One of my very favourite #folklore books. Published in 1780 by a #Monmouthshire minister and stuffed with a plethora of weird phantoms and #fairylore. Jones retells how his father saw the #fairies and repeats many first-hand encounters with the likes of Death Omens and Black Dogs. #FolkloreThursday

#Autumn is the time when the veil thins, #Cats can see throught it.
Cats were thought to be able to see through the magical illusions, or "glamour," of the Fae.This allowed them to discern a Fairy's true form, making them natural protectors against deceitful or malicious spirits.🐈🧚♀️

An illustration by Scott John Batten of an episode from the Scottish ballad 'Tam-Lin' in which his true love Janet, here at their first meeting, must rescue him from the Queen Of The Fairies. #FairyTaleTuesday #fairy #fairies #faery #fairylore #folklore #legend #fairies #ScottishBorders #FolkTales

The fairy court in Northumberland was once up the Hartburn from Rothley, they say, until the actions of an over-proud miller offended them and saw them take themselves off up to the area around Dancing Green Hill and the Hurl Stane, near Chillingham, where the white, fairy cattle still roam.
But there's a lot of them up the Henhole too, and an outpost near Elsdon and Otterburn, all of them seeming more related to each other and to the other wild, little people of the moors than they are to the more lordly fairy folk of Eildon and the Borders.

"I have heard but little reference to fairies among the people. There are vague references to men being pursued by fairies, who would ride on their horses behind them, or on the cart tail.
"Those over eighty tell me that in their young days grown up people and children believed that the fairies held their moonlight dances in an avenue of ash trees near the village, where there were well defined fairy rings in the soft turf, and aged people of that time were so convinced of the existence of these beings, that they would affirm that they had seen the dances going on, and that when a human being approached the fays would disappear.
"An old woman relates that in a field on a farm where she worked there was a deep hollow in the ground from which they said the fairies used to come, and the people at the farmhouse told her the fairies used sometimes to come to them from that place 'to borrow a sieve to sift their corn'."
- Hastings M. Neville, Rector of Ford, Northumberland, 1909

The Henhole, deep in the Cheviot Hills. Where waterfalls blow backwards, peregrines fly overhead, and fairy music drifts out of the hills.
It's said that once a hunting party chased a white hart all the way up the College Valley, only to be entranced by the beauty of the music and disappear forever underground.
