Protect yourself.
Protect others if you're able.
Protect all creatures, great and small.
Protect crumbling ruins and standing stones for elves and fairies.
Protect bogs, marshes, and misty moors for wandering witches, wayward spirits, and all of the horrors shambling in the gloom.

#Fairytaletuesday Two examples of Frost Giants, who originated in Norse mythology before migrating to Slavic folklore. They represent winter in all its primal & oft fatal magnitude.

Here’s a twist - many old British churches feature the “Green Man” (a decidedly pre-Christian figure) in the decorations. This catch-all spirit was probably slipped in by the carvers rather than requested by the clergy!

“An old woman and the devil placed bets to decide which of them was more skilled at sowing discord and creating sorrow.” Is the most believable sentence I’ve ever read in a folktale. #folklorethursday

The Middle English term elferingewort ("elf-ring"), is said to be "a ring caused by elves' dancing". Similarly, Scandinavian lore states #fairy rings are burned into the ground by the dancing elves, & we humans might want to avoid them!

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days
