Ooo...this is wonderful! A return to nature and a retreat from cause and effect tyranny which sucks out imagination as reality and dries up soul as life. Love it.

Thank you. I was spinning off what I see as the best retelling of the Robin Hood story, which I think came out in 1912.

The book also includes "tumuli" or mounds that you find across England, often very ancient. In the book "little people" come out of the mounds, again reflecting archaic mythology, perhaps from the original indigenous Britons. The above article says the rest.

Cool...I'll check it out...but again, I love your treatment metaphorically of "scientism" as the enemy of human curiosity/imagination/creativity...maybe it is a stretch, but it really hit me that way...you may have inspired me to write an article...!! Thanks!!!

Yes, scientism is a cult. We lost our religion but not our religiosity. So we grabbed a sterile ideology and it turned into a monster. Scientism is the antithesis of William Blake. Now it's "Blake must die, long live King Scientism."
