That's lovely to hear, thank you. Lots more ideas so I'll keep them coming and hopefully that will help you feel more connected to your ancestral land.
Oh wow!! I used to wander the fields looking for stones, jeremy says that was my childhood!! I love hag stones and have always….but have never heard of or found a fairy loaf……gosh!!! Do you know how much I would love one now!!! Keeping my fingers crossed the fairies trust me with their bread one day xxx
Hi Sharyn, i really enjoy your videos 😊. I'm struck by the similarity between hag stones and the weights used on warp weighted looms (round with a hole to suspend them). Textile work has such primordial female magic - if i needed staff and wand, I'd definitely go for a distaff and drop spindle. I wonder if there's a connection there...
I am so excited for this series, even though I don’t practice “witchcraft” as such frequently. This video was excellent! Folklore is incredibly important to us heathens and I’m sure this will enrich my own AS heathen practice. I’m even more excited because it is you - most other English folklore videos are often very “Celtic”. Those hagstones and fairy loaves are incredibly beautiful - I need to find myself some. Consider me jealous! One of my favourites from East Anglia is Black Shuck and the scorch marks still present on the church in Blythburgh.
Bless you. So glad you enjoyed it. I've been meaning to do this series for ages. So pleased I've finally got going with it. 😊 Recently invested in a whole load more books on the subject so my East Anglian folklore library will soon be rivalling my Early Medieval library. Oh yes, Black Shuck, possibly from the Old English word Scucca. Well, you'll be pleased to know that I do indeed intend to cover this wonderful story and next week I plan to head east to Bungay and Blythburgh!! So excited!!
@@wildwoodrunester How exciting! While on the topic, I think a “tour” of your library would be incredible. No doubt I will have a lot more on my list. In terms of Anglo-Saxon gods and such, I have heard Stephen Pollington’s “Elder Gods” and “Leechcraft” to be the most thorough. Have you read these? :)
Alas, I’m currently exiled in Somerset 😭😭 My dad has a farm just over the Suffolk border between Newmarket and Ely, so it’s nice to get back home there whenever I can.
Thank you! Im an East Angle in America so its nice to see some lore from my ancestral homelands.
That's lovely to hear, thank you. Lots more ideas so I'll keep them coming and hopefully that will help you feel more connected to your ancestral land.
