It's been a while since I've mentioned it but I have a book out! If you want to find out more about concealed objects & marks people find in buildings then it's worth a look. The book is divided into find types with details from all around the world. :-) apotropaios.co.uk/shop.html
New personal research library book just got delivered. The cat also seems interested in this one as well🤔
2/2 A nice little visit to Malmesbury Abbey earlier today. Food for the soul.
1/2 A nice little visit to Malmesbury Abbey earlier today. Food for the soul.
Coming up soon. Worth a look for sure! :-)
A lovely collection of daisy wheels from Cleeve Abbey in Somerset... Another great visit today.
Another excellent visit to Muchelney Abbey today, featuring deliberate burn marks, daisy wheels and a Marian mark.
To find out more about customs and traditions around St Brigid just follow this link to watch Jeannine's fascinating lecture presented at Hidden Charms 3 in Chester. youtube.com/watch?v=iC-Jbg… apotropaios.co.uk
Acquired myself a rather unusual piece of folk art this week. No prizes for guessing why...
@DABuildings Ooh very interesting. Will add this to my records.
As well as regularly appearing as a subtle apotropaic mark the daisy-wheel symbol can appear as an obvious and deliberate decorative motif in architecture and furniture such as this 17th century chest.
Call for papers: Hidden Charms 5. This conference is on Saturday 12th April 2025 at St Fagan's museum in Cardiff. We are looking for papers on magical house protection and apotropaic objects preferably with a Welsh flavour. apotropaios.co.uk/2025-hidden-ch…
My book is all about the actions people took to protect themselves from supernatural harm and the objects and protection marks found in buildings which are part of that. apotropaios.co.uk/store/p1/magic…
Had a great time lecturing at Muchelney Abbey today. If you'd like me to lecture near you please drop me a line. apotropaios.co.uk
A find of a dried cat from 2013. Posting here because I was just told about it today by a chap who knew the couple in the article. apotropaios.co.uk dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…
Croome Court (Worcs) is in my book due to a dried cat found when the stables were being converted. Recently a deliberate burn mark has been found on a floorboard, another near a void into an old roof space and a possible daisy-wheel on a 1920s dumb-waiter. Thanks to Jenny.
Hidden Charms 3 available on ebay too (and so is the bookmark): ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr…
Had a great time lecturing at Tanner's in Bridgnorth tonight. apotropaios.co.uk
A whole series of Marian marks around the edge of the tomb of this young gentleman from Besford Church, Worcestershire [check out the cod-piece]. This little timber framed church is an absolute gem.
Some coffers have seen more life than others. May I present the one from Eckington Church, Worcestershire (where I used to live).

Helping one of my bffs pack up her house to leave us for land north of the Humber 😞 Tonight, in her freezer, I found a small bottle wrapped in foil. It had in it, a photo of her ex & vinegar. It was a binding spell to freeze him out of her life - a modern day witch bottle! 😁🧙♀️
@lodeslan @delythbadder @WelshVernacular Ooh very interesting. Do you have a picture?
Honiton #Devon Two thatched grade II* cottages C17 or earlier. Old thatch c. 4' thick. Replacement thatch roof set on old walls with new ridge to allow original timbers to be left in situ. Cat skeleton found, probably apotropaic. Photographic report: devonassoc.org.uk/special-public…
Love this!
As well as regularly appearing as a subtle apotropaic mark the daisy-wheel symbol can appear as an obvious and deliberate decorative motif in architecture and furniture such as this 17th century chest.
@folkmagicman Thanks, learned a new word this morning, 'apotropaic.'

Fascinating
As well as regularly appearing as a subtle apotropaic mark the daisy-wheel symbol can appear as an obvious and deliberate decorative motif in architecture and furniture such as this 17th century chest.
@folkmagicman It’s common on chests in Norway and Switzerland, too. Given that chests were often used to store valuables, it seems a fair guess that the intention is protective.
