Many believe that a boat‰Ûªs anchor houses the soul of the ship and acts as a repository for the ghost of anyone who lost their life on the craft. Those rusting anchors you see on the coast are often grave-markers for the drowned dead, not tourist set-dressing. #FolkloreThursday https://t.co/qNMdvUy1p8

@kayorchison We are at the point culturally where all time travel – which is what reading old books is at one level – is going to provide a meeting with the worst aspects of the psychic DNA of the most creative people of their age. See it, call it, refuse the infection, evolve beyond it.

@kayorchison At least with Ballard you know he knew there was bullshit to evolve beyond, which isn’t a comfort when reading Lovecraft.

@PaoloSammut I think a lot of occultists use the cloak of ‘being magical’ to try and disguise profound narcissistic issues. urges for medal and title collection quite contrary to just getting on with the business of learning; development; service; sheer awe and joy.

For #WorldBookDay from so many of us in the #FolkloreThursday camp, a book that helped make us what we are. Books are gateways to new worlds, new ways of seeing and new ways of being. https://t.co/D44pUJ9vn6

What are the favourite places of the Stay Below? The meeting place where brook tumbles into a dark pool. The tree-shadowed reach of a river at its laziest. Freshwater mire, the woodland pond. Places that beguile with gentle calm. Places that trap. – #CLNolan https://t.co/xQ6rh8CudC
