The Ghost Monk"[Kipling] told me that in his own part of Sussex he had noticed a sharp division between benevolent lands and tracts of the countryside which seemed maleficent. 'There is a wood, he told me, 'which is full of a sense of ferocity and evil, secretive and menacing.'"

Paul WatsonIn case you're interested, I've got ~75 copies of each of the 4 issues of Vol. 2 of "Rituals & Declarations" #zine left (Vol. 1 sold out years ago). Something about #Hookland by David Southwell in each issue, and work by many others. £5 each, will ship globally.
The print run for vol 2 (2021/22) was ~2k per issue, so 75 copies left isn't too bad, but those final boxes are now cluttering up my studio, and the contributors' work in those issues deserves to be seen.

Nice set of pictures today! I can feel The Hum along the lines.
Are you familiar with #Hookland? I'm getting a similar, nicely haunting vibe here.

Passed WonderIf you go down to the #woods tonight, you'd better not close your eyes.
If we're going to the Downs tonight—I sure hope we all survive!
For the wind is waking dark creatures up, and on your blood they wish to sup.
Today's the day, if you're not quick… [REDACTED]

The Vallakin
At the heart of this mysterious county lies the Vallakin, an otherworldly nexus known for the hauntings of a thousand generations. As the portal to the depths of Hookland's arcane history, the Vallakin is a place where the ditch between the seen and the unseen is gossamer-thin, allowing those who dare to enter to traverse the boundary between the tangible and the ethereal.
Journeying through the Vallakin, one is enveloped by an atmosphere thick with the whispers of ancient spirits and the echoes of forgotten tales. The air itself seems to hum with the resonance of folklore, a chorus of myths and legends that have woven themselves into the very landscape. As you traverse this mystical gateway, you may encounter the spectral remnants of bygone eras, the phantoms of historical figures, and the echoes of events that have left an indelible mark on the county's soul.
