Reindeer apparently love and actively seek out fly agaric mushrooms/Amanita muscaria. There are many stories of humans drinking the urin of reindeer who had feasted on these shrooms as the reindeer's kidneys/liver filter out the toxins but not the psychedelic properties 🖤🌀🍄 #whistpr 1/2

'Fashionable Cats Juggling Balls' by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (ca. 1841) is a single panel of a diptych print from a series titled 'Popular Plays Acted by Cats' which portrayed actors of the time as cats in order to circumvent the ban on depictions of actors. #Caturday #ukiyoe #JapaneseArt

The 7th Chapter "canvases James's long-standing interest in parapsychology, including his interactions with allies like Frederick Myers and critics...Sommer shows that surprisingly, many of these criticisms were based on religious or political considerations rather than on purely scientific ones."

Summer comes to the forest as green riot. A shouting of spirited voices each with unfolding delight on its lips. A thousand acts of solar alchemy, moments of awe. Those who talk of magic only as a shadowed thing forget the power of days when it surrounds you in its wild glory. – #EmilyCBanting

Happy #WorldLabyrinthDay. This labyrinth in London SE23 has been around since 2012. The demarcations were originally made from sticks and stones, and in later years turned to moss and grass 🌿🐾🌀

If you are lucky enough to be approached by a fox and are given an egg, keep it safe. This is a huge honour, a great gift. This may also be the right moment to whisper your own momentous news or secrets to them, which they will pass on to the matriarch of the fox clan who will hold them safely 🦊🌀🌘
