Our Extra History & Mystery Blog
Embedded Files
We are based in South Cheshire, and visit mysterious sites across the UK,
documenting them in Art and Poetry.
We do go further afield though, into Shropshire, Staffordshire,
Derbyshire and also the majestic Forest of Dean!
We research historic sites, myths, folklore, magical places, ghosts and people.
We are also avid practitioners of the Occult, Paganism, Ritualism, Qabala,
Shamanism, Traditional Witchcraft, Folk Magic, Gnosticism, Christianity,
Freemasonry, Druidism, Chaos Magic, etc - Whatever Our Souls Enjoy!
We often celebrate festivals throughout the year, and learn all about the
mysteries of this World and the Next, through Ascension.
The following pages document some of the sites we visit with artwork
and rhyme, and also some of our philosophies, putting our
'mindscapes' and 'dreamtime' into poetry and artwork.
You will also find some Artwork Pages, The Sacred Repository
containing favourite quotes, and some we have dreamed up ourselves,
as well as Ghosts caught on film, and Festivals, with rhyme and photos.
We also like to write articles about magical and mysterious things,
so make sure you check out our History & Mystery Section, too!

ADVISORY FOR READERS
If you read the poetry upon this website, please do not read it
as if I wrote it, but in the vein of Poet Laureate Ted Hughes direction,
that, Every Poem Is A Shamanic Prayer To Yourself,
i.e. I wrote it, but You Read It As If You Wrote It,
as a SHAMANIC PRAYER TO YOURSELF, that way,
my worlds I have lived through and share with you, whether physical, spiritual, soulistic, or metaphysical, etc,
Will help you see the Majestic, and make you think,
SEEK and YOU Shall FIND!

Michael C Oakes
Michael C. Oakes, known to many by his pseudonym Jarl Grimm, is a seasoned collectibles dealer and passionate curator of vintage toys and pop culture relics. A lifelong collector himself, he brings both expertise and enthusiasm to his work—whether sourcing rare finds or sharing insights with his audience as a YouTuber on his channel ‘Jarl Grimm Toys’
He also runs another YouTube channel ‘Jarl Grimm on Tour’. Which is devoted to silent travel vlogs of hotels, attractions, wildlife, historical buildings and sites, and much more.
Born and raised in a quiet rural village on the outskirts of Nantwich, Cheshire, Michael’s creative spirit runs deep. In his spare time, he is an artist, poet, photographer, videographer, and craftsman. His artwork—often described as distinctive and unconventional—has been exhibited at Nantwich Museum, and his first published poem appears in the anthology Homage to Cheshire.
Michael is also a folklorist with a deep knowledge of British folk traditions, beliefs, and customs. He has studied with modern-day witches and practitioners of traditional witchcraft, exploring the enduring legacy of conjurors, charmers, healers, and cunning folk across the British Isles.
His wide-ranging interests include history, archaeology, hiking, the paranormal, the occult, wildcrafting, winemaking, nature, wildlife, and video games. Whether he’s trekking through ancient landscapes or searching for modern-day pop culture treasures, Michael brings curiosity and craftsmanship to everything he does.
Above all, he is a devoted husband and father—grounded, imaginative, and always exploring.
