Protecting sheep from the fox 🦊
In Swedish folklore to protect your sheep from the fox when you let them. Let them all drink water from a fox's skull. After that you should let the animals walk through a horse harness held by the lady of the house, and then under her legs into the field.

Been doing some water planting today, my mom and I have agreed to try to make her garden into a wildflower field to try and help the biodiversity in the area. We've chosen cultural and native plants!

Mittens made as a craft exchange!It's my first time working with a fur cuff but I'm very happy with the outcome. The fur is as ethical as it can be. Let's hope these make it across the ocean without disappearing.

Another folk look, later 19th century Scanian. The jacket is based on an existing jacket but I've made some changes.

De underjordiska ⛰️
•
There are many different folklore creatures in Sweden connected to the name "underjordiska". Vittra, jordfolk etc. They are often described as looking like normal humans, some pretty and some ugly. Because of their human look usually they blend in with everyone else.

-Højerup old church-
A church on the Danish Coast slowly being eaten by the sea as the waves eat away at the coastline. Built first in the 13th century but active up until the 1910s
