Grýla is an ogress that likes to eat mischievous children. Lives in a cave in Iceland’s hinterlands, the matriarch of a family of strange creatures, launching attacks on nearby townships, she turns the children into a stew and is connected to Yule. #FolkloreSunday #mythology #folklore

The Cailleach, a mythical figure in Celtic folklore, a divine hag, embodies winter's power and wisdom , shaping the landscape with icy winds and snow. She reigns over the season's magic. #LegendaryWednesday #mythology #folklore

Nyx was the primordial Goddess of Night. Not a lot was written about her but she was so powerful that even Zeus was frightened of her #wyrdwednesday #mythology #folklore

At Yule, the veil between this world and the dead is very thin, like Samhain. In some parts of the world people would leave out food and places to sleep as their dead relatives may come and pay a visit. #fairytaletuesday #folklore #christmas #Yule #mythology

Apples have along history. They were used in various areas in folk magick. They were used for healing. It was believed if you cut the apple and held it by the afflicted area then then the ailment would transfer into the apple. This was then buried. #mythologymonday #folklore #mythology

Young girls, eager to glimpse their future husband, once nibbled an apple 🍎 at midnight. In solitude, with a lone candle casting shadows, they peered into a mirror. It was believed that the face of their destined man would materialize. #MythologyMonday #folklore #mythology

The Goddess of Discord Eris started the Trojan war by rolling a golden apple with with word Kallisti (to the fairest) in front of three Goddesses. All because she was not invited to a party. I strive to be that level of petty 🤣 #mythologymonday #mythology #folklore

In fairy lore, time is an exciting thing. In many cases with fairies, going into the world of the fairies or the otherworld can affect time. Time can stay still in the fairy realm, and years can pass in the world or the reverse. #WyrdWednesday #folklore #mythology

It is prevalent to see fairies put into two categories of: Seelie and Unseelie court. This has become a pop culture thing and in some fiction. However, in folklore, it only applies to Scottish fairy lore, where courts exist. #LegendaryWednesday #mythology #folklore

The story of the Snow Queen, a character in Hans Christian Andersen's tale. Kidnapping Kai, she adds a frosty twist to the journey of his friend, Gerda.

Jörmungandr is an unfathomably large sea serpent or worm who dwells in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard) and biting his own tail, an example of an ouroboros. As a result of it surrounding Midgard (the Earth) it is referred to as the World Serpent. #mythologymonday #folklore #mythology

Hestia was the Greek Goddess of the Hearth, home and hospitality. She was a virgin goddess. Not much is known about her, but she was worshipped in every household and offerings were given before and after a meal. She stayed out of drama and was never involved in any atrocities in Greek mythology. She gave up her seat with the Olympians so Dionysus could have a seat. #FolkloreSunday #folklore #greekmythology

Seshat was the Egyptian Goddess of writing, wisdom and knowledge. She was either portrayed as one of the wives of the God Thoth or possibly his daughter. It was believed that there were no temples to her, but she played a very important role as her name means “female scribe”.

She also became identified as the goddess of sciences, accounting, architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, and surveying. #egyptology #mythology #folklore

I am thinking about starting a video game “book club” on mastodon. I am part of one now and it’s a lot of fun. I am not sure what it would look like at the moment but I am thinking starting January as January tends to be a pretty miserable month 🤣 Could be a lot of fun, plus also a great way to get through a back log 🤣🤣

It would also be a great way to play some games people have not heard off or would not think of playing etc. #videogames #gaming #rpg #retrogaming
