During sun-showers in the South, you will hear someone say, "The Devil is beating his wife!" Some say he is angry with God for creating beautiful sunny days, & takes his anger out on her. In turn, she cries large tears / raindrops. #FaustianFriday #SouthernFolklore #WitchSky #FolkWitch

The Hākuturi are birdlike guardians of the forest from Māori mythology. In one story, they re-erected a sacred tree that Rātā had cut down to build a canoe because he failed to perform the appropriate rites, even going so far as to put every wood chip back into its proper place. #FaustianFriday

A Welsh fairy tale tells of a boy who, while skipping school, was invited by a pair of elves to come play in fairyland instead. However, after stealing one of their golden balls to give to his poor mother, the boy was exiled from fairyland forever.

A hill in Slovenia was a favorite dancing spot for fairies until the sheep of local farmers began grazing there. To protect their hill, the enraged fairies flooded the valley that surrounded it, leaving only the top of the hill (now known as Bled Island) above water.

`Connla’s well is the source of the River #Boyne, which is now known as Trinity Well. #Boann went there seeking knowledge against the will of her husband, Nechtan, who owned the well. The waters rose and carried her out to sea, where in some versions she was drowned, but in others survived although maimed.`
`The other name for the #Boyne is Sruth Segsa, “river of Segáis,” a name given to #Bóand herself in the #Otherworld. If the well were in the possession of Bóand from the start, as this implies, rather than of her husband #Nechtan, the likelihood that her drowning was not punishment but creation is heightened.`
