Across Britain, barn owls have also been given the names Ghost Owl and Demon Owl as they silently sweep across church yards, pale as ghosts; their piercing and unsettling shrieks severe against the stillness of the rural night

Herald moth (Scolyopterix Libatrix)
With the exception of Scotland, the Herald is common throughout Britain and can be found in hedges, parks and broadleaved woodland. It over winters as an adult, so is often one of the first and last moths of the year to be seen.
The larvae feed on Willow and Poplar and the adults can be attracted with light or sugar.

Leonese bagpipe in urce wood, and ringed in bronze. A commemoration for the 1100 years since the capital of the Astur-Leonese kingdom changed locations due to the kingdom's expansion in the reconquest of Iberia.
Although the bagpipes of Galicia, Asturias, and León are part of the same type of Atlantic bagpipe, there are small differences that have been marked in recent times. The Leonese bagpipe we could say is the one that remained with a more archaic shape, and retains an old tuning,
More differences would be in its more powerful sound, due to the opening of its bell, the pipe, or payuela, and many times its great dimension, rusticity, without rings, the wood used is urce.

The most common weaponry of the Cantabrians and Asturians at the time of their wars with Augustus was something similar to this rendering.
Surviving rebels of the Astures and Cantabrian tribes took refuge in their forts on the higher altitudes where they resided to avoid the reach of the legions, due to their dwindling numbers. And also because the majority used throwing weapons like these spears. A useful advantage when hiding in forts built on elevations.

The Highland Clans especially those descendants of Dál Riata inherited their kin-based society from the cultural heritage of Dál Riata, however in the Scottish Borders region, the development of clans was a story of survival. During the 13th-17th centuries neither English nor Scottish thrones devoted many resources towards their subjects in the Borders, leading to the kinship based society of the Border developing out of suffering and necessity in which many smaller families unified under larger clans such as the Armstrong’s and Johnstones, as the beneficiaries of their protection. The difficulty and uncertainties of basic human survival meant that communities and/or people kindred to each other would seek security through group strength and cunning, found in what was known as “reiving” which was the raiding and plundering of each side of the border country between the 13th-17th centuries. Reive, a noun meaning raid, comes from the Scots reifen. The verb reave meaning "plunder, rob".

New Nature Reserves Established by Citizens Prove WE Can Save The Planet!
Several initiatives worldwide to restore and preserve nature prove that we don’t have to rely on the government to protect the land. Instead, we, the people, can come together, buy out acres, and turn them into a nature reserve ourselves! A Scottish community recently did it, and another in the UK. Imagine how much of the planet could be saved if more groups follow suit and use community ownership as a catalyst for regeneration with the environment at heart.

Happy Samhain and All Hallows Eve from us at The Wild Folk. Here in Scotland it was traditional to carve out neeps (turnips) in order to provide an illumination to ward off evil spirits at a time in the spiritual calendar when the borders between the lands of the living and dead become perforated.
Carving a turnip is not hard and most stores should sell them. It does however require a bit of hand graft. Cut off a lid, hollow it out by cross hatching the flesh with a knife and scooping with a spoon (keep the neepflesh for a soup or fritters). Then place a candle inside, position it outside your house or in a window sill. It is also customary to leave a saucer of milk or cream for passing benevolent spirits.
