Recommended reading

Our rural Internet service has gone from bad to worse, and I'm going to have to start sending Myth & Moor posts by friendly mice at this rate. I'm working on getting this fixed, and in the meantime I have some recommended reading for you:

* Sharon Blackie on walking the hidden pilgrim trail in the Scottish highlands.

* Emma Marris on myth and soil.

* Robert Macfarlane on the new animism.

* Melissa Ashley with a short piece on women and fairy tales. (If you'd like to know more, try my essay on the subject here.)

* Rachel Cusk on Celia Paul, Cecily Brown, and being a woman artist.

* Terry Tempest William's exquisite essay on land, ceremony, and the gods among us.
