Those who have read recent instalments from our Darklore anthology series will no doubt have enjoyed Cat Vincent’s explorations of the blurred lines between the mythical and the real, in his essays on ‘The Slenderman’ and on the rise of ‘hyper-real religions’. In the video embedded above you’ll find an outstanding talk by Cat that covers this topic eloquently and with some humour as well, ranging everywhere from the origins of paganism to the history of science fiction (which aren’t actually that far apart, as you’ll learn from Cat’s talk).
Highly recommended – grab yourself a beverage, get comfy and enjoy!
(Warning: some cherished beliefs may be challenged.)
