  1. Found this masterpiece in my archive. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the artist is. The artwork is titled Vužalki (Вужалкі), 2004.

    In Belarusian #mythology Vužalki are the daughters of the #Natrix King (The King of #Snakes). Naked, adorned with abundant gold jewelry, which they sometimes lose. Harmless to humans. Always surrounded by snake guardians.

    Photo taken in Zaslaŭje, #Belarus, in 2014.

  6. Sometimes she has two tails, or a fishtail or wings. There are different versions of her name and various stories are found in different regions especially France, Luxembourg and the Low Countries. I first learned of her from Manuel Mujica Láinez’s The Wandering Unicorn, which tells her story through the centuries. Her story also appears in A.S. Byatt’s Possession amongst many other places from operas to video games. 🧵2/2

  11. First up: NOT Monet.
    It’s Mélusine.

    I know, I said Monet.
    Where the money?

    …I’ll see myself out.

  14. Mélusine for #MerMay!

    This hand-printed Art Deco-inspired lino block print illustrates Mélusine at her bath, spied through a keyhole. Mélusine was the legendary half-fairy ancestor of the House of Lusignan and royals including the Plantagenets, whose lower half became a serpent when she bathed. She married a nobleman but insisted he must never observe her in the bath; of course he did, and she left him. 🧵

  19. It's #MerMay and therefore we have a special #FannyFriday with a two-tailed mermaid with a human fanny between them. This copper cut depicts #Mélusine, a water spirit from European #folklore. She marries a human man under the condition that he never see her on Saturdays. Her husband keeps his oath for many years and she gives him children, wealth, land, and power. Goaded by his family, her husband eventually does peek into her chamber, where he sees Melusine bathing in her fish-tailed form.

  33. #Melusine orchestrated a raid on her father’s castle, confining him and all his attendants inside a magical mountain. Her mother Pressina wasn`t happy at this vengeful action. Instead, the descendant of serpents cursed Melusine to become a snake for part of every Sunday.
