🌟NEW PATRON OF THE BLAKE SOCIETY🌟 The Blake Society is delighted to announce that writer, rapper and composer @testamenthomecut will be a Patron of the society. His work has long been inspired by a deep love and knowledge of Blake. At this important moment, as we head into the bicentenary of Blake’s death in 2027, we couldn’t be more pleased to have Testament’s support and interest. We are confident that his enthusiasm for Blake and his vibrant creativity will help to take the Society to new level. Talking about his new role as Patron of The Blake Society, Testament said: “Blake is an iconic, worldwide figure now. My introduction to Blake was at school – at first I didn’t really get those lambs and chimney sweeps and roses; but as I grew into my own political, social and spiritual consciousness and I came back to him as I grew and tried to understand the world around me, his work blew my mind. Blake led me in my thinking about the contrary pulls between pain and hopefulness in this world; and, as someone who came up through hip-hop culture, he made me think how I could use art and the poetics of rap and spoken word and song to explore and empower others. A lot of the social messages and the quest for spirituality that I was finding within hip-hop as a young teen, I find also in Blake. He walks with us in the labyrinth of our imagination. We still walk streets of satanic mills, commerce, greed and inequality, and still we find that the human imagination is key to hope and peace. Two hundred years after his death he is more relevant today than ever before and offers us an opportunity to imagine the world an anew – a world of compassion, empathy and imagination.” Read more about this on our website: https://blakesociety.org/testament-patron/

🌟FULL OF FAIRY ELVES🌟 Fairy and Supernatural Belief in the Eighteenth-Century On Monday 12th October, 7.30pm UK time, I will be hosting an event for @blakesociety. I've invited Dr Simon Young, folklore historian, to talk to us about fairy and folkloric belief in Blake's time. Blake's work absolutely teems with fairy and spirit creatures of all kinds. I wanted Simon, as a scholar from a different discipline, to talk to us and help us understand the context within which Blake was working. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! You don't need to be a member of the Society to join in - it is free and open it all. Nor will you need to prove any knowledge of Blake. A little curiosity is all you need. We welcome curious folk. More information and registration HERE: https://blakesociety.org/events/ IMAGE: The Goblin. Illustration to John Milton – L’Allegro and Il Penseroso (one of a set of 12 works commissioned by Thomas Butts)

Visiting Blake's Cottage and his local pub The Fox in Felpham Blake’s Cottage was home to William Blake and his wife Catherine from 1800 until 1803. During this period Blake wrote much of 'Milton: A Poem', the preface to become the hymn Jerusalem. It is planned to be restored and opened to the public in 2027, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of William Blake's death. The renovation of Blake's Cottage is progressing. The trust aims to restore the cottage to its state when Blake lived there, including removing later extensions, and turn it into a museum; a place of pilgrimage celebrating Blake's life and work.
