BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW Žmuidzinavičius or THE DEVIL'S MUSEUM is in Kaunas, Lithuania. It holds sculptures of devils from all over the world. In 1966 it consisted of 260 items but visitors have left their own devils as gifts & they now have 3,000 devils #FaustianFriday

HISTORY OF OLD NICK Daniel Defoe believed in the devil as a tempter & wrote a History of the Devil to try to contain evil (image 2 is the 1793 printing). It included a description of the Devil's dwellings🎨 Open Court Publishing's fetching reprint, Chicago, 1900 #FaustianFriday

#faustianfriday Thomas Dalyell once played cards with the Devil at a marble table in his home. To beat him, he used a mirror to see the Devil's cards. Satan got so angry he tossed the table into a pond. In 1878, someone found the table in the pond Actual pond, table, and hoofmark

#fairytaletuesday Lucifer has been represented in art to some stunningly beautiful results: Lucifer by Franz Stuck (1890) Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabranel (1847) Lucifer by Jackson Pollock (1947) Do you have a favorite Lucifer art depiction?

#mythologymonday In various French folktales, the Devil dresses in green. Green was a medieval hunter’s color, meaning the Devil was hunting for souls to trap and take to hell.

#folklorethursdayFL There is the Castello della Volta. In the 14th century, the ballroom collapsed in the middle of an orgy. The ballroom disappeared, completely blocked off. It is said the Devil did this to take their souls to Hell. You can still hear their cries and see flames.

#wyrdwednesday In Hildegard’s Ordo Virtutum, a play she wrote and composed in 1151, the Soul interacts with the Virtues in beautifully sung music while Satan is unable to sing. Hildegard saw music as the language of Heaven, which meant that Satan was not permitted to sing.

#FolkloreThursday The Devil came to St. Dunstan in his smithy disguised as a woman. The saint grabbed him with burning tongs until he turned into his real form. When Dunstan released him, the Devil ran to Tunbridge Wells to cool his nose. That's why the water has a red color

#mythologymonday To sign the book of the Devil, witches were said to use thorns from the blackthorn tree and blood. That is why witches were many times burned on pyres made of blackthorn wood.

Swifts were called "The Devil's Bird" and were thought to have carried the voices of souls who were bound for hell. This bit of lore brought to you by the orphaned swift we found today.

#mythologymonday One of the most well-known representations of Satan is the goat. This derived from the image of fauns and satyrs, with half-goat bodies, pointed ears, goatees, and a tail. They represented lasciviousness, which was one thing the church identified with the Devil.
