The book has just been announced on the publisher's website which means I'll have to start writing something about it for the blog. I'll save posting art samples until then but for now here's the big R'lyeh panorama.
A panorama of R'lyeh, the sunken alien city from The Call of Cthulhu by HP Lovecraft. Here we see some of the place after an earthquake has raised it from the ocean floor, with unfortunate results for the sailors who discover it. Lots of weird weed-strewn architecture/statuary in a swampy, sunlit haze. Spot the sailors!

Weekend links 850
Peacock Mandala (no date) by Judith Drury. • A few links related to my own activities this week. Firstly, the mix of the week is a guest mix I put together for The Invisible College. I haven't made a properly mixed mix for a while. This one was made with Audacity, an application that's free, open source and multi-platform. Secondly, there's the news that…

#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.

I’ve not really done selfies before. I think the last photograph of me I shared was taken ten years ago. I had short hair then. Now the long hair is back and the grey is icumen in. But hey, this is me.

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.
