  15. 🍀⛅️🍀Though Fridays and the number 13 have historically been considered ominous, there's no record before the 19th century of #Friday13th being especially unlucky - it seems to be a relatively modern conjunction without a backstory, so don't worry! #FolkloreThursday #FolkyFriday #FolkloreSunday

  33. Yesterday's #wassailing.
    Led by the #Eynsham #Morris, villagers processed through the orchard banging pots and pans to scare evil spirits, and singing to wake the apple trees and encourage them to produce a good harvest.

    Spicy cider was readily available to everyone present, warmed on a roaring fire. And toast was hung in the trees - a gift for the good spirits. The birds will be pleased. 😀

    Long may this ancient #folktradition continue!

  44. Time's a-chasing and a new year is almost upon us, so here's an early call for #PhantomsFriday since you'll all probably be too bleary-eyed to even glance at a computer screen tomorrow. As always, all #ghost posts welcome, so I shall cheekily tag #WyrdWednesday and the sadly lost #FolkyFriday too!

  46. I've really enjoyed #FolkyFriday and have always tried to make at least one of my #PhantomsFriday posts tie in with each week's theme. I'm sad to see it go but congratulate the Three Ravens on their sterling work. We only have ghostlore locked down, so we need a #FolkloreFriday hero to step up!
