'And Arthur rowed across and took it--rich
With jewels, elfin Urim, on the hilt,
Bewildering heart and eye--the blade so bright
That men are blinded by it...'

FAIRY RINGS are a reminder of just how magical #autumn is but upon entering an elf ring or sorcerer's circle of mushrooms you may become invisible and be made to dance until you die of exhaustion! #FolkloreSunday

Grýla is a troll-like crone who lives in the Icelandic wilderness. Although she dates back to medieval times, she most recently appeared as a Christmas Witch in the 2024 film Red One ❤️🎄

In 1283, Alphonso X of Castile commissioned the Libro de los Juegos (Book of Games); a treatise on the games of chess, dice and tables (early backgammon) based on Arabic works. Regarded as "the greatest source of information on board games ever compiled during the Middle Ages." #FolkloreThursday

When the Egyptian folk hero Setne broke into the tomb of Prince Naneferkaptah to steal a magic book, the prince's mummy challenged him to senet, an old Egyptian board game. The more Setne lost the game, the more the floor enveloped him. However, he used magic amulets to break free.

Did Celtic Druids burn criminals in wicker effigies for luck? Julius Caesar’s tales suggest so, but scholars warn it might be propaganda to demonize foes. 😈

In rural Europe, household spirits like the domovoi and kobold once expected small offerings of bread, beer, or a drop of blood from a butchered animal. A neglected spirit could wreak havoc in the dark hours. #FolkyFriday

So many writers have been gardeners and have written about gardens that it might be easier to make a list of those who didn’t. But even in this crowded company, Emily Dickinson stands out.

"Away, away! to thy sad and silent home;
Pour bitter tears on its desolated hearth;
Watch the dim shades as like ghosts they go and come,
And complicate strange webs of melancholy mirth."

🕯️ "ANDAD DE DÍA, QUE LA NOCHE ES MÍA"
El folclore de España está lleno de procesiones de muertos, siendo la más famosa la "Santa compaña". Pero, ¿sabéis cuál es el lejano y curioso origen de este mito? ¿O cómo se protegía la gente ante él?

Redcap is a murderous Goblin that lives in ruined castles along the Anglo-Scottish Borders, soaking its hat in the blood of its victims, giving it that distinctive hue.
