It's #FolkloreFriday 🐱 The cat in Celtic mythology was a threshold creature — moving between worlds, watching things no one else could see, belonging to the Otherworld in ways that sitting by a human fire never quite changed. The Cath Palug of Welsh legend began as a kitten and became something that required a hero to face. The folklore was never surprised by any of this.

The lake maidens of Welsh folklore didn't stay because they were asked. They came under their own terms, loved on their own terms, and left the same way. The water always called them back eventually. And it was never a tragedy to them. 🌊

Many are the tales and characteristics of Brigid, called Brigantia across the Celtic world but in the Irish form grew beyond Ireland to become something more. As St. Brigid she is worshiped by Catholics worldwide; as Maman Brigitte, she is the Voudon loa of death. #FolkloreFriday
Artists:
1.) Molly Brewer, showing the many-faced Irish goddess
2.) Unknown artist, traditional Catholic iconography
3.) Gracjana Zielinska, showing Maman Brigitte and her cock and rumMore details on each form in the alt description!

Black cats with white spots on their chest are known to the Scottish as Fairy Cats, cat-sith, huge as a dog with an attitude to match. Prone to stealing souls, on Samhain if given a saucer of milk they offer blessings, and a curse without. #FolkloreFriday

Le deuxième lutin débarque ce matin. Giljagaur, dit Ravineur (ou Grand dadais du caniveau), se cache dans les ravins et guette le bon moment pour entrer dans les étables et voler la crème de lait. Il repartira rejoindre son frangin le 26 décembre.

Zapomniałem napomknąć, że aktualnie książką nie zajmuję się ja, ale mój tata, który przyjął na siebie zadanie złożenia jej. Nie mogę się doczekać efektów.

Here's a fun Hungarian folktale about the origin of #mushrooms:
When Jesus and St. Peter walked the earth Jesus sent Peter to a house to ask for some flat bread. Peter took an extra piece and hid it in his pocket. As they walked on he kept nibbling in secret, walking behind Jesus.
However, every time he took a bite, Jesus asked a question, and Peter had to spit out the bread to answer.
From the spat-out bites the first mushrooms sprouted along the road 🍄 -
So, by no power invested in me whatsoever, I declare this week's #FolkloreFriday theme to be mushrooms, in honor of #FungiFriday

#FolktaleMoment
One of my favorite beer #Folktales from Estonia:Sparrow wants to make beer, roasts 1 grain of barley and drops it into a pond. He offers animals a drink from his beer pond.
The mouse and the dog pretend it's beer because they don't want to disappoint the sparrow.
The cat pretends it's beer hoping to eat the sparrow. The horse tells the sparrow the truth, but still drinks.The sparrow decides to use two grains next year. 🍺

I have no official capacity to do this, but I'm declaring this week's #FolkloreFriday theme DRINKS, because it's also #InternationalBeerDay. 🤷♀️🍻🍾🍹🧋☕️🥛🫖🫗🧃

Do we have actual #FolkloreFriday on here (like, with themes and everything) or is it just the hashtag?...

What I am learning is that the most off-the-wall music suggestions bring me the best ideas 😄 Keep them coming!

áttorsceaða [ ᚪᛏᛏᚩᚱᛋᚳᛖᚪᚪ ]: venom-enemy / A poisonous destroyer; a venomous dragon
áttor (áttres/áttru): poison / venom
sceaða: scathe / harm / cause injury /a spiritual enemy / a fiend
Pronunciation: https://files-thefolklore-cafe.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/attachments/attorsceatha.m4a
The great áttorsceaða -- a deadly and venom-destroyer/enemy. A monster, like a dragon, who spreads poison where-ever it goes. This creation is a great wyrm (worm) or serpent. Deadly and fearsome; it lives in those dark and lonely places, marshes and swamps and destroys all living things.

A tidbit I just came across, for #FolkloreFriday
In parts of Transylvania it used to be a habit to chew pine resin (as if it was chewing gum). People did it for fun, or to clean their teeth, or to gather saliva for spinning thread.
Apparently, young men gifted pre-chewed resin to the girls they fancied. If the girl accepted the gift, it meant she liked the guy.
In case you needed gift ideas for #ValentinesDay... 😄

Apparently rights of way have their origins in corpse paths (routes to burying places)
