I don't know what to say.. . Over the years, some of my dearest friends have been artists... I spent equal parts thinking they were genius... seeing things in ways that we just never could...and then also restraining myself from yelling at them to smarten up... This video has had the same effect on me... thanks for sharing this John i definitely appreciate it

A fantastic exhibition. I thoroughly enjoyed the events connected with it and was delighted to meet Allen Fisher again who I worked with some years ago. I was also taught by Brian Catling as a lowly undergraduate at Central School of Art in the 80s (just around the corner from Swedenborg House).

Really enjoyed this. I live near Bath, Michigan. The 1st time I visited that town I had an overwhelming sensation of dread, upheaval, and death. Only later did I learn of the Bath massacre, a man blew up the school killing 44(?) Back in1927. I get the reality of indelible presence. Thanks.

I’m a recent subscriber, I’ve been binge watching as and when I get time. I enjoy the river walks in particular, may I be so bold as to suggest a walk following Salmon’s Brook, I grew up around Edmonton and Enfield, it was a great place to play as a kid. It’s not quite as accessible as it once was but I’d like to see what you could teach us about its history beyond the Wikipedia page. Many thanks for your hard work!!!!

What an absolutely remarkable piece . An art installation in its own right . At points it takes walking to another level - a psychedelic geography. Timeless but very much a conversation that started in a unique period in time - Counterculture ☮️ . A product of an ' Alternative London ' . All tigether very Far Out . Thank you ✌️

Really enjoyed this John , I love the Moorcock quote , I used to love Moorcock's stories from Jerry Cornelius and the strange distorted vision of sixties London to the eternal Champions series and again parallel places and histories and strange reflections of Albion , also his novel of London offering so many stories! I used to walk a lot of North Central and West London in the seventies and used to feel other realities bleeding through especially in the old industrial quarters , then the Blake connection too and Alan Moore, mystical Albion also Avebury mystic sacred space , it marvelous seeing all these elements drawn together and learning something of Swedenborg as well , now I understand why I love your walks it's the magical mystical element that underpins your videos , thanks again John and Ian Sinclair, catch you on the next walk wherever that may be 💗🌈☯️👍

Many thanks to you John, Iain, Stephen and all involved in this excellent film. The metaphysical or, dare I say it spiritual or even occult realms are best touched upon lightly when commenting on U tube posts; I know from experience that one can so easily be 'trolled', if that's the word, by more or less literate literalists, which, whilst affording mild amusement is nonetheless tedious. I'm well impressed with the artefacts here, also the interior of the house. Iain's paintings are lovely and magnetic in effect; the whole exhibition, and everything I hear about Swedenborg brings the spirit of Blake strongly to mind. Inspiring and impressive. Thanks again all! ⭐👍

Coal Hill is mentioned early on, and there is a hint of recognition. Closer to the end, there it is again... “at the end of the walk we wind up back at Coal Hill” (or something like that) And then it hit me! Coal Hill School from Doctor Who. And at the very end, the reference to Doctor Who. Cosmic.

Clearly a lot of time and thought has gone into this and is a real passion for Ian. Made me think with all these synergies and happenings he references, what are they signs to? What is the point of all these connections? It can come across over indulgent on Ian’s part without a real end point or significance given for the exhibits as if someone needs to be able to understand a lot of subtext and have read a lot of the books he refers to get any meaning from it. although if it interests him and others then there’s no harm in that.

Curious to know what the Stumbling Bow actually was before it became river junk and prior to its appropriation as psychogeographic totem. Its form looks familiar but sufficiently encrusted to arouse mystical credulousness. Very high 'magical' and 'energy' count in this video. Nobody's fault but Sinclair's and Swedenborg's!
