Exploring the many ways in which people interact with place
You’re not going to get many recommendations from me to sign up to a Substack-powered newsletter (why?) but I’m going to give you one today. I’m delighted to say that Northern Earth, a magazine I initially subscribed to on the recommendation of author Warren Ellis, is continuing under a new editor, and they have created a new monthly newsletter called The Hare.
Founded in 1979, Northern Earth is the world’s longest-running journal combining interests in archaeology, folklore, neoantiquarianism, earth mysteries, phenomenology and psychogeography – exploring the many ways in which people interact with place.
Don’t get me wrong, the community around the magazine is a broad church, so there’s some things in the magazine at which I raise an eyebrow. But, on the whole, I like alternative explanations of history and pre-history. As Hercule Poirot, the famous fictional detective once said, “If the little grey cells are not exercised, they grow the rust.”
Here are some links from the first issue of The Hare:
