  1. This album feels very #FolkloreThursday psychedelic neofolk. it’s a forest you can get lost in. and there’s pictures shot with a vintage camera that go with each song. Going to paint to it for awhile @[email protected]

  2. Meet the Eastern Hercules Beetle (Dynastes tityus), the forest's gentle giant. 🪲 In Southern Lore, these majestic horned beetles are living weather barometers. When humidity rises before a storm, their olive-green shells absorb moisture & turn dark brown. #FolkLoreThursday #WitchSky

  7. I’m still falling down this rabbit hole, #folklorethursday I think these kids have made a great album to journey into

    “Gabble ratchets (or Gabriel hounds) are ghostly, phantom hounds from English folklore that fly through the night sky, bringing misfortune or death to those who hear them”

    gabble ratchets, by primitive ...

  8. The Dog Days are upon us! Named for the rising of Sirius (the Dog Star), Southern folklore warns this celestial shift brings stagnant heat, blind snakes, and wild rivers. For #FolkloreThursday, it's a reminder that when the sky burns bright, the earth below slows down.

  10. ⚔️💀VENGEFUL GHOSTS👹😇

    For #folklorethursday I thought I'd take a look at the 'vengeful ghosts' that so worried the Heian aristocracy.
    In Kyōto attempts to appease six of these ghosts would lead to the creation of two shrines and (inadvertently) the Gion Matsuri.

    This is not a good thing. There are several species of kaibyo. The nekomata is identified by its twin tails, and its proclivity of hunting and eating humans.
