Cikap-kamuy was considered a god of plenty who, importantly, made sure that rituals were being followed properly.
His central myth also established (for the Ainu) the mountain jay and crow as birds of ill omen, and the dipper as a symbol of good fortune.

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

⚔️💀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.
