In Irish folklore, the Púca is a legendary shapeshifter known to haunt rural areas. Often appearing as a sleek black horse with golden eyes, this spirit is a mischievous figure rather than a violent one, sometimes even helping with the harvest in #Ireland. Explore the rich tradition of these supernatural beings on Vicipéid. #Folkore #Mytology

In the traditional calendar the 10th month is known as 'Kannazuki' (神無月), which nowadays has come mean 'Month Without Gods'.
Because the gods are said to gather at Izumo-taisha, in Izumo Province the 10th month was called 'Kamiarizuki' (神有月 'Month With Gods').

St Bartholomew's Hospital in the City of London once had an especially spooky lift. At night, whatever number floor the passenger pressed, it would always take them down to the basement. There it would stand in the dark, refusing to move, no matter which buttons were pushed. The passenger would have to get out and start the long climb up the stairs to whichever floor they required. The lift would then whirr into motion and follow its ex-passenger as they trudged up the staircase. The hospital folklore blamed this on the fact a nurse had once been murdered by a patient in the basement. However, there is no record of any such crime. This story was probably created in an attempt to explain the lift's weird behaviour. #gothic #ghosts #paranormal #folkore #weird #London #history

In the Irish folktale of The Wonderful Tune, Maurice Connor's fiddle playing was so sublime that it caught the attention of a woman from the sea. Upon finding the music's source, she immediately proposed marriage to the fiddler, offering to make him King of Fish. #WyrdWednesday

Ambiguities in the #ADnD #psionics rules can give new twists to some old witchcraft #folkore, too.

Why does witchcraft run in families? Because psionics is a heritable trait. (The rules don't say it isn't!)

Why do witches steal babies? They're recruiting psionic kids for their cult. (The rules don't set a minimum age for when psionics activate, so the DM can totally put scary psionic babies in the game!)

Titania has some friends in the Norse supernatural world who might not be aware of #YureiHouse clothing so I made a series of AI ads to boost our European market.
Have a lovely supernatural day 😃😃😃❤️👻🩲

Continuing on the theme of other worlds, I highly recommend Franz Schubert's Erlkönig, which draws on a poem of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

This version includes an English translation and an animation of the action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf0

[CW: the song references a child's death]

#OldEnglish #WordOfTheDay

bealosíþ [ ᛒᛖᚪᛚᚩᛋᛁᚦ ] : a journey / to travel / make your way through a period of evil / calamity; A destructive or deadly path, travelling the journey to death.

bealo: baleful ; deadly ; dangerous ; wicked ; evil

síþ: time, going on a journey, to be late

Like a lot of Old English words, it is hard to break it down to a simple set of words in English. We have to look at the word through the eyes of a storyteller; there is a literal definition, but also a metaphorical definition.

The journey is also time, the travelling is our life moving forward. The evil are the wretched things that happen during this journey, those things that befall us that are out of our control.

Bealosíþ is a concept, it is those times in our life that we must travel trough that is filled with evil and calamity.

It can also describe the grim march to death, that lingering dark path.

The state of bealosíþ is part of the wyrd and could be cause by entities, curses, gods, or those that just want to do us harm. It is those darkest of times that surround us all.

#GothicAdvent Day 7:
The darkness grows longer by the day, the sunlight shrinks by the hour — we slip deeper into the fallow season by the moment. Listen closely my friends, hear the whispers of those melancholic old songs that still tickle the backs of our minds. In the deepest recesses they declare, “Beware, for The Nobody may pay you a visit. He comes on frosty nights from the Somewhen and depending on his whim he may whisper good or evil in your ear.”

Neither candle nor warmth will appease him,
Or so the old people sing,
A law unto himself is the call to the night,
He’s a fickle and complex thing.

The best we can do on nights like these,
Is to wish the sweetest of dreams,
Upon our loved ones and hope that he leaves,
Us out of his twilight schemes.

God bless and say your prayers b’fore sleep,
Kiss the cheeks and foreheads too,
And hope that the Nobody stays away tonight,
Just beg he’s not coming for you!

Here is my latest #podcast; join me as I explore the #gods and #goddesses of the #bible -- I start with the premise the Yahweh himself says: “…for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”, is what he said, he did not say he was the only god.

Not only were there other gods, but we also explore the #divine #feminine, #Asherah -- The Goddess of all Creation
