We come now to the very brink, where hope and despair are akin. To waver is to fall.

Much of my life and certainly Hookland has been based on the David Bowie lyric: ‘Turn and face the strange’. I am a Fully-grown Changeling. There is no other way.

In The Nutcracker ballet, the Mouse King is a formidable creature often depicted with seven heads, mimicking the rare phenomenon of a Rat King, which occurs when multiple rat tails become inextricably entangled.

Research which socially isolated #bumblebees during a key developmental phase found that when reintroduced to the ‘crowd’ the isolated #bees showed an increase in friendly behaviour.

The stones have been tomb, cattle shelter, childhood dare and ley-hunter nexus. They have been and continue to be anchor for folklore and mystery. To reduce our telling of them to one thing reduces them and the power of the Long Neolithic. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Whether we call it Faery or Elfland, it is a territory bordering our own. Some elements of it are shared - certain trees extend roots into the soil of both realms - but we know it most when it walks into our world. It comes as a haunting strangeness, as a terrible yet familiar oddness. - #CLNolan
