Issue 13 of Hellebore is here to welcome in the beginning of Summer, and does so by bringing us an issue dedicated to our connection with natural forces.
Inside: an exploration into the Cottingley Fairies of this fare county, and their link to lepidopteral darkness, a reflection on the wind as an elemental force and how it has inspired superstitions, rituals and elemental music, a look at the popularity of the British garden gnome and its link to our yearning for connection to the earth, a study of elemental weather in three classic occult films, and a meditation on the past, present and future of archaeoastronomy.
Elsewhere - how serpentine water deities are being reinvented to address environmental crises, and a profile on healing stones in our landscape, whose power comes from water, and the land itself.
HELLEBORE is a collection of writings and essays devoted to folk horror and the themes that inspire it: folklore, myth, history, archaeology, psycho-geography, and the occult.
