Researching the story of #TheCampdenWonder for my book on the history of witchcraft in Gloucestershire and becoming more befuddled & fascinated by the moment. I've found out so much more than when we recorded the story for @inkubussukkubus.bsky.social's 'Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder' 10 years ago! 🤯

Just £20 for this very limited-edition coloured eco-vinyl album, PLUS the chance to win one of only five test pressings? Bargain! PS You'll also get a unique download code for all 13 tracks featured on the CD. PPS The band will sign each and every one, too, of course. 😁x inkubussukkubus.bandcamp.com

Just 3 days till our launch party at The Folk of Gloucester. We'll be chatting about the band's 37-yr history, inspiration behind songs, then playing a full rock set - to include a couple from the new album - and prob partaking of a Severn Cider or two.🍻 inkubussukkubus.bandcamp.com/merch/eterna...

I've been spending more time trying to get to know the Witch of Berkeley for the book I'm writing... she's elusive, and very intriguing. I think I'd have enjoyed partying with her. 😀 #Berkeley #Gloucestershire #witch #legend #folklore

To live on the coast is to know the sea as constant possibility of death. This leads – especially among those who earn their living from it – not only to superstition, but to acts of folk magic. Windowsills become altars for safe return, winds that bless and to gods that gift good catches.
