Today is Michaelmas Day which marks the day in the calendar after which you shouldn’t pick or eat blackberries. Depending on your regional bent, folklore tells that on this day the devil fell out of heaven and landed in a blackberry bush, cursing them in fury…

…In Yorkshire it marks the day the devil has spat on them while in Cornwall the dirty *ahem * devil has pee’d all over them. So unless you’re into that sort of thing - which is cool, you do you - then probs best to avoid.

The Red Ghost was an aggressive camel, allegedly a spirit, in the American West in the 1880s, said to have a ghostly rider on its back. When hunters found it, they shot the rider: a skull fell off, revealing a rider who died in the saddle. The Ghost was later killed #SpookySunday

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

The 'Devil's Coach-horse' beetle, in Ireland this beetle was a symbol of corruption. It was thought to have the power to kill on sight, and eat sinners. When the beetle raised its tail, it was thought to be casting a curse. I've got some of these living in my house at the moment #FolkloreThursday

Madley is one of those villages where you have to generously apply the car’s horn to scatter clouds of chickens and children from the road. There’s always a bollock-naked drunk in the gutter, always an effigy on the green. Even by Hookland standards, it has a loose grip on reality. - #DICallaghan

An illustration from the children's book series Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem. It features a mouse-like character holding a pair of green, wing-like garments on hangers. The character is standing in a room with a wooden door and two framed pictures, and a large, bat-like shadow is cast on the wall behind it.

#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.

Plant-rich diets are the food system's electrification. Petrol cars only see 18-25% of their fuel energy get to the wheels; EVs 87-91%. Heat pumps are 2 or 3 times more efficient. Food has its own combustion engine: a chicken turns about 13% of its feed calories into food, worse than a petrol car.
