Do the Vendigum live at the North Pole?

Do the Vendigum live at the North Pole?

 

What I want to know is this …

Where did all the magic go … Where are the space aliens, the flying cars and the dragons? When did we stop hiding out in caves and wishing to find smugglers and buried treasure? When did we stop dreaming about being the famous five and start watching the sort of reality shows that have our brains leaking out of our ears to escape to a world where questions open doors.

What the fuck happened to starry nights, and old castles and secret agents? Where did the fairies go to? Why do we live in a technologically advanced world that can send us to the moon and can’t create cars that run on happiness. Why can’t we fly like Peter Pan? WHERE are the tree houses and the woodland swings and the banana boat adventures?

Are there no more sorcerers and magic and demons? Where are the giants hiding? Why don’t we pick plums off trees and go picnicking on secret islands? Why have we stopped looking for adventures and myths and legends? When did our collective minds close? Did it happen gradually so we didn’t notice or with a creak and a reverberating clang that we have long since forgotten?

What happened to camping in farmers fields and milk fresh from the cow? What happened to home baked cakes and scones for tea? What happened to climbing in haystacks and sitting with ladybirds on our noses? Why don’t we take our little rowboats out fishing any more or dive off rafts in the middle of lakes just for fun?

Why are there NO SECRET PASSAGEWAYS? Where are the circuses and acrobats and the campfires? What happened to the secret societies and the vampires and the werewolves? What happened to climbing trees and skipping and merry-go-rounds?

Where are the dancing penguins and the magical chalk pavement pictures. Has Mary Poppins got too old? Did Captain Hook ever get out of the crocodile? And white-water rafting down the Amazon and Canibals and Voodoo  and Witch Doctors and Telekinesis? What happened to them?

Do Gods retire or do they die when you stop believing? Do Gods eat other Gods when one religion subsumes another? How can we find the pot at the end of the rainbow? Are leprechauns really Irish?

When did camping become regimented squares of grass instead of getting down with nature? What happened to the escaped tigers and the big cat sightings and WHAT ABOUT THE YETI??

What happened to the Wise Women? Who runs with the wolves now? What happened to Crocodile Dundee? And what about dreams and interdimensional portals? What about ghosts and telepathy? When Alice fell down the rabbit hole, was the rabbit really big or Alice really small?

What about gypsies and nomads and bedouins – where is their space now? Why is the scale so big? Does God give private audiences? How long IS a piece of string? What happened to flesh-eating hamsters and homicidal feet? What about alchemy and the art of transformation? What about invisibility and flying and love potions? What about Time Travel?

These are just some of the things I want to know. What about YOU?
