A bit of fun for a Friday... Last week we went to #AbbotsBromley, #Staffordshire, to witness the extraordinary & ancient #HornDance, a #FolkDance that has taken place for perhaps 800+ years. I've wanted to see this for years!
One of the reindeer antlers has been radio carbon dated to 1065CE.

According to Japanese folklore, tornadoes and waterspouts are caused by tatsu (dragons that controls rain and water) winding their way up to the sky. This is why the Japanese word for tornado is "tatsumaki," which can translate to "spinning dragon" or "dragon-roll." #FolkyFriday

Odin discovers the Runes
I know that I hung,
on a windy tree,
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear,
dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree,
of which no man knows
from where its roots run.
