Rachel and I watched the Earthing documentary over the weekend. Basically, it makes the argument for the therapeutic usefulness of actual feet on the actual ground. As with most things like this, I’m less interested in this or that “evidence” and more interested in it as a practice of reconnection.

If you have interest in the film and/or paganism, The Sing-Along-A-Wicker-Man Scrapbook by David Bramwell is thoroughly enjoyable. It’s also well-made–a pleasure to hold and look over.

Penda’s Fen, folks. I never heard of this movie before yesterday and now I can’t get it out of my head. Pagan, anarchist, localist, seventies British folk horror. There’s so much going on in it.

Well this is beautiful: short documentary about Alfie Jacques, one of the last wooden lacrosse stick makers among the Onondaga.

Amazing documentary about a would-be terrorist.

My daughter Darcy has declared this Spooky Saturday. She says this involves Starbucks for breakfast, putting up more Halloween decorations, carving the pumpkin, a campfire, and more of the Spooked podcast. They’re still asleep at the moment so I’m watching Horror of Dracula.

This is worth watching (Netflix). Also good (if a bit less inspirational) is “Living Soil”.

Watched: Kiss the Ground (2020)

I found this fascinating and one of the more realistic approaches to making a bigger impact on our climate crises. I came away with a lot of questions that I want to do some reading on, which is good.

Inspiring, short documentary about Jadav Payeng, who has been planting a forest since 1979 to save the river island of Majuli from destruction by erosion.

It’s May 1st and you know what that means, don’t you? Time to watch The Wicker Man!

Something made me think of Lodge 49 today and I want to take this opportunity to recommend that weird and wonderful and tragically cancelled show to everyone - especially those who have an interest in occulture and/or love for slackers and losers.
