    Once upon a time, a group of sister spiders lived tucked away within a tiny wooden cabin deep within the forest. It was a lair of feathers and patchwork blankets where together they spun tales of twisted folklore, shapeshifters and seamstresses, gathered wildfood recipes, snippets of creative souls, fragments of music, sounds and poets wielding words like spells. Together they helped to nurture the collective egg of the magpie, all winter long. Within the first few days of spring, the egg hatched and out the Magpie flew. illustration by Michaela Meadow

    'She's Late!' This came to me today on my walk along the way, hope you enjoy. Merry love, Fleas x
     
    "She's late she's late," his small eyes implored as he continued "The Maids of the wood hold still most their gowns."
    "She's here" I replied. "Do not worry yourself so."
    "But she's late," and this he all but squeaked.
    "Lady Autumn is here though," I soothed. "Regard the Horse Chestnut spent."
    "But the Rowen, the Rowen," he said with one tiny paw held tightly in tuther. "She is bountiful and ready to feed a host, surely she must have wise of Lady Winters early and harsh arrival? I am so confused, I fear Lady Autumn will skip light with us this year."
    "She shall not," I said and then ventured, "Perhaps take yourself for a little while to the Pine who is evergreen and ever undeterred by such matters."
    He eyed me rather suspiciously and then asked what was truly on his mind.
    "Erm, have you any idea when I may be able to wear a Liberty Cap this season?"
    Though to this I could only smile and replied, "Try upon tomorrows misty most dawn and indeed if you find there are many then please bring me just a few to share."

    A rare opportunity to see these phenomenal musicians (who rarely stray far from their homes in SW Virginia) in Penryn!


    On their own, Rose and the Black Twigs have won plenty of accolades - Rose
    is regularly placed in the top tier of today's acoustic guitarists,
    distinguishing himself with finger-picked rambles that veer from
    ragtime to raga, while the Black Twigs have been described by Bluegrass
    Unlimited as "exciting old-time music at its finest" and by Sing Out! as "more akin to the previous generation of masters than many of those plying the trade today."

    The second part of the trilogy "The Empty Circle" by The Joy of Nature, entitled «Rastos de Sangue e fragmentos da Tradição», has been now released by Ahnstern and it is available at The Joy of Nature's store.

    In this second part a lot more instruments were used and more musicians collaborated, like R. Coutinho, B. Ardo (Sangre Cavallum), Rui Almeida (Massa Última), Triarca, Mara Neves and M.J.


    Not only a reaction against the modern world, but an alternative to this post-modern world.
