Friday the 13th merely inherited the myth.
Shadows don’t equal misfortune. 🐈⬛✨

White guards dreams.
From altar bloom to velvet box —
desire, still blooming. 💘🍫

The owl soars as a symbol of piercing wisdom and veiled secrets in Roman lore. Sacred to Minerva (Roman counterpart to Greek Athena), goddess of wisdom, strategy, justice, victory, commerce, weaving, and protector of artisans, the owl—known as the Owl of Minerva or Owl of Pallas.

The Meaning: The juxtaposition of the serious, devotional text about the necessity of God's involvement in human endeavors with the absurd, satirical image of animals in clerical roles is typical of medieval humor.

Old Polish legend: A mother cat wept as her kittens drowned chasing butterflies.
Kind willows dipped their branches, saving the tiny paws that clung tight.
Ever since, each spring pussy willows bloom with soft, fuzzy 'catkin' buds where those kittens gripped!

There once was a fairy so spry,
With wings like a butterfly high.
She flitted through glades,
In flower-strewn shades,
Carrying souls to the sky.
In meadows where moonlight would gleam,
She'd whisper of transformation's dream.
A flutter bug supreme!

Primroses, those gentle golden heralds of #Spring, spin a luminous web of lore around rebirth & regrowth. In British tradition, the pale "first roses" unlock fairy realms. 🧚♀️
Welsh healers steeped petals into warming teas to chase away chills and restore vigor. #PrimroseTea 🌼

The Muckle Mester Stoorworm, darkest dragon in all folklore — yawns the Baltic Sea into being, scatters teeth as Orkney & Faroe isles. Its liver crashes as burning Héla volcano; one breath poisons half Scotland. Once slain, its blood clots into peat that still burns today

In Bedrock, prehistory never quite ends—dinosaurs linger as loyal pets, tails wagging like dogs across the aeons.
Dino the Snorkasaurus bounds with pure joyful chaos, while Hoppy the Hopparoo (kangaroo-dino hybrid?) leaps in to save the day.
