This house has very little space for bookshelves. If I move sooner than I intend, it’ll be for that reason, I’m certain. While I appreciate kindle (especially with how much I travel), I need - yes neeeed - my hard copies. But I digress.

A substantial part of my library is books on writing. No surprise there given my career. Plus, my dad’s friend gave me his entire books-on-writing collection some years ago. Now I’ve already boxed up the “literary greats that I must own but will never read again, sorry not sorry Charles Dickens” to save them for my daughter when she’s in school and has to suffer through them. But still so many. And I keep buying more .

Which brings me to today when I was considering picking up a copy of Story Grid. I ducked into the reviews to avoid the mistake I made with my last book-on-writing purchase. With such limited space, I get irritated when I end up with a useless book. Good thing I looked too. Most critical reviews were helpful and I was leaning toward not purchasing.

Until I reached the one that lambasts the author for his obsession with Silence of the Lambs.

Y’all, one of my few regrets in life? The first day in ENGL 451 when our hypercritical (brilliant so brilliant) professor asked us to name our favorite book. The suckups rattled off the long dead literary greats. I went with Cider House Rules. He shamed all of us for lying, because if we’d told the truth there would have been a 709% increase in “Harry Potter” responses (different time ok? This was 2007).

But I’d also lied. Even though I DO love Cider House Rules, my favorite book is Silence of the Lambs.

The End. Still not buying the book. I hope you’re mad that you read this meaningless shitpost

The Pagan Origins of Wassailing

Have you ever heard the song Here We Come A Wassailing? This is one of my favorite songs to listen to this time of year, and when I looked into it I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is more to this song than meets the eye. So what is Wassailing and could there be some Pagan history behind this holiday tune? The word Wassail may come from the old Norse phrase “ves heill” which means “be healthy,” though it’s more commonly believed that it derives from an Anglo-Saxon greeting that means to be in good health. Traditionally after someone would say Wassail, the common response is “Drinc hæl” which means “drink and be healthy.” Wassail first appears in English literature in the Pagan poem Beowulf in the lines: The rider sleepeth, the hero, far-hidden; no harp resounds, in the courts no wassail, as once was heard. The word Wassail also makes an appearance as a toast that occurred right before the Saxon battle of Hastings began in 1066 CE. An Anglo-Norman poet wrote that in the last feast before the battle he heard a cry of: Rejoice and wassail Pass the bottle and drink healthy Drink backwards and drink to me Drink half and drink empty. But it goes deeper than this because Wassiling is not just a phrase, greeting, or a toast - it’s lots of different things. While the word Wassail can refer to the act of toasting, it can also represent the beverage that was drunk during the toast. Today, Wassail is a popular holiday beverage and there are many different recipes for this drink. One of the oldest versions of Wassail is called Renwein, which is a spiced wine that resembled the ancient Roman drink called hypocras.  The drink survived into the middle ages and became a popular wassailing drink among the wealthy. Another version of the Wassail drink, called “Lambs Wool” is mentioned by none other than Shakespere himself during his play A Midsummer Night's Dream. This version of Wassil involved a dark beer that was whipped to create a frothy texture and then crab apples were floated in the drink. Shakespeare describes this version of Wassail in the lines: Sometimes lurk I in the gossip's bowl In very likeness of a roasted crab And when she drinks, against her lips I bob, And down her withered dewlap pours the ale. Traditionally Wassail was drunk in a bowl not a glass, and often people would dip their bread in the bowl or float toasted bread on top of the drink - this is where the word “toast” as a drinking term comes from.  Beyond just being a drink and phrase, wassail is also a verb and “to go wassailing” is a tradition that likely has some fascinating Pagan origins, especially in the western region of England. The production of hard-cider was traditionally and still is today essential to that area. In this region Wassailing is not just about toasting the health of their fellow man, it’s also important to toast the health of the cider apple trees. Each year people in this region go out into the orchards, drink in hand, to sing to the spirits of the apple trees and this tradition is called Wassailing. The purpose of the singing is to wake the trees and scare away any evil spirits. The singers will also sometimes place cider-soaked bread in the branches of the trees to ward off evil spirits. There is also an English folklore spirit called the Apple Tree Man who is honored during the Wassailing. The Apple Tree Man is the name for the oldest tree in the orchard and it is believed that the fertility of the orchard as a whole derives from this tree spirit. Extra attention is given to the eldest tree in the orchard and people may honor the spirit by pouring cider into the roots. As with all modern folklore traditions we may never know their true origins, but I think it’s pretty clear that this practice of wassailing the orchards taps into ancient Pagan practices and beliefs. Wassailing as a practice does not just occur in the orchard, some people take their singing door to door. This was kind of like a trick-or-treat version of caroling, where people would sing but usually expect some kind of payment. This practice fits in with the idea that the holidays were a time where social expectations would be lifted. During the holidays the poor expected privileges which were usually denied to them. This included the right to enter the homes of the wealthy and drink their booze in return for singing a wassailing song or two. These activities were known as “misrule” and often were presided over by a “lord of misrule” who coordinated all kinds of inappropriate revelry. These “misrule” traditions go all the way back to Saturnalia activities from Ancient Rome and were translated into the twelfth night celebrations still practiced today. Over time many of these Pagan influences of Wassailing were forgotten. Authors like Washington Irving and Charles Dickens helped create a more idealized version of Wassailing as just a warm and peaceful Christmas & New Years tradition. Though I hope after reading this you’ve come to see that Wassailing is not just a Christian tradition. So why is Wassailing important? On the one hand toasting with the word Wassail is a way to connect with the past and bring it to life. It’s a way to celebrate community, culture, and your connection to nature. And for us Pagans it has even more importance because it helps us tap into ancient traditions and beliefs. When you say “Wassail” you’re honoring pagan-inspired literary works such as Beowulf. You’re celebrating the apple harvest and the ancient spirits that live in the orchards. And you’re honoring a tradition of topsy turvy misrule that goes all the way back to the Roman solstice celebration known as Saturnalia. So get yourself a drink, grab a couple friends and head to the nearest apple tree to give thanks and celebrate this time of year. Wassail!

I'm craving Dickensian (Little Dorrit is my favorite) but I want to read something new. Recs?

Thanks for the ask! I hope there’s something on this list you haven’t read to strike your fancy.  

The novels of Elizabeth Gaskell: another great social writer of the 19th century, Gaskell’s books are full of charming characters, scandal, and romance, but also searing indictments of structural economic inequality, sexism, and the human toll of the Industrial Revolution. In particular check out North and South and Mary Barton. 

Mansions of Misery, by Jerry White: a social history of Marshalsea, the debtors’ prison where much of Little Dorrit takes place, and its more colorful inhabitants. 

The Sally Lockhart Trilogy, by Philip Pullman: a fast-paced and atmospheric Victorian adventure series that gets increasingly political as indomitable young Sally faces wickedness and corruption across London’s neighborhoods and social strata. 

Vanity Fair, by William Makepeace Thackeray: sprawling, satirical, and witty, Vanity Fair charts the rise of relentless social climber Becky Sharpe and her many friends and enemies. 

Uncle Tom’s Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe: Uncle Tom didn’t age as well as Dickens, and today it is much mocked for its syrupy melodrama and cringe-inducing stereotypes of enslaved Black people. But it’s hard to overstate the book’s historical significance as a social novel and flashpoint for the Abolitionist movement. In the American South, it even got a bookseller run out of town and inspired a whole sub-genre of pro-slavery propaganda called “anti-Tom books.” 

The Goldfinch, by Dona Tartt: Maureen Corrigan at NPR consigned the work “Dickensian” to the critical scrapheap, but not before taking it for a last epic outing in her review of Tartt’s sprawling, larger-than-life novel. 

Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho: hilarious and sometimes sinister Regency fantasy starring a young sorcerer fighting aristocratic English prejudice with virtue and hard work, and a young woman fighting it with blatant scheming and more than a little magic. 

Fingersmith, by Sarah Waters: at once a pulpy Dickensian pastiche and a haunting and original suspense story, feverishly atmospheric and full of twists and turns. 

The Way We Live Now, by Anthony Trollope: a whirlwind tour of Victorian London’s incestuous upper class and a biting satire on the confabulations of financial speculation, as one mysterious newcomer turns the lives of all around him topsy turvy. 

Cider House Rules, by John Irving: a portrait of complicated men in rural Maine that is also very much an homage to David Copperfield and Great Expectations.

5, 11, 23, and 25.

5 - Favourite song in your native languageBecause my native language is English I’m gonna shift this to favourite song from a band from my country... so my answer is ‘Biblical’ by Biffy Clyro who are a British (Scottish) band and I adore them (fun fact I turned 22 whilst watching Biffy Clyro lol). It’s such a banger of a song and they’re such a good band and the music video is awesome too

11 - Favourite native writer/poetThe easy answer here is J K Rowling because she gave me my childhood lmao; but out of the ‘classic’ authors, I’m still an absolute sucker for Charles Dickens. My Dickens obsession was known to the point that when we left school my old English teacher bought me a copy of Dickens’ ‘Nicholas Nickelby’ as a goodbye present... 

23 - Which alcoholic beverage is the one favoured in your countrySee, this is hard because it depends where in the UK. Scotland is known for it’s whiskey tbh, Northern England does some proper good beers... where I’m from in the UK (South West England) we’re massive on the ciders. Like, there’s specific cider pubs in Bristol, the city I’m originally from. Brits just love our booze in general lol; you can’t beat a beer or cider in a pub garden on a sunny day

25 - Would you like to come from another place, be born in another countryI think this question is a case of ‘grass is always greener on the other side’. I love New Zealand with all my heart and still maintain that’s where I’ll probably end up; but I’m glad I’m from the UK and grew up here, there was always so much going on even if you grew up in literal ‘field land’ like me. Being so close to mainland Europe was so cool as a teenager, so the geographic location of the UK is swell. And also the UK is pretty unique as a country? Like, we’re one country but at the same time four countries that make up one country, and England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have pretty distinct identities within the UK. So I think growing up in a country like that has been cool even if it’s given me a lifelong fury when people refer to ‘England’ when they actually mean the UK, England =/= the UK, England is just a part of the UK god dammit LEARN THIS
