This Saturday MORAL PANIC! Taking the current anti-trans panic as a starting point, we’ll be tracing the role of rumour, contemporary legend and conspiracy theory in stoking this and previous moral panics, showing how they’re all inextricably linked. folkloremythmagic.com/event-details/…

And a chance for pupils to meet Bob!
All set up @TodmordenHigh for our Volunteer Drive supported by @HeritageFundUK offering young folk the opportunity to engage with heritage in #Todmorden and gain valuable skills and work experience.
These little faces are appearing in the Centre in a mysterious fashion! The first a short while ago, then I noticed the second on a picture frame today. Either a lovely human visitor leaving us gifts or those pesky Fae folk playing with me! Either way, they do make me smile. 🙂
Back as usual on Thursday!!
We’re all set up at Todmorden Town Hall ready for an afternoon of music and activities to celebrate the launch of Calderdale’s Year of Culture!
Would you like a visit from an #asexual author? *writers’ groups *reading groups *#LGBTQIA+ groups *uni/college/6th form *libraries/bookshops Enjoyed by @LgbtBradford @leedslibraries @bradfordlibs247 @CentreMyth @hudlgbtqsoc #IndieApril ko-fi.com/c/7a735fe989

Hum, kuch kahanian, aur zinda Dilan-e-Lahore ✨ We’ve wrapped up “Hazaaron Saal Pehle, an art exhibition based on folklore at the Lahore Heritage Club. Join us tomorrow for Dastangoi, and on Saturday for a Thikri art workshop!” ❤️
It's a full moon, and time for the Orkneyology Podcast!Among our folkloric musings tonight, we pose the burning question: "Are you a bookworm or a bookdragon?" Listen on the website: orkneyology.com/orkneyology-po… Youtube: youtu.be/n8muFpEyHLE or Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0CuYpxinh…
Tomorrow's online talk will look at the archaeology of staircases. They are not just a way to access different floors in a house but tell us lots about social history and attitudes of the times they were used. More info and bookings here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-secrets-…
Tonight is #StMarksEve. In British folklore, those who gather in their local churchyard may witness a shadowy parade: that of the spirits of the neighbours who would die within the next year. More in @Verity_Holloway’s piece for The Darkness Issue. 👉🏽 helleborebooks.com
Another for your collection, @CeriHoulbrook ?
Saw hundreds and hundreds of padlocks attached to the protective rail along the whole length of the bridge over the River Wharfe at Otley, Lower Wharfedale. Anyone know why? 🤷♂️
Folks, thank you so much for all the responses to this: you're all really generous. I'll work through them this evening and get back to people. I'd planned on one interview, but I think a few would be completely appropriate, thanks again.
I'd like to interview a UK folklorist for my thesis, about storytelling, myth-making, and the ways in which we create and connect to rural places. There are people here I could approach, but many of you have a lot going on, and I don't want to dive into DMs. Anyone up for it?
Exploring ritual in the British landscape for an upcoming book with @odavies9 I visited London's 'Lovelock Hostage Bridge' at the Jewish Cultural Centre - only to find it inaccessible behind a locked gate. Which sadly may say a lot about the British landscape
@CentreMyth Thank you lovely! (Were due a coffee I reckon! Im away next week but around after that?).
