I grew up in a small village. Our house was from the 1970s. It was one of two homes which had been built in the grounds of a traditional cottage that dated much earlier. Our back garden had a regularly fruiting mature apple tree which had once been part of the cottage’s orchard and was now within our boundaries.
Chocky was my Wyndam magic. The stuff about thought being outside of time and space has stayed with me. In 1999 I was in Jersey with family & friends to catch the Eclipse. It was profound life-changer of an experience. Spiritual but also intensely 'material'. One of our party had been so engrossed in a book that he'd kept it open and just turned his head as the magic was happening. Then quickly back to his book. I found this completely incomprehensible. I moved closer to see what could have kept him from witnessing the celestial wonder. Yeah, he was reading Chocky.
I'm totally here for the new magic! Looking forward to leap day.

Divine Magic will always beat Sorcery Magic. See you at Leap Day!
