The Wolves and The Windmill

 'The Wolves and the Windmill' sounds a bit like a European fairy tale, but when you're in Mythago strange portals open for you which can mean spending your weekends in ways you'd never imagine!

These two beautiful creatures are Lady Moonshine and Dr Jones. They are 90% wolf and are part of a pack of nine from Watermill Wolves. Both are socialised [they live inside] so are used to being around the public under controlled conditions, but you respect them and give them space. A few of them have been in films and others are used to help people who have experience trauma. The couple who share their home with them absolutely adore them and are very knowledgeable. A lot of their time is spent running a wolf sanctuary and giving talks about conservation. This was part of a Norse event we were dancing at on Saturday.

In complete contrast we found ourselves up a hill on Sunday at Rottingdean Windmill which is just down the road from Brighton. This time we had been asked along as part of the outside performances for an art installation called Wilde Volk all about the masked traditions of Europe. There were some stunning photos [not shown] and many hand made artefacts on this theme to admire. There is more info on this film which gives more of an overview 

We weren't the only masked entertainment wandering around as later on the Wild Men of Hastings joined us. Some of our newer members have commented on just how amazed they are at what Mythago gets up to. I've never taken it for granted and am still very grateful for the experiences it brings to my door. 

Hope you have a great weekend.
