I'm doing a talk about Bonfire Night folklore on 3 November so I'm curious... What traditions do you follow, if any, for the day? If you don't follow them now, what did you do to mark the day when you did 'celebrate'?

#Halloween is a good time to be editing my next book, Witchland - including the story of Nazareth Fassett, prosecuted for being a woman who wouldn’t shut up (a scold or “objurgatrix”) years before her #witch trial ⬇️
