#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.

In re-enchantment we stop dreaming of inevitable apocalypse and find the permissive space to tell stories of hope.

In today's writing of the talk ... because Hookland always has been #ReEnchantmentIsResistance:
The stories we intentionally absorb, the stories we select to tell ourselves, they allow us to live in the world differently. They allow us to make and remake the world differently.

Folklore is often the wild frontier of belief, the place where wonder may still live. We need this space. We ache for the sublime. Ache for it even when as Edward Burke said in 1765, its source is terror. Our need for it is there in Romanticism. There in the 18th century gothic novel and all that unfolded from it centuries later – whether in the stories of Machen, Du Maurier and Shirley Jackson or in Pete Murphy intoning: Bela Lugosi is dead. Beyond such dark splendours, we ache for wonder. For its territory of possibility, place we can become re-enchanted. That is why it has always been the core of Hookland.

For re-enchantment is an assertion of wonder and the numinosity of our relationships with landscape. Re-enchantment is an assertion of our collective ability to both imagine and experience better worlds. As a refusal of despair, as a lensing of hope.

And that is brings us to the ineluctable logic of cure, of eugenics, of removal. What if instead, there could be disabled happiness, trans happiness, and the sufferings could be ameliorated. Not cured. Relieved. Their weights taken up amongst us all, so they diffuse into seeming nothing?

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.
The coverplate of the book HOOKLAND FRAGMENTS VOLUME ONE by David Southwell featuring a picture of the Ghost Bear of Hookland by Maria Strutz and the following blurb:

I firmly believe David Southwell’s Hookland to be one of the great 
imaginative achievements of our age. One that will one day be 
spoken of the way Lovecraft’s Mythos is now. Hookland is the 
folklore of the county that exists on the edge of our vision, an 
unseen but sensed Britain that is at once familiar and strange. 
It is the land just to the left of where we live. David’s work is 
made even more remarkable by his open invitation for all to 
come and play there. Though of course visitors to Hookland 
must be wary, the county exacts its price from us all. – R.J. 
Barker, award-winning author of bestsellers such as The Bone 
Ships and Gods of Wyrdwood.

As a visitor I am more frequently in Hookland than the barrows 
and chalk downs of my childhood. – Roger Clarke, best-selling 
author of A Natural History of Ghosts.

Hookland is gold standard eldritch world building. – Ian 
Simmons, Fortean Times news editor.

This a shimmering place of deep time, cold wars, old gods and 
ever renewing mysteries.The heartland and home county of the 
restless and the outsider, a lamp glow to welcome the lost, a 
pole star for those who dare to step into the dark and follow its 
glorious glowing ghostlight. – Rose Ruane. Artist and writer of 
Birding and This Is Yesterday.

Hookland has been called many things. Psychic shrapnel 
embedded in place. A re-wilding of folklore. The English Eerie 
told in strange fragments. According to its creator David 
Southwell, nothing in Hookland is made up, just remembered 
differently.

Hookland Fragments Volume One offers both an introduction to 
Hookland and an exploration of its agenda of re-enchantment 
as resistance.

Two lamps can be seen on each side of the river, while 5 silhouettes, wearing weapons, can be seen from the left side of the painting, looking at the town. The sky shows a tempest formation next to a diffuse sun. A cascade of water can be seen on the top right corner.

Charlie update: she had a long day at the vet, but all went well. A blood test showed her to be a healthy girl. She's been microchipped and neutered, bless her. She handled it really well and straight away after was lively and hungry, with good mobility.

This is my beautiful friend, Charlie. She’s being looked after in Canada until she’s used to travelling and can come home to me next year. I miss her so much. She’s having surgery to be neutered on Tuesday. I know it’s a routine procedure, but all positive thoughts for her would be much appreciated.

See, a proper book, (little book, but a proper one) with an ISBN number and everything. Cover reveal and ordering details coming soon-ish. And yes, there is an-anti piracy, anti LLM curse embedded in the text. It is Hookland – you'd expect nothing less.
Proof of the title page of the book 'Hookland Fragments, Volume 1: Remembering Differently' by David Southwell. Also includes text warning of a curse to book pirates.
