#WyrdWednesday
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 👑

Ragnarök: the ultimate final curtain in Norse lore. Odin devoured by Fenrir, Thor slain by Jörmungandr's venom, Loki & Heimdall mutually destroy each other. ⚔️
The World burns under Surtr's flame, drowns in flood—yet renews. 🔥

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.

#MythologyMonday 🕸️✨
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

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.'

The goddess Venus sends her son Cupid to punish mortal Psyche for her beauty but Cupid falls for her instead, defying his mother’s command. Their tale reminds us that gods and mortals alike can suffer; when jealousy poisons the heart, only love and trust can bind & redeem — the soul.
