Mirror of Elicona




I feel very honored to be one of the dedicate-ees of this beautiful work by Phil Legard - The Mirror of Elicona. Published by Hadean Press, it is a magical work relating to poetry, psychogeography, magic and romance.

Accompanying audio will be published on the Larkfall website soon!

Songs for the Dead

I'm very pleased to be working on a project (which is currently mostly a secret) with an old friend who is also billed as Aghartha for the Bang the Bore event mentioned in an earlier post. More on this soon!





 Tonight I went and sat by Meanwood Beck and listened for the low voices you sometimes hear in the rushing water, the moon was bright orange, low in the sky and dissolving from the top.




The melting snow had given the water a more oppressive sound though, Meanwood beck was in too much of a hurry to talk today.

I'll be performing my first Morris dance out at the Field of Wakes on the last weekend of February for the Rhubarb Festival, one of the dances will be a NW Morris version (with stomping and whooping!) of Mona's Delight, a lovely dance collected from the Isle of Man:



I'll be the one messing up the last figure.

Standing Stones Rigg - Dalby Forest


Snow defines things so perfectly that it seems to stop time. 
My partner's daughter once said that "snow was quiet like a skull"
