The Tower of London keeps ravens because of a Victorian belief that if ever the Tower is without its ravens, Britain will fall and the Crown with it. Despite only appearing in 1883, this myth may connect back to the Welsh tale of Brân the Blessed #FolkloreSunday 🖼: M. Collins

Among the first mermaids in history is Kulullû, half-man, half-fish, from Mesopotamia. Victorian archeologists wrongfully stated he was the agriculture god Dagon, leading writers like H.P. Lovecraft to wrongfully make Dagon a fish man. But is Kulullû Cthulhu? #FolkloreSunday

When we think of fairies today, wings immediately come to mind, but this was not always the case: in folklore itself, fairies rarely need wings to fly, instead using magic. It was not until Victorian artists gave them wings that fairies grew wings. #FolkloreSunday 🖼️: G.A. Kay

🌺📜🌺Floriography - the language of flowers - was popular in the Victorian era. "I am thinking of you" was conveyed by a gift of Pansies, whose name derives from the French pensée (thought). #FolkloreSunday
