In Greek myth, Daedalus made wings of wax & feathers to escape Crete with his son Icarus. Ignoring warnings, Icarus flew too close to the sun, his wings melted, and he fell. A timeless warning against hubris & ignoring wisdom. ☀️ #Mythology

Residing in the forests of the Philippines, the Tikbalang is tall and thin, with the head of a horse and the body of a man. Travelers who don’t ask permission to enter its forest may be cursed to wander in circles, unless they turn their shirt inside out.🐴 #folkyfriday #folklore

In Northern Mexico & the Texas border, La Lechuza is a woman by day and a giant white owl with a woman’s face by night. Said to be a witch or wronged woman who made a deal with the devil, she lures victims by mimicking a baby’s cry. The ingredients in tajin can protect you.🦉#folklore

💎 September’s birthstone, the sapphire, has a mystical past.
Linked to Apollo’s prophecy at Delphi, said to be worn by Helen of Troy, thought to hold up the sky in Persia, used by crusaders to test fidelity, and even by necromancers for magic.

🌞🐍 On the autumn equinox, the pyramid at Chichén Itzá comes alive.
The setting sun creates the illusion of a serpent slithering down the steps. Kukulkán, the feathered serpent god, descending to earth. #mythologymonday

September skies are full of migrating hawks. In myth & folklore, they’re messengers of the gods: sacred to Horus in Egypt, omens of Apollo in Greece, guardians in Native traditions, & watchers in Norse & Celtic lore. Hawks=vision, wisdom, & change. #LegendaryWednesday #history #mythology #folklore

🌸One of September’s flowers is the morning glory. To the Maya, Aztecs, & Native tribes of Mexico, its seeds were sacred and were used in vision quests & rituals to communicate with the gods. It was used to create the rubber balls in the famous Aztec ballgames. #History #folklore

Today is Defy Superstition Day! Lets pick one to defy.

🕷️In Hopi and Navajo legend, Spider Woman is a weaver, protector, and guide. She spun the world into being, taught humanity the art of weaving, and offered wisdom to those who listened. Silksong has me thinking about insect myths. #history #folklore #vtuber #mythology

🪲 With Silksong on everyone’s mind, let’s look at insect mythology. In Greek legend, the Myrmidons were Achilles’ warriors. They were ants that were transformed by Zeus into a fearless army. From ants to heroes, insects have always marched through our myths. #Mythology #Vtuber

📘Today is International Literacy Day! Meet Nabu, Babylonian god of scribes, literacy & wisdom. He invented writing, inscribed fates of men, rode a winged dragon & was linked to Mercury. Ironically: the world’s oldest script, cuneiform, is difficult to read today. #MythologyMonday

🍻 It’s National Beer Lover’s Day, so meet the Bieresel!
This German kobold loves beer, playing tricks on brewers by spoiling batches or hiding tools. Give it a drink and it’ll help clean your inn. Refuse, and it’ll wreck your business. #FolkloreSunday #Folklore

Folks living in Europe, Asia, Australia & Africa should get ready for the blood moon tomorrow (9/7). In Legend of Zelda BOTW and TOTK, this causes the respawn of Ganon's minions across Hyrule. Watch out for bokoblins!

🔴This Sunday (9/7), a Blood Moon rises! Visible in Europe, Asia, Australia & Africa.

✨ In Norse myth, it meant the wolf Hati had caught the moon, heralding Ragnarok.

👑 In Babylon, it foretold a king’s death, so a substitute ruler was crowned for the event as a sacrifice.
