Trees appear as a link between worlds, sources of life and wisdom, and as the physical forms of mythical beings. They feature in stories as abodes of gods, places of prayer, homes of spirits, and subjects of taboos. #folklore
"MoneyTree", Fairy Glen Falls, Scotland. Many coins from around the world have been hammered in over the years and a handy stone has been left on the top. The coins are left as a gift to the Fairies and it is thought that it will bring good luck and keep the water clear.
Legends say the Goddess Kali fought an ancient demon named Raktabija During the battle, Kali cuts Raktabija and drinks all of his blood. The aggressive effect of his blood turns the goddess into kali the destroyer #mythologyMonday #mondaymythology #kali #mondaythoughts #goddess
In Cumbrian dialect, 'urchin' is hedgehog. In a creation #mythology, the entire world was just a big lake, and it was a giant hedgehog who brought soil and sand in its needles, thus creating dry land. #mythologymonday
In Russia, be careful not to waste bread. For when you die, the wasted bread will be weighed & will determine your entry into heaven/ hell. If the lifetime of waste weighs more than your body, you’re off to hell! I eat a lot of bread so I know where I'm going 😇 #FolkoreThursday
Being "born with a veil," e.g., a caul or the amniotic sac still attached to the head has been a portentous sign in many cultures. Usually it portends good things. Preserving & carrying the caul protects against shipwrecks, drowning, witches, and crop failure. #FolkoreThursday
Goddess Nephthys with her outspread wings. From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62). Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 60666
In European folklore, the unicorn was as an wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could be captured only by a virgin. In the encyclopedias, its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness. #folklore #mythology
Snakes were regularly regarded as guardians of the Underworld or messengers between the Upper and Lower worlds because they lived in cracks and holes in the ground. The Gorgons of Greek myth were snake-women whose gaze would turn flesh into stone. #folklore #mythology #symbolism
In Flanders and the Netherlands a fairy ring is called a heksenkring which translates as witches' circle. It's believed that witches (sometimes disguised as cats) danced on that spot. It's also said that if you step into a heksenkring you will never return. #FolkloreThursday
When I'm in France one of the closest megaliths to where I live is the menhir of Kerampeulven in Berrien (Finistere). It is one of several menhirs that tradition held would improve the fertility of women wanting to become pregnant if they rubbed against it. #FolkloreThursday
MERMAID NETSUKE (根付). These exquisite miniature sculptures have a long history & reflect important aspects of Japanese #folklore. Popular during the Edo period in Japan (1615–1868). Spirits & supernatural creatures are common #GothicSpring

Looks like this Italian film is reaching VOD for English-speakers. By Matteo Garrone (dir. the outstanding Tales of Tales), widely described by critics as "creepy," so should be good, more like Carlo Collodi's novel. The trailer certainly looks that way. youtu.be/y8UDuUVwUzg
