Today's answer to the question what is Hookland?

What is Hookland?

Hookland is England as seen from the ghost train.

It is a fierce refusal to let psychogeographers tell you that when you talk about spirits of place you can’t really believe in them. It is all the books you borrowed time and time again from the library as a child – encyclopaedias of horror films, Usborne’s Worlds of the Unknown UFOs and Charles Berlitz’s The Bermuda Triangle.

It is walking home through the woods in November mist and feeling that the place has monsters, not the sort they made into Aurora model kits, but old, nameless things that are fed by the fear you’ve had of this place since that murder a few years back. It is the terror of living in a haunted landscape. It is the delight of living in a profoundly haunted landscape. Hookland is the place that you can almost allow yourself to believe in magic again before realising it is a territory you already inhabit. Shared space where all the broken memories of childhood are resuscitated and walking alongside you.

It is knowing the names of Soviet spacemen orbiting above and feeling the youthful power if recognising which mushrooms are poisonous. It is sneaking into fields to release crows from cruel traps and thinking up mad schemes to raise money to buy fireworks when the air becomes rich with the intoxicating smell of bonfires. It’s being more scared by gaudy movie posters for films that you haven’t ever seen than being afraid of the things your parents constantly warn you about.

It is knowing that everywhere is layers of story, layers of memory and realising you may be the ghost of someone else’s future.

It is a French radio station on AM, full of songs you hear and instantly love, but will spend the rest of your life trying to remember what the title was, which band it was.

On its jagged rocks, its snaring brambles, fragments of ripped cloth that you know are clues to something you have forgotten. Something important you cannot unlock.

It is home.

When I feel sick and nauseous after being bombed by several AI images, I go outside and look for something alive and happy. This is my ficus Lyrata. 🥬

Nature is everywhere, even in the busiest cities. From April 24–27, over 100k people around the world will step outside & photograph the wild nature around them for the #CityNatureChallenge — the largest annual community science event. 🧵⤵️

Day 21 of #HooklandChristmasTree. Midwinter. Only one ornament is apposite - the porcelain Bone Horse Grigest - the grey mare of winter. Clip-clop, clip-clop, where will the Bone Horse stop? Roast your ale, make sure your torch is alight, the Grisgest roams tonight. #WinterSolstice

Hookland holds the dialect word of holscad – a shadow cast by something that is patently not there, a shadow of something which was once there, but now no longer exists. #Hookland #WOTD

I’m not dead. I sleep sometimes. Sleep comes very close to death, everyone knows that. The dead walk in dreams, everyone knows that. They come to you alive, and they say things. They walk out of death into the dreams.

There is an old prayer much favoured in Hookland which I offer up today for my friends in America: Protect us from the tyranny of troubled spirits and make them as smoke upon the wind. #NoKings

Today is Wim Wenders birthday. Instead of watching a film to celebrate, decided to hear one of my favorite soundtracks on earth. It's amazing how some combination of sound in certain order can run inside your blood.

It should be noted before blowing, that dandelions are synchronised to Faery Spring Time, not Greenwich Mean Time. For it is the Faery Clock, not ours. – #CLNolan #Folklore

'I had the dream again of the ghost bear hurling bones into the air. When they fell upon the forest floor, they formed strange signs that I could not interpret. It was as if I was on the ether again' - #CLNolan in letter to #ArthurMachen, 1906 @hookland.bsky.social 🖤🐾🌿

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a famous folktale called 'Bunbuku Chagama' which is about a tanuki who shapeshifts into a tea kettle. It then periodically sprouts legs, a tail and a head and proceeds to dance around before returning to its regular kettle form. #MythologyMonday #yokai 1/2

A kettle that has grown a face, legs and tail leaps off the heat, steam rises and water spills.

It is New Year's Eve. Ghosts crowd the pub's fire, tell stories to stitch centuries together. The year takes its last, rasping breaths. Every flame in the room trembles. The space between tick and tock on the mantel clock seems to lengthen. Hope struggles to be born again. – #CLNolan #NewYearsEve

Day 24 of #HooklandChristmasTree decoration. We place miniature ceramic bee hive on the tree. Time to tell the sleeping bees all our news, tell them of the year. All its joyful arrivals, all its harrowings and sad exits. We sing them the land and ask for honeyed blessings.

It's time to stop yourself being treated like a Pokémon to be collected on social media. There's no good that comes of this behaviour. Don't encourage the erasure of yourself as nothing more than a number in someone else's analytics.
