So this is #Solstice/#Xmas, and what have we done? The #Hoodening's over, we all had great fun… hopefully our audiences too, 13 performances around #Thanet in #EastKent, raising around £2000 for #SERVkent (Blood Runners). A new script as always, in rhyming couplets, but no new song this year. Topical references to NHS dentists, freebie clothing, Oasis, cost of living, explosive ships & rockets, Rwandagate, Wonkagate, Aurora Borealis, rural housing, dogging, army horses, and more… #HoodenHorse

@david_castleton "was"? Many #mumming folk traditions continue, as does the vaguely-related #mummering in Newfoundland, not to forget our own #Hoodening of course in #EastKent (which didn't die out in 1910 as your article suggests - see for example the books by Frampton or Frost for more details). Tomorrow is actually our first day of the season...

Mastodon doesn't really do threads, but using the tag #folkbooks we'll try to fake it & suggest five folios for #folklore fans seeking last-minute gifts, focused on our East Kent tradition of #hoodening (with Amazon links for simplicity; good alternatives such as Bookshop.org and EuroBook can be found on the #OzaruBooks site at https://ozaru.net/ozarubooks/contact.html). Here goes... (click the hashtag)

Everything you wanted to know about the #EastKent #folk tradition of #hoodening and #hoodenhorses but never dared ask is - probably - contained in hoodening.org.uk, the #OzaruBooks publications shown there, the current exhibition at Maidstone Museum … and now @thefolklorepodcast podcast at http://www.thefolklorepodcast.com/episode-130.html - enjoy! #FolkloreThursday #folklore 🐴

Sat 29/4 at #Maidstone Museum: #folkcustoms inc. #autohoodening, talks by @thefolklorepodcast & artist #BenEdge, etc. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b60quA_gNy0 for previous curator's tour inc. #BroadstairsFolkWeek #hoodenhorse herd…

Ac oherwydd fy mod i ar y gweinydd'ma:

Ein #hoodenhorse "Satan" mewn paentiad newydd gan #BenEdge. Bydd hwn - a llawer o geffylau #EastKent gwreiddiol o'n traddodiad #hoodening - yn cael eu dangos yn yr arddangosfa yn Maidstone o fis Chwefror. Os na allwch gyrraedd Maidstone, gallwch ddarllen y llyfr cysylltiedig (https://ozaru.net/ozarubooks/animal-guising.html) #folklore #marilwyd

A snapshot from a #Hoodening and #wassail day in Sandwich, #EastKent, with #Hoodeners from Deal and Canterbury, stags & modern Whitstable beasts (May Day, #hoodenhorse replicas, #MariLwyd). All of these are due to appear in an exhibition at #Maidstone Museum from February, and are featured in the linked #OzaruBooks publication out now.
