Round the Herne

 My reading of the first stave of Charles Dickens' 1843 classic story "A Christmas Carol", I hope to get the other four staves recorded and up before the 25th rolls around. Seasons greetings ones and all.

 At a memorial service to a long time friend, Adam, I was asked to read a poem by Eugene Field in honour of Pan which my friend had liked. With this in my thoughts I decided to record it here, as I do not think it is that widely known, and to add in a couple of extra poems on the same topic, one by Elizabeth Barratt Browning and the other by Robert Frost in which the Greek deity appears in America.

 To celebrate Halloween 2025, here's a recording of Shane Leslie's 1931 short story (or, really, two stories glued together) about spooky goings on. The weather is looking a bit high risk for anyone contemplating a besom ride later tonight.

 The discussion topic for the November meeting of the Suffolk Jungian Circle (online, 7.30pm on Wednesday 26th) is the Star Wars films and how they can be understood from a Jungian stance. The recording below is to kickstart talk, but I am only focusing on the original three films - mainly because I haven't kept up to date with the more recent additions. However, people joining in with the chat may wish to expand into the newer films. If you would like the link to join in the discussion, please let me know.

  A story for Halloween about awakening the Beast Within and the dangers of having an insatiable appetite for revenge (it's a hard path to run back from). It's always the quiet ones you have to watch out for...

 A recording for the October meeting of the Suffolk Jungian Circle (on 29th at 7.30pm, if you would like to be sent the link). This time we will be discussing Jung's views on parapsychology and some of the ways in which it can be understood within the realm of analytic psychology.
