about

An elegy to the green man, woman or person, whose features and genius loci seem to appear frequently as if to remind me of something integral, whether amongst the cloisters of Durham Cathedral, hidden within the intricate carvings of Rosslyn Chapel or represented at customary festivals such the Burryman of South Queensferry, The Herring Queen of Eyemouth and The Jack in the Green of various English towns. (Grey)

lyrics

You will find me in the cloisters
On the cathedral wall
But if you ask the old books
I was never here at all
I was never here at all

You may see me as a stag
You may spy me as a hare
But if you ask the river
I was never there,
I was never there

You’ll find me in Old Queensferry
Where I once a year walk free
And brought to harbour in Eyemouth
For a coronation of the sea
For a coronation of the sea

You may find me during Lammas
Around the summer fairs.
Counting time, drinking wine
With Garland Queens and old Straw Bears
With Garland Queens and old Straw Bears

You will see me in the forest
The watcher in the wood
Woodwose, Derg Corra Viridios
And Robin of the Hood
And Robin of the Hood

You may catch me in old stories
In songs you'll hear my name
When you think you see my face
It's never twice the same
It's never twice the same

The Hare And The Moon image

The Hare And The Moon Scotland, UK

The Hare And The Moon existed between 2009 and early 2017 and are now as ghosts. They lived in the forest and their main occupations were knitting, necromancy, dollmaking and devilry however sometimes they made music too. When they did they liked to throw their love of MR James, Arthur Machen, ghost stories, Black Sabbath, Pentangle and The Wicker Man into their cauldron and give it a good stir. ... more
