How To Survive The Ritual Year – Talk

If you happen to be free at 7.30pm on Monday 2 June and enjoyed either The Everyday Lore Project or the resulting book, Everyday Folklore: An almanac for the ritual year, you might fancy joining me for an online talk at Wiltshire Museum where I'll be discussing the practicalities and pitfalls of the Ritual Year. Tickets are only £8 (less if you're a member) and if I time it right, they'll be a Q&A at the end!
