Everything

Old Is New Again comes from a sense similar to nostalgia, felt by people without the experiences necessary to feel nostalgia for a thing. Twenty year olds wearing bellbottom jeans and talking the merits of the Doors? That’s Old Is New Again.

Old Is New Again is something of a Weaver guerrilla. It isn’t trying to calcify reality or grow the Pattern Web. Old Is New Again is trying to add value to old things, in order to keep them from the junkyard; thus keeping them out of the Wyrm’s tendrils, and leaving less room for Wyld expansion.

The spirit uses subtle manipulative tactics to achieve its ends. It convinces twenty-somethings to disassemble old watches and turn their parts into jewelry. It makes that jacket in the thrift shop look just a little more vibrant. It makes your grandpa’s jacket clean, fresh, and sexy as it was in the 1960s when he met grandma. In some cases, it’s been known to nudge and inspire pop stars to write affectionate songs about used clothing — but Old Is New Again’s influence ended in that case when a nest of Cultural Appropriation spirits (see p.131) took over.

Image: Old Is New Again looks like an iconic example of something long gone, something that probably never really existed as we remember it. A common example looks the part of a cowboy. Others include delighted, obedient 1950s housewives, benevolent industrialists, and incorruptible, white knight police officers.
