The Lost Spells

Product Information

A series of spoken word pieces, wild nature calls and acoustic music created by musicians from the Spell Songs ensemble – the musical evolution of The Lost Words and The Lost Spells books – will create an ambient soundscape which invites audiences to listen to what nature is telling us. Complement The Lost Spells, to the lushness of which no screen does justice, with naturalist Sy Montgomery’s poetic memoir of what thirteen animals taught her about being a good creature, then revisit Macfarlane’s enchanting narrative journey into the hidden universe below the world we walk and Morris’s enchanting pictorial journey into the hidden universe beyond the waking world.

Size - Changes how large the pulse explosion is. Larger means less damage but a bigger hitbox. Unlike other spells, the size ranges from 100% to 200%, instead of 20% to 100%. We’re excited to present The Lost Spells exhibition and host it here in Northumberland, where we have the opportunity to galvanise people’s support to conserve and protect the natural world.” Casting Style - Purely cosmetic, changes the casting animation when using the spell. Has an unique "Roar" option.And as if the book couldn't get any better, it is filled with the most stunning watercolor illustrations of all the beautiful wildlife Robert Macfarlane is writing about! What we’re trying to do is make birds visible to people who don’t see them because a lot of people pay them no regard. The front of each card bears one of Morris's Greenaway Medal-winning paintings; on the reverse, you will find an accompanying quotation from one of the spell-poems in the Lost books, as well as identification of the species shown on the card. The remaining space is left blank for you to fill in these wild cards with pen, pencil or paint– and then send them out into the world to make and renew connections.

Duration - Changes the amount of times the javelin pulses, from 1 to 4. More pulses - less damage per pulse and vice-versa. (although the total damage is the same regardless for this spell) The moment one fathoms this, it seems nothing less than an elemental sacrilege not to go through our days — these alms from chance — in a state of perpetual ecstasy over every living thing we encounter, not to reverence every oak and every owl and every leaf of grass as a living benediction. Teachers were inspired to draw up free teaching resources for The Lost Words and Morris said one of her favourite stories came from a school where children in an “eco club” used to hide their badges, but since reading the book had worn them with pride. “I guess it gave them courage to believe and to love the wild,” said Morris. Wonderful activities and ideas celebrating the magic of nature and language which can be used standalone or consecutively as a cross-curricular scheme of work in English, Science, Art, PSHE and to support research skills. Each section takes one of the animals or items from nature featured in each spell, and invites children to Seek, Find, Speak, Write and/or Create their response with extracts and illustrations from the book to support and inspire learning: The group have announced they will turn The Lost Spells into another album and they hope to tour the new music next year.Die Autoren versuchen bei diesen Werken mithilfe von "Zaubersprüchen" der Entfremdung vieler Wörte aus der Natur entgegenzuwirken und möchten diese für kommende Generationen bewahren. Den Ansatz finde ich ziemlich interessant, da unsere Sprache sich ja mittlerweile stark im Wandel befindet und sich gefühlt von Jahr zu Jahr etwas verändert.

A fun, wild and boisterous adventure full of paw-tapping music and dancing, played live on-stage by talented actor-musicians, The Lost Spells is a riot of colour and a new Alice in Wonderland, celebrating the magic, power and wonder of nature that could be just outside your window. A century after the great nature writer Henry Beston insisted that we need “a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals,” observing how “in a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear,” Macfarlane and Morris bring us the mystery and wisdom of wild things as complementary and consolatory to our tame incompleteness.After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains? Nature remains; to bring out from their torpid recesses, the affinities of a man or woman with the open air, the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day and the stars of heaven by night. Asked whether there was an environmental message in The Lost Spells, Morris said: “It’s a celebration of the nearby wild. If there is a message there, it is simply wonder and awe at the beautiful complexity of the non-human. And respect, for the wisdom of trees, the shape of a bird, the wild of the fox.”
