Would you willingly let go of everything you’ve ever known to start anew?
Meng Po, the Lady of Forgetfulness in Chinese #mythology, is said to wait by the Naihe Bridge, where souls must cross to their next life.
With her mysterious Meng Po Soup, she offers not nourishment, but 1/2

In #JapaneseFolklore unagi hime (eel princess) is a huge shapeshifting eel that takes the form of a beautiful woman. This #yokai lives at the bottom of deep ponds and lakes and acts as a guardian of both the lake and everything in it. Very little is known...

if this goes through, it’ll put the world’s darkest and clearest skies at risk. this needs to be relocated so we can save one of earth’s last true dark skies.

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

The moon has three prominent goddesses associated with it in Greek myth: Hekate, goddess of magic, represents the mysteries of the moon; Artemis, goddess of the hunt, represents its journey, its crescent her bow; but shining Selene is the Moon itself. #FolkloreSunday

In Qing Dynasty winter fashion, women often wore a fur stole called "披肩" on their heads for warmth and style. This accessory is described in detail in the Ming Dynasty text Zhuo Zhong Zhi (《酌中誌》, in ALT).
During this period, oil-paper and oil-cloth umbrellas were commonly used in society, 1/2

Yaoji(瑤姬), Wu Mountain's #goddess in Chinese #mythology, weaves magic with herbs and storms.
Descending from heaven, she sculpted the gorges, then chose a peak to become, leaving whispers of fairy transformations in her wake.

One of the most important Japanese myths involves the sun goddess Amatarasu. After a fight with her brother Susanoo she hides in a cave which plunges the world into darkness. Only when she is eventually coaxed out is light returned to the world.
