Hellebore, Issue 12

The landscape of these isles is embedded with stories: of how the Devil and a race of giants became architects of hills, mountains, and caves; of a host of faeries glimpsed in twilight tales; of the outlaw hero who defiantly embodies the countercultural essence of England; of an innate magic emanating from the land itself.

In this issue, Hellebore looks at the power of myths that keep returning to us in one guise or another, at ancient artefacts that tell tales of the deep past, at how mythmaking emerges from the land as a powerful form of protest. The reader can follow them into the dark woods to face both their heart’s desires and terrors untold.
