility and the coming of those feral days when the trees shall take back what was stolen from them. A tide of tangle and thorn is the future of this path. I feel it echoing back as I walk the now. #DAKilroy

Witchcraft is not consolatory hokum. It doesn't offer tepid answers to hard questions and even harsher circumstances. It offers us relationships with the land, its spirits and ourselves. Relationships may be rough and require work, but they get us through. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

#ReEnchantment is resistance.
I believe humanity always lives in its folklore. I believe humanity is stories. Those stories walk and those stories need places to live. Those tales are how we relate to landscape. Those tales are how we connect to each other, how we build community and how we resist. That is why Hookland exists. For in the hopeless moment when all the territory is darkening bruise, that’s when we need stories and re-enchantment the most.

Long story short: I’m an asylum seeker in France now. I don’t know how long this process will take, but for I still can’t officially work here. So I’m looking for any opportunity to earn money to be able to pay for rent and food. Please, read and share this post ❤️‍🩹 ko-fi.com/illustory
WE NEED HELP
Please, read and share this!
(text version of the pics above)
We are a group of queer artists, and we are in big trouble.
In April 2025, we immigrated to France, seeking a safe place to live and make art.
Our humanitarian visas expired a year ago.
Since then, we have been trying to get legal status in France.
To be able to work, open a bank account, get health insurance and just have some basic human rights.
We spent a whole year fighting for our lives against Strasbourg Prefecture and we lost.All this time we couldn't properly work, so we were burning our savings.
In August, all three of us were denied a residence permit.
According to the Prefecture, the only option for us To stay legally in France is to become asylum seekers.
About a week ago, we sent out our applications for the asylum.
Now we are looking at another indefinite stretch of time, before we are summoned to Paris for interviews.
It might be two months, three months, half of a year or even more... no one knows for sure.We had planned for a year without documents max, and now it's been a year and a half already.
No matter how hard we tried to stretch our savings, they have run out.
Currently, we don't have enough money to pay for rent and food in November.
It's hard for me to admit that, but we are in huge trouble, with all our hopes and plans ruined by the French bureaucracy.
We really need your help and every little bit matters, so I came up with some options for how you can support us.HOW YOU CAN HELP

This is two-thirds of the way through every single food shop when we're both hungry and stroppy and cannot agree on a marmalade option because our usual is unavailable. In fact, Crowley has called that particular terse expression my "Waitrose Face."
