The Spirit World: This month’s Spectral Transmission slips quietly through the slumbering city streets listening to intense whispered tarmac dreams and the quiet concrete mumbles.
“I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned.”
Arthur Machen

This months Spectral Transmission Features
RARE AND POPULAR RHYMES, PROVERBS, SAYINGS, PROPHECIES, SLOGANS AND GATHERING CRIES OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.
Midwinter: In these northern climes midwinter is a time of Inversion and strange magic. It is a time of opposites and anarchies, bright fires and feasts in the darkness and cold. A time of fortunes won and lost, visions seen, prophecies made and battles between elemental forces waged. Day turns to night and The Holly and Oak Kings, once again trade places . Spectral beings prowl the land and the Fool is made King. Midwinter, is the time of the Lord of Misrule, and the Wild Hunt. Some might think these as rude, Rough and Rusty relics of a former age.If they come, they come not: If they come not, they come.
With elements of Being & Doing 1985 by Stuart brisley and Ken McMullen and original material by Jon Colyer
