I couldn’t help releasing a deep sigh of relief, reading Sand Talk by Australian academic Tyson Yunkaporta; there is hope out there and one line has stayed with me ever since: “The assistance people need is not in learning about Aboriginal Knowledge but in remembering their own.” It felt like a quiet invitation — to look for guidance in the land where we live. It got me thinking about the rituals and traditions of British folklore culture, could they bring us closer to nature? Could they help us reconnect with our most authentic selves? I began to wonder whether the simple act of getting dressed, something so everyday, so overlooked, might hold more power than we realise. Could fashion, in its most grounded and intentional form, become a kind of ceremony?
