about this zine

With the sun at its lowest ebb and the night stretching to its longest duration of the year, Weird Walk Issue Seven appears as a symbol of the continuing cycle of rot and renewal, death and new life.

Taking inspiration from the woodland, author Nadia Attia explores the folklore surrounding some of Britain’s iconic tree species, while leafy associations abound in reflections on the Hastings Jack in the Green festival. The aptly named Verdant Wisdom collective guides a rural exploration of dungeon synth music. Elsewhere, two mavens of weird walking, Alice Lowe and Benjamin Myers, lead separate quests in very different locations, each filled with magick and memory.

And if trees can emotionally connect people to the landscape, then so can the old stone monuments that so entrance; this issue also explores phenomenological approaches to ancient sites (and, also, cheese).

Includes photos by Sarah White, Rachel Adams and Freddie Miller.
