All for under 20 quid. These books I picked up on holiday from charity shops, second hand shops and a car boot sale #bookholic #mythology #folklore #charityshopfinds

I visited Kelso Abbey, built in the 12th Century and recently reopened to the public, on our holiday last week. It’s free to visit if you are in the Scottish Borders #kelsoabbey #ruinedabbey #scottishborders

In September before Spooktober hits I want to put my BFI Player subscription to good use. I’m excited to start with Rose of Nevada, after I really enjoyed Bait and Enys Men @marghjenkin.bsky.social #bfiplayer #septemberschedule #britishcinema

I picked up these lovely figurines at Pagan Magik today and the only thing more lovely was the owners of the shop who made them and made me feel so welcome #pagans #folkhorror #folklore

In anticipation of Nolan’s Odyssey I’ve been reading Wilson’s version of The Iliad and watching the film adaptation of Troy, as well as listening to a few podcasts about The Odyssey. Is anyone else being drawn back to Ancient Greece? #mythology #theodyssey #ancientgreece

I found folklore as a perfect way to give me relief and detachment from the modern world and some much needed perspective. What I realised was that folklore would also reconnect me with a more progressive and inclusive sense of belonging and identity. #folklore #albion #booksky
