Baba Yaga, the enigmatic Slavic witch & shapeshifter, dwells deep in the forest in her infamous hut on chicken legs—it spins, turns to face intruders, & moves on command! She flies in a mortar & pestle, iron-toothed & wild, shifting forms in tales of trickery, & dark wisdom.

People with a certain strength or fixity of purpose may have ghosts of a certain strength and fixity of purpose--most haunting ghosts, you know, must be as one idea'd as monomaniacs and as obstinate as mules to come back again and again. H.G. Wells, 1902

At Camlann's bloody field, King Arthur falls mortally wounded, the mighty Pendragon breathes his last breath.
Yet death is no end: by ancient Celtic enchantment (some say Morgan le Fay's craft), his soul shifts into raven form
over Britain, to reclaim his realm again. #KingArthur 👑

Orkney's Muckle Mester Stoorworm, monstrous sea serpent, devoured maidens & poisoned lands. Humble Assipattle crept into its maw, lit its liver with burning peat. The beast convulsed in agony, died exploding—teeth formed Orkney/Shetland/Faroes isles, corpse became Iceland.

In Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, the spider becomes a fate-weaver. Like the Norns of old, Charlotte spins destiny into her web—words as spells, silk as salvation. A barnyard tale, yet steeped in ancient myth: that language itself can alter the threads of life. 🐖🕷️ #Charlottesweb

#Dragonflies shimmer between worlds. In Japanese lore they were emblems of courage & victory; in parts of Europe they were called “devil’s darning needles,” feared yet fascinating. Born in water, rising to air, they embody transformation, illusion & the magic of midsummer light. 💫

Viking ships carried Norwegian Forest Cats as fearless mousers, guarding grain from rodents and helping prevent plagues.
Their cousins? The mighty Maine Coon in America.
And the old lore whispers: 'When you gaze into a Norwegian cat's eyes, you may catch a glimpse of the fairy world.'
