It's firefly time in Bellingen

* "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>

* Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.

* Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution

'The Fairy Dance' by Karl Diefenbach, 1893.

Fairies of Northern Appalachia is OUT NOW!

I’m so excited to say that “Fairies of Northern Appalachia: A History of the Little People of the Mountains” is out everywhere now.

The book collects old and new folklore from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Ohio, Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and western Maryland. It features Pennsylvania Dutch, Scots Irish, Irish, and Cornish traditions, among others.

Here you’ll find stories about banshees, tommyknockers, gnomes, mountain dwarves, household spirits, wassernixen, fairy queens, fairy witches, Appalachian pygmies, and arrow-shooting elves.

The painting on the cover is “The Fairy Favourite” by John Anster Fitzgerald, which I thought perfectly captured the strangeness and diversity of Appalachian fairies. The carving on the back cover is by artist Joan Reed.

You can find it at your local bookstore or at Amazon. The book is also available in a beautiful hardcover (see below).

In Dungeons & Dragons, fairies are presented as beings of the Feywild, a mirror realm of the Material Plane where emotion, intent, and symbolism shape reality more strongly than physical law. #dandd #fairies https://fairyland.blog/post/806883387455553536/fairies-in-dungeons-dragons

I have a question on #fairylore and #changelings for a #folklorist. Anybody?

Ava Gardner stars in The Ballad of Tam Lin (1970), Roddy McDowall’s only film as a director. An odd but interesting and ambiguous folk horror movie inspired by a Scottish folk tale about a love triangle involving the queen of the fairies.

My review: https://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2024/02/the-ballad-of-tam-lin-1970.html
