The production of beef has a huge carbon footprint.
However, you can reduce it drastically if you eat the same cow more than once!

A count of Oldenburg once stole a marvelous drinking horn from a queen of the dwarves.
When his line died out, it was taken by the Danish crown in turn.

The unsettling part isn't the granite skin or the mica eyes. It's that it already knows why you're there before you've said it out loud. Travelers passing through get a warning. People actively harming the mountain get something closer to a verdict — and only one chance to walk it back. Do you take that chance for the better option, or do you risk it?

Rahu, an Indian demon, illicitly swallowed the nectar of immortality. The moon and sun saw him and told the gods so Vishnu decapitated Rahu with his discus. The severed head ascended to the heavens, where it chases these celestial orbs in anger, sometimes catching and eating them, thereby causing eclipses. However, as the head has no body attached to swallow the luminaries, the sun and moon soon reappear. Rahu is also sometimes considered an invisible planet. This planet has a maleficent influence, being associated with deceit, corruption, hedonism, swindlers, jokers and criminals. #wyrdwednesday #folklore #mythology #history #eclipse #religion

Il mistero della Monchella del Teatro Massimo di Palermo
I palermitani la chiamano "a Munachiedda" (la Monachella), la piccola suora il cui spirito, secondo la leggenda, infesta i corridoi del Teatro Massimo di Palermo, da quando la sua tomba fu profanata durante la demolizione dell'antico convento su cui oggi sorge il maestoso edificio.
E se per costruire il Teatro ci vollero 23 anni e per altri 23 rimase chiuso e abbandonato... beh, per i palermitani non è certo un caso.

La Leggenda dei Diavoli del Duomo di Monreale
Sapevate che sotto il Duomo di Monreale si nasconderebbe un tesoro maledetto?
Molti conoscono i maestosi mosaici bizantini dorati di questo capolavoro normanno, ma pochi fanno caso ai veri "guardiani" del luogo: i Diavoli del Chiostro.
Scolpiti nel XII secolo, la leggenda narra che queste creature di pietra si animino nelle notti di luna piena per proteggere l'oro di Re Guglielmo II, facendo fuggire a gambe levate chiunque osi cercarlo.

It never ceases to fascinate me that, in some folk tales, "Venetians" are treated as entities similar to dwarves and other sprits.

#WritersCoffeeClub 11 Aug—When were you last a student?
Still am - I am currently taking evening classes for #Italian .
Part of my motivation is to learn more about the connections of #Venice to #mining as background research for my future book on the ultraterrestrial #Venetians from German #folklore .
(And if anyone knows of some useful books on this topic, I would greatly appreciate it!)

Leviathan is a Biblical sea monster which can represent chaos, the material world or the Hebrews' Babylonian enemy. In Gnosticism, it encircles those too attached to material things, blocking them from spiritual fulfilment. The creature may originate in the primeval Canaanite monster Lotan, which was defeated by the storm god Baal Hadad. Thomas Hobbes used Leviathan as a symbol of the state, which - though oppressive - justifies itself by containing people's worst instincts. The artwork below is an engraving by Gustave Dore, entitled 'The Destruction of Leviathan' (1865). #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #mythology #history #gothic #weird #art #arthistory #philosophy #monster
