Pendrell, Luke, 2024, Show, Exhibition or Event, Spectral transmissions: Rare and popular rhymes, proverbs, sayings, prophecies, slogans and gathering cries of the north of England: (midwinter)

Abstract or Description:

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 Collyer.
