WEIRD WALK

Wanderings and Wonderings through the British Ritual Year

Weird Walk, Foreword by Stewart Lee

The first book by iconic zine creators and cultural phenomenon Weird Walk. This is a superbly designed guide to Britain’s strange and ancient places, to the pagan rituals practised today, and to the process of re-enchantment via weird walking. Season by season, it offers up 32 very special and truly magical locations, from megalithic sites such as Pentre Ifan and Stanton Drew to locations of modern rituals such as Tigh nam Bodach and Chepstow. 

By walking the ancient landscape and following the wheel of the year as it turns, we can reconnect to our shared folklore, to the seasons and to nature, setting a course towards optimism, re-enchantment and a brighter future for all.

With a foreword by comedian and standing stones enthusiast Stewart Lee. 

WEIRD WALK began as three friends walking an ancient trackway across southern England. The first Weird Walk zine, now into its fifth edition, was published in May 2019. Weird Walk also produce events, such as the touring festival “Ley Line” launched in autumn 2022. Find out more at weirdwalk.co.uk
