Sometimes when worlds collide beautiful things happen, like tortoiseshell cats or deep-fried Mars bars. Other times it’s just me, tip tapping on my computer and thinking, I might just be able to get away with this… Welcome to Household Agony, a mash up of Household Lore and Folklore Agony! 

If you happen to be free at 7.30pm on Monday 2 June and enjoyed either The Everyday Lore Project or the resulting book, Everyday Folklore: An almanac for the ritual year, you might fancy joining me for an online talk at Wiltshire Museum where I’ll be discussing the practicalities and pitfalls of the Ritual Year. Tickets are only £8 (less if you’re a member) and if I time it right, they’ll be a Q&A at the end!
