The danger for historians, for archaeologists, for academics, is that we loose our sense of enchantment. For enchantment is often how the past talks to and through us. – Dr. Michael Benn, 1976 https://t.co/BXyODiMWUx

@guy_whatmore @Rebecca52731232 Doctors can‰Ûªt spell is as common a trope as pedants feeling the need to point out the mistakes of others to feel a bit cleverer. When you pay for words, expect editing and the entitlement to be huffy, otherwise best to inform the dyslexic trier in private eh?

Belief in magic is culturally significant at whatever period of history we examine it in. Belief in magic or the lack of it tells us about identity, about norms, marginalisation and power, because magic always about these things. ‰ÛÒ Dr. Michael Benn, 1976

The Abbey at the Edge of Day, painting by Hookland artist Katherine Giddings, 1946. Asked what the picture meant, she crossly replied: “Hope returning to a bruised land. Next time I’ll just paint words for you.” She held her word. Her next works were all colour poems. https://t.co/Q9pOCwM9EU
