“For the trouble with the real folk of Faerie is that they do not always look like what they are; and they put on the pride and beauty that we would fain wear ourselves.”

My submission for Green Women A Companion has been sent in.
My topic is fairies & the colour green. It was a fascinating thing to research.

"The first Scottish appearance of the term 'fairfolks' occurs in Douglas's translation of the Aenid in 1513. The woods were for long occupied by 'nymphis & fawnys apun euery syde, Quhilk fairfolkis, or than elvys, clepyng we (which we called fair folk & elves)'"

"..there may be ghosts or there may not; but if there are none there are fairies, and they are worse."

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

I'm starting to wonder if people who are quick to volunteer for eternal servitude to the good folk have watched too much Downton Abbey and not enough Hell Raiser

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

ℹ️ Information from An Post relevant to Irish artists selling to the US - still no clarity elsewhere about what the charges will be, time will tell.

What is the new process for sending eCommerce goods and gifts over $100 dollars to the USA and its territories?
The recipient customer in the USA must pay the taxes before the item can be delivered.

An Post now asks that for these items, the recipient email is provided as a mandatory field.

An Post International Logistics Partner will contact the USA recipient and request payment of taxes, along with an administration fee.

A time frame of 5 calendar days applies for the customer to pay.

Once paid, the eCommerce parcel will be delivered to the USA.

If not paid, the item will be returned to the sending customer.

No credit will be due to the sending customer in this instance.
