For two years the people of Sweden sacrificed first bulls then men to end the famine that devastated the land. On the third year, they seized their King, Domalde, and sacrificed him to the gods. The next year was prosperous. #FolkyFriday 🖼️: E. Werenskiold

Hoenir was an early leader among the Aesir, and was there when humanity was crafted: it was he who gave humanity reason and logic. He was sent to lead the Vanir after the war but was a poor leader without Mimir; so the Vanir slew Mimir, thinking Hoenir his puppet. #FolkyFriday

The Three Fates are an ancient triad in many cultures and worth researching further. In ancient Greece they are Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter), and Atropos (who cuts the thread of life). In older myths they're the daughter of Nyx, who is the Primordial Goddess of Night.

Zhuazhou (抓週) is an ancient Chinese ritual, where parents place their 1-year old on their birthday before objects: objects that symbolize the future like job choices. Essentially the infant is picking their future, in theory. #LegendaryWednesday

Japanese raccoon dogs are called Tanuki (狸). In Japanese mythology these adorable animals are tricksters who love sake more than trouble, and will go to great lengths to gain it. Many pose as priests to get it, and can be quite friendly. #WyrdWednesday 🖼: Yoshitoshi

Eight days after birth, the Fates come to a newborn and it is then and there the child's life path is determined. Their profession, their love life, their death: the Fates determine it all in this ancient Greek superstition. #LegendaryWednesday

The Starling - In Welsh folklore the Drudwen (Starling) carried a message from Branwen across the Irish Sea to her brother Bendigeidfran, the king of Britain, to inform him of her mistreatment, launching a war. It's one of my favourite stories!

The first bees were born of Ra's tears, and their honey a sacred, sweet treat. Honey was used commonly in Egyptian baking and medicine, with bees and honey appearing in hieroglyphics and jars of honey found in tombs across Egypt's history. #FairytaleTuesday

Bees are sacred to Apollo, and honey has been offered to the gods for three thousand years, since the days of Mycenae. The Oracle at Delphi was offered honey and said to be a Bee, bringing prophecy down from Apollo; apiaries were connected to the god as well. #FairyTaleTuesday

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.
