Glastonbury Tor “Isle of Avalon” (10/10/2025)
It's said that beneath the hill there's a hidden cave through which you can pass into the fairy realm of Annwn.
Standing 521 feet above sea level, the Glastonbury Tor tower- all that is left of the former St. Michael’s Church, built in the 14th century.

Honoured to talk about 🇫🇮 sauna tradition at Ottawa, on the unceded Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.
Sauna's origins are thought to go back 10,000 years, and still part of many different cultures.

Finnish folktale tell us that the first woman was named Heve. But Heve tempted Adam to sin and she went inside of the mountain as punishment. Mountain trolls are the descendants of Adam and Heve. After this, God created Eve. #internationalwomensday #folklore #trolls #womanmyth #creationmyth #finland

Water -0.3 degrees Celsius (31.46 degrees Fahrenheit).
H20 treatment that is said to strengthens the body's defences, stimulates the circulation, nervous system and metabolism. But also makes us laugh and relax. #iceswimming #coldtherapy #coldplunge #saunaculture #steambath #saunakeidas #citysauna

Kalevala(1835) was compiled by Elias Lönnrot on the basis of the epic folk poems he had collected in Finland and Karelia. This poetic song tradition had been part of the oral tradition among speakers of Balto-Finnic languages for 2,000 years. (Kalevala day Feb 28th). #folklore #ritualpoetry #rituals

Imbolc occurs during the Druid Month of Rowan. Rowan symbolizes protection and power.
In Finnish language January is Tammikuu=Oak month and February is called small Oak month. Rowan trees are still full of icy berries and birds have their feast! #imbolc #folkcalender #wheeloftheyear #rowan #folk
