At the spring equinox, Teotihuacán swells with visitors, coming to seek the old Aztec gods for health and vitality. This is an attempt to honor indigenous ancestors and their astronomical prowess: many buildings line up with the equinox exactly. #LegendaryWednesday

Loughcrew Cairns' T-cairn lines up with the spring equinox, much as Newgrange at Bru na Boinne lines up with the winter solstice. Many suggest the Irish may have had a spring equinox festival, potentially informing the timing of St. Patrick's Day #LegendaryWednesday 📷: R. Hurson

Beware as her icy gaze can be deadly and she will suck the life force out of you and leave you to die in the snow. #LegendaryWednesday #JapaneseFolklore 🎨Shigeru Mizuki

In #JapaneseFolklore kamikakushi is the concept of being spirited away by the kami, or gods. Sometimes when people disappeared it was blamed on evil #yokai who may have taken the person to the spirit world. The Ghibli film Spirited Away is based on this concept. #LegendaryWednesday

There is a very bizarre tale from #JapaneseFolklore about todaiki, which is when a sorcerer used dark magic to transform their enemy into a human candle in order to keep them trapped, unable to either move or speak. #LegendaryWednesday #yokai

A vengeful troll once gave a letter to a traveler and asked him to deliver it to Kund. Inside the envelope was enough water to flood that village, but because it unfolded before reaching its destination, the water that spilled out instead formed Tiis Lake. #LegendaryWednesday
