The Aurora Borealis is associated with death among some Indigenous tribes.
The Skolt Sámi believed that the dead bled from their open wounds in the afterlife, creating the ribbons that danced across the sky.

Hares in folklore are sometimes considered unlucky, as they are often associated with witches.
It is especially unlucky to kill a hare before dawn. A witch could take revenge on the hunter for destroying their animal body. #BookologyThursday

The gargoyles of Notre Dame Cathedral are also called "grotesques" or chimeras. They are built to resemble monstrous human-animal hybrids. Some function as water drainage, while others are purely ornamental and contribute to the imposing atmosphere of the church. #WyrdWednesday

During Midsummer, bonfires are lit as a symbol of renewal. One custom in Denmark is to burn witch dolls made of hay. The fire would dispel their magic and cast their spirits away to the mountains. #FolkyFriday #Midsummer

Want to meet your true love?
At 12am on Midsummer Eve, run through a churchyard while spreading rose petals and chant “Rose leaves, rose leaves, rose leaves I strew, He that will love me, come after me now.”

Visitors to the fairy realm should not touch food or drink unless they want to remain a part of that world forever.
Sometimes, people are sent back home to wither away from being unable to eat anything. #BookologyThursday

As a kelpie submerges under the water of a riverbank, a clap of thunder is sure to follow. The wailing of this demon horse will warn of an approaching storm.

Witch bottles were a folk magic practice in England and the United States that involved burying bottles to counter against witchcraft. They were often prepared by a folk healer and filled with urine, pins, needles, hair, red thread, and red wine. #WyrdWednesday #Walpurgisnacht

A great way to invite fairies into your garden is to plant a ring of flowers. However, if you find a ring of mushrooms, be careful not to step into it.
Humans disappear into the fairy realm because of their own curiosity, and not because they have been tricked.

Legend of the Bleeding Heart❣️
A man fell in love with a selfish princess and bought her many gifts, but could not win her affection. Each part of the blooming flower represents one of the gifts.
Saddened by rejection, the man plunged a knife into his heart. #WyrdWednesday

Beginning in the 16th century, "Grimalkins" became associated with demons that chose to take the form of a cat. The cat must then willingly present itself to a witch in order to become their Grimalkin, or familiar.
