I am wary of the secret society of palaeographers who work the tomes of the Black Library of Weychester Cathedral. To be truthful, I am actually scared of them. One day they may decipher a text that unravels the world or wakens every gargoyle and grotesque in the land. – #CLNolan

@WhatMollySaid You will rarely find me disagreeing with @tedraimi and you know my admiration for Lee and Cushing – biased by that childhood encounter with Cushing, but I stick to it – and also for all the other great actors you find in them such as Charles Gray and Michael Ripper.

@wayofthethird Four Emily Banting articles from 1980-1981 have been republished in @RitualsZine. There are no plans as far as I know to republish the two articles from which those snippets are taken.

There are elements of cottage lore traceable to the Anglo-Saxon Leechbooks with their wonderful mixture of the pagan sense of the otherworlds and Christian superstitions. Elements such as the Nine Herb Charm, the Thrice-Stepped Grave, the Black Lac or Dance. – Vera Winterfield

Some see an occulted line of transmission from ancient Stone Age mysteries to modern Forteana. Yet in their theories of stuttering continuity, they rarely address the primal need of humanity to tell stories, to create narrative to make sense where none exists. – Dr. Michael Benn
