A Journey of Wanderings & Wonderings From Summerisle
A Journey Of Wanderings & Wonderings From Summerisle is a special zine that dives into the actual myths and contexts that underpin The Wicker Man, the 1973 film that’s often held up as one of the greatest ever made. Stone circles, pagan rituals, even the history of apples… a wonderful deep dive for fans.
Folklore Activist - The Art of Ben Edge
Ben Edge’s paintings capture a unique vision of British calendar customs and folklore. Although we have seen a resurgence of interest in these matters of late, when he began painting folk traditions in the last decade, Ben was an anomaly by virtue of placing such subjects at the centre of his practice.
Folklore Activist is a 40-page visual primer showcasing Ben’s artwork alongside an in-depth interview with Weird Walk, plus the print debut of his essential Folklore Activist Manifesto.
Howl
Limited edition of 500 + 12" art print. Daisy Rickman’s second full-length album Howl. The Cornish painter and musician has drawn inspiration from the landscape of her home county and created a collection of ethereal, out-of-time, psychy, pastoral folk songs in homage to, in Daisy’s own words: “the sun, the stars, and explorations of the cycles both within ourselves and throughout the turning wheel of the year.” The album sleeve, inner sleeve and art print all feature paintings made by Daisy Ric…
