Don't kill spiders.
This time of year, spiders start coming inside. While it might terrify many of us (myself included), killing them is bad luck in some cultures, perhaps because they are such good pest control. Killing a spider might bring bad winter luck. #FolkloreSunday

Known for their grand migrations southwards this time of year, monarch butterflies in many cultures are associated with the souls of the dead. They guarantee souls find their way home, but sometimes, when they return, they might just be those souls revisiting us. #FolkloreSunday

In Daoist astrology, autumn is the time of the White Tiger of the West and the element of metal. It represents a movement inward, a time to reflect, to grieve, and to celebrate the good things life brings, in preparation for the harsh truths of winter. #FolkloreSunday

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism.

Love a good dragon myth!
In the second attempt at Creation, Izanami succeeded in her mission by having ten thousand children, who are the land and kami that inhabits Japan. One of the last born was Kagutsuchi, the god of fire: he destroyed his mother, and created death. #WyrdWednesday

My earliest memories are listening to Greek & Norse mythology and not long after reading mythology for myself. By my teens I had graduated to the myths of eastern Asia and Africa.
To this day, reading foundation myths like Kagutsuchi here is like inhaling that first aroma of coffee, gets me going.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Daughters of Eris, the Algea are the Three Sorrows: Lype, she of pain; Achos, she of grief; and Ania, she of sorrow. Their anguish was both physical and mental, making them diverse goddesses felt by all but loved by none. #LegendaryWednesday

Heer and Ranjha are famed Punjabi lovers, mad about one another but separated by her family's disdain for the unlanded flute player. Her jealous uncle poisons Heer's food, and in grief at failing to save her, Ranjha eats it too, choosing death over separation. #LegendaryWednesday

The Lament for Enkidu is a song of sorrow within the Epic of Gilgamesh, where a weeping Gilgamesh holds the body of his tender friend and weeps for all of Uruk to see: for grief is never shameful when it is earned. #LegendaryWednesday

The Vestal Virgins maintained the sacred fire of Vesta, goddess of hearth and home, for the goddess was quite at home at Rome and a sacred order of women was made to maintain the fire for official sacrifices and rituals; Christians extinguished it in 394. #WyrdWednesday
