A drawing by Brock circa 1900 illustrating a folk tale in which an old lady riding to market early one morning sees a hare pursued by grim-looking hounds with fiery tails. The hare jumps up with imploring eyes and the woman quickly hides it in a basket. [1/2

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.

The names of Peter Christen Asbjørnsen (1812–1885) and Jørgen Engebretsen Moe (1813–1882) are in Norway nothing less than synonymous with folktales and legends. Their collection comprises the most influential work of Norwegian literature of all time. It gave Ibsen material for his metrical masterpiece, Peer Gynt (1867), which in turn inspired some of Edvard Grieg’s best-known music. It alerts readers to the prospect of riding white bears across mountain and valley – whether princess or pauper – and introduces the troll to the world at large. Knowledge of these trolls has since spread, and now permeates popular culture, from Tolkien’s high-fantasy universe, to the sewer of Stephen King’s IT (1996), and throughout modern literature and media.
I published the The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe in paperback in 2024; now I am releasing an electronic edition in fifteen volumes.

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

🦢🌩️🦢An old belief claimed that swans' eggs would only hatch during a storm - the thunder and lightning was said to crack their shells, freeing the chicks.
