closing out the year with a heady brew

of these dark fruits I do dream...⚫️
Kiki Smith, Sleeping Witch, 2000

Normally at the waning moon I post a round up of what I’m reading, listening to and thinking about. I have taken this week off as I need to recover from a medical procedure, but I will be preparing a heady brew in my cave of convalescence.

NEXT MONTH…

  • 🌚 The Second Instalment of my field notes from Stronsay: The accused witch Scota Bess, a haunted croft, the Mermaid’s Chair, and more… (For paid subscribers)

  • 🌔 At the waxing moon: A bona-fide bob of seal song incoming! BUT did seals teach these songs to people? Or did seals learn theses songs from islanders, as some folktales might suggest?

  • 🌝 Full Circle at the full moon: quite possibly back in Berlin…

  • 🌖 A long-awaited Round Up at the next waning moon!
