Northern Earth #183

Inside:

Inside the new Northern Earth - an account of diabolical battles between Christianity and paganism, taken from unpublished works by folklore expert Frank Earp, observations taken by Phinella Henderson on the epic pilgrim route from Canterbury to Rome and Leuca, Paul T Hornby goes in search of Merlin in the Scottish borders, and Simon Young seeks out the grave robbing, ox-sized Baum Rabbit of Rochdale.

Elsewhere: megalithic networks across the Irish Sea, a reinterpretation of the Aubrey holes and Station Stone rectangle at Stonehenge, and the changing face of Neolithic sites in Malta.

Oh and that cover pin-up - that's for the 400th birthday of John Aubrey, pioneer of both archeology and folklore studies and the subject of a reflection by Andrew Chapman.

Expect:

With its focus on megalithic sites, sacred landscapes, psychogeography, folklore & tradition, strange phenomena and 'other aspects at the interface of human consciousness and the land from prehistory to the present' Northern Earth finds itself in the position of progenitor to the print titles that have rekindled an interest in folklore, folk horror and the occult in the last few years.
