A reminder to local Dartmoor/Devon folks that Wassailing and Mumming are happening in Chagford tomorrow. After participating in a 7-week, 250 mile Mumming pilgrimage last year, my husband Howard was determined to bring Mumming (back) to Chagford. This is only the start.... 🙂
For Devon / Dartmoor friends: The next Celebrating the Earth event in Chagford is a late wassail amongst the apple trees at the Imbolc weekend, spiced up with a short, seriously fun Mummers Play of the epic Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. Bring drums or pots & pans to bang to help wake up the trees.

It's lovely to see these old Mumming photos, as we have a Mumming troupe here in Chagford that my husband is active in, along with folklorist @lisaschneidau.bsky.social and others. Their next appearance will be in local pubs (a traditional Mumming venue) on the 5th of January. More info soon.
"St. George & The Turkish Knight.
The old Mummer's Play is one of the most interesting features in British folk-customs...story acted is the world-old one of the death of a champion...& his resuscitation..."

My husband is in a local Mumming troupe, and we love Mat's animal Mummers portrayed in this thread. The risograph of all six Mummers hangs above Howard's desk now....
FRIDAY SHOP PLUG!
Combining my love of folklore and stupid dances here are some linocut mummers. Mummers were (are) cavorting masked performers in folk play or mime often demanding food or booze for their efforts…

Blue 35 showing off her expert mumming skills once again.
Breakfast is served. Look at how Mum turns her beak sideways to let the Bobs take the fish. Bobs 1 and two are nearly as big as her now. Bob 3 is waiting quietly at the back for a turn. Small but smart!

In old European mumming plays, masked villagers performed door to door in winter. Their costumes carried blessings and chaos in equal measure. The wild came visiting. #WyrdWednesday

I just got sent the mummest meme I have ever seen. My mum is mumming at a professional level. If you could flip this over to the back it would be a large glass of wine telling you not to speak to it til it’s had its coffee

"Landscape and Folklore". Well, that's my MA Folklore Studies module finished this year. Love teaching it. This evening we finished with mumming, Plough Monday, wassailing - decline, reinvention, and re-imagined outdoor customs over the last century.

My husband Howard (in green) as Gawain receiving the magic green girdle. Yes, it was all very silly, as Mumming should be.
