Happy October! Spooky season is here!
I've always wanted to have tea with a faun.
Some may cringe at the practical effects in the 1988 BBC version of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," but to me they're part of the whimsy.
If you could have tea with any magical creature, who would it be?

#Centaur facts: Centaurs began to disappear from retellings of myths beginning in the 6th century CE. However, in the middle ages, centaurs began appearing in imagery in Christian churches, where they were associated with bestial desires or even the devil hunting for human souls. #centaursunday

The ancient Greeks inherited the constellation Sagittarius from Babylonian and Sumerian astronomy, where it already existed as a prominent figure in the zodiac. "Sagittarius" comes from Latin (via Roman adoption) and means "archer," commonly represented by a centaur drawing a bow.

#centaur origin story: Ixion rudely lusted after Hera and was tricked into seducing a copy of her made of clouds instead. Ixion was punished for his assault and violation of xenia (hospitality code), bound to a spinning, fiery wheel for eternity. The offspring of Ixion and cloud-Hera is Centaurus.

Some earlier depictions of centaurs from the Greek Geometric Period (900-700 BCE) have human legs in front and horse hindquarters behind, but by the Archaic Period (800-480 BCE), artists standardized centaurs as we imagine them today.

The centaur as we know it – horse body, human head and torso – was conceptualized by the Ancient Greeks. The human half often represents civility, while the horse half represents animal instinct and uncontrollable desire.
