TL:DR Lots of Christmas folklore and another plug for my book (we’re all very busy).
Keeping it short and sweet as I’m sure you’re all wrapped up in other things given we’re now three sleeps until the Big Day. Unless, of course, you do Christmas on Christmas Eve, and then it’s two sleeps. Irrespective, stuff needs doing. So here is my top ten household folklore tips for the season…
I have the perfect Christmas present for you! For the third year on the trot, I have a lot in the Mari Lwyd Charity Auction in aid of Refuge run by the amazing Skulls and Sheets!
Should you find yourself loitering without intent in Chichester around 6pm on Thursday 4 December, why not join me at The Chichester Centre for Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Speculative Fiction for a talk on all things household folklore? It’s free!
My new book has arrived complete with purple spredges!
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!
