Singer/songwriter with British pagan goth 'n' roll band Inkubus Sukkubus (est. 1989), writer, editor, designer and incorrigible cider drinker.
A ‘remedy against witchcraft’ in Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal, dated November 25, 1752. This anti-witch recipe takes no prisoners; stripping the malefica naked, turning their skin black while in ‘most horrid torments’ and eventually killing them. Nasty. #Bristol #England #witch #witchcraft
The first Hannibal. Brian Cox's understated yet terrifying turn as 'Hannibal Lecktor' in Manhunter. #manhunter #hanniballecktor #hanniballecter #michaelmann #thomasharris
Researching the story of #TheCampdenWonder for my book on the history of witchcraft in Gloucestershire and becoming more befuddled & fascinated by the moment. I've found out so much more than when we recorded the story for @inkubussukkubus.bsky.social's 'Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder' 10 years ago! 🤯
36 years today married to that there monkey Tony McKormack. Love you, our Tone! 🔥🫶🔥
Long shadows and cooling canopies as the sun goes down in the Forest... 🌳🌞🌳

The locusts in Aika's vivarium are getting along famously...

Happy Spring Equinox from sunny Gloucestershire! 🌱 Hart's-tongue fern, ramsons, wood anemone, primrose, common dog violet, nectar-gatherers, mossy fae dwellings... all thriving in an ancient quarry and wood. Spring's here!
Just 3 days till our launch party at The Folk of Gloucester. We'll be chatting about the band's 37-yr history, inspiration behind songs, then playing a full rock set - to include a couple from the new album - and prob partaking of a Severn Cider or two.🍻 inkubussukkubus.bandcamp.com/merch/eterna...

A new little festival in Gateshead! 1919, Bye Gemini, @inkubussukkubus.bsky.social, @byronicsexandexile.bsky.social and The Golden Age Of Nothing.
The dastardly dragon of Deerhurst... A bloodthirsty serpent emerging from the River Severn to feed on Gloucestershire folk, a particularly large and nasty lamprey, or Danish invaders out to pillage our fair shire? No, I don't know, either. #amwriting #Gloucestershire #legend #folklore
One week today! Join us and She Sells Sin at Dead Wax Digbeth in #Birmingham for a night of dark proudly pagan rock music. See you there! 🤘🖤 wegottickets.com/event/688825
I've been spending more time trying to get to know the Witch of Berkeley for the book I'm writing... she's elusive, and very intriguing. I think I'd have enjoyed partying with her. 😀 #Berkeley #Gloucestershire #witch #legend #folklore
To live on the coast is to know the sea as constant possibility of death. This leads – especially among those who earn their living from it – not only to superstition, but to acts of folk magic. Windowsills become altars for safe return, winds that bless and to gods that gift good catches.
GLAWSTER FOLK! Join us for our album launch at The Folk of Gloucester on Sat, 21st March. It's 8-11pm within the Tudor bones of 99-103 Westgate Street, with local ales/cider, music and equinox magick. Here comes the spring! 🌱 inkubussukkubus.bandcamp.com/merch/eternal-monsters-album-launch-party

A packed-out cinema at #Gloucester Guildhall last night for Voices Gloucester's film event. A life-affirming celebration of the diverse people of our little city, and a joy to experience. All films now available to watch on the website... recommended! voicesgloucester.org.uk/film-and-sou...
This foxy book has become more and more foxed over the decades it's lived with me, and smells as earthy as its contents. Wonderful! 🍄🟫🌱🌼 #RichardMabey #FoodforFree
