November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

The wooden bestiaries of England's churches offer a library of carved folklore. Here a giant wyrm or ghost bear to keep you company as you pray. There a manticore, flown from far Persia, to growl at tedious homilies. – John Betjeman, The English Alphabet , BBC Two, 1972 #Folklore

Das Grundgesetz verkommt zur Folklore, „Nie wieder“ zu einer Floskel auf Gedenkreden.

Church Preen Church is Norman in origin and was founded by Cluniac monks. Its ancient yew, dating to around 457 AD, was once described as being one of England's noblest. Yew trees symbolize death, rebirth, and protection. In Shropshire, they had healing properties and were guardians.

In Chinese #folklore, as recorded in Yijian Xu Zhi, banana trees are anything but harmless. If left undisturbed for 50 years, they risk becoming bajiao gui(芭蕉鬼), that is, Banana Tree Ghosts. But the true terror lies in their sensitivity to blood. 1/2
