After a few knocks this week, I'm really having a crisis of confidence regarding my work and a big ol' bout of imposter syndrome. I am trying my best to be kind to myself and ease through it ✨️
I made my first ever batch of Soul Cakes today! Hopefully, they'd get the approval of Mrs Ward or Mrs Gill, who continued the tradition on in their little parts of Shropshire 💚

I'm a writer, Folklorist, and part-time Goblin writing about Shropshire Folklore, with a focus on ghosts. I am also a trainee history teacher and the brand ambassador for haunted magazine. I love #Medieval History.
It's so important to me to remember when writing, whether named or unnamed, the subject of folklore is people. It is their experiences and stories that shine through. So we must focus on that personhood, and treat them with kindness and empathy always 💚
