For Michaelmas Day, one from my recent travels. Medieval wall painting from St James, South Leigh (Oxfordshire) featuring St Michael weighing souls and the Virgin Mary dropping rosary beads onto the scales to weigh it in her (and the soul's) favour.

But what is clear is that our collective pride in three British institutions has collapsed since 2011: parliament, the monarchy, and the BBC.
Debates over the quality of BBC output aside, it also reveals a deeper fragmentation..

I had to share this poem. Scots Gaelic 19C, a fairy sings a lullaby to a child she has stolen.

‘Both an overarching historical and cultural survey and a handy reference source’. Thank you to @Miller_flash for a generous review of ‘Paganism Persisting’ in the latest @FolkloreSociety journal 📚

Joseph Jacob's illustration of Hedley Kow (a Co. Durham horse spirit with a sideline in shapechanging) catches more than almost any other the joyful abandon of the trickster spirit in British folklore and fairylore. If anyone can do better I'd love to see it! @Miller_flash

I'm very grateful to @Miller_flash for this perceptive review of 'Twilight of the Godlings' 🧚♀️📚
Always good to review something that is actually worth the effort. My book review (written over a year ago) of @DrFrancisYoung 's ‘Twilight of the Godlings’ appears in the 2024 autumn issue (137) of the Journal of American Folklore.

Devon chockablock with the 'Green Man', so many examples in wood and stone, and @Miller_flash of this parish, author of The Green Man in Medieval England, has kindly written of this misunderstood symbol for DevonChurchLand. Have a read do, just here: bit.ly/3P0zpCs

If I can’t get you to buy my angels book, given your addiction to angels, I really am in deep trouble! I can offer you a 25% discount on the ‘Green Man’ book PROMO25. You need to read this if you’re writing about it. Nice review in Church Times @ChurchTimes
