‘A short essay on the mythological links between ancient Egypt and the British Isles.’

Inspired by James Joyce, the title of this essay speaks to the idea of folk memory and water memory, where ‘Riverrun’ - the course a river takes to shape the land, and ‘rêverons’ - the french word for ‘we will dream’, resurrects the historical and ecological imagination through liminal space within the landscape.

The essay itself explores some of the mythological and folkloric links between Ireland, Scotland, Northern England, and Egypt, in an attempt to determine how the symbol of the serpent arrived in Britain and what its pagan significance could mean.
