The Folklore Mail

Art, folklore and lost stories in your letterbox (not your inbox) every month.

Join before the end of the month to receive the next month’s mail (e.g. sign up before 31 July to receive August’s letter).

What is the Folklore Mail?

The Folklore Mail grew from my work to research, write and illustrate a guide to surviving the dangers of creatures from Celtic folklore (alluring mermaids, ravenous waterhorses, shapeshifting sprites and many more…) by using protections from authentic folklore.

Every month, your letter introduces you to a new creature and tells you how to identify it, where you would find it, and how to survive an encounter. This is accompanied by a traditional folklore story, retold or adapted by me for the Folklore Mail, and a watercolour illustration of the creature as a fine art print. The mail also often includes a little extra something every month just for fun.

The Folklore Mail is for wily adventurers, the curious, those who love fairy tales and folklore, writers and artists using fairy tales and folklore in their work, and anyone who wants 15 minutes peace with something beautiful away from a screen and enjoys the anticipation of slow mail and the fun of finding something mysterious waiting for you in the letterbox.
