#FairytaleTuesday 1. Old England, the 12th Night marked the end of a winter festival that started on Samhain, Oct. 31st. The Lord of Misrule symbolizes the world turning upside down in a cold winter. In the middle ages, the Night began on Dec. 25th eve moving forward 12 days
Nisse are nordic fairies that resemble tiny, often bearded, people. They live on farms, acting as their secret guardians. They are also linked to the Winter Solstice and Christmas. In Scandinavia, a nisse often helps the Yule Goat to deliver Christmas presents. #FairyTaleTuesday
each year, the people of Catalonia celebrate “the Day of Books and Roses,” a nationwide celebration of literature in which lovers exchange books and the streets are thronged with dancers and book-sellers, and honestly, we could use a holiday like that.
In many parts of Scandinavia, the traditional Christmas gift giver is the Yule Goat. Sometimes depicted as human sized and at other times as a goat with a Nisse/Tomte leading it along. Art by Bauer @FairyTale_Tues #fairytaletuesday
The Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a huge cat in Icelandic folklore, that roams around the countryside at Yuletide. The Yule Cat looks for people who are not nicely dressed in new clothes for the festivities, and swallows them whole. #FairyTaleTuesday Art by @Iren_Horrors
A legend tells of the ivy's endeavours to make the Earth beautiful, covering bare patches of ground and adorning trees with her shiny green leaves, and producing flowers to feed insects in cold weather. As thanks the nature spirits decreed the ivy would be 'ever-green'. #folklore
13th December is St. Lucia's Day. In Scandinavia girls wore white dresses and candle wreaths carrying special cakes as they processed. But on this night, the Wild Hunt would also be out, and if it was heard, a cake had to be thrown to appease the spirits... #FairyTaleTuesday
In the winter’s tale "The Crescent Moon Bear”, a woman climbs a snowy mountain to get one of the bear’s white hairs to heal her husband. As she climbs, she says to the mountain "Arigato zaisho," a way to say: "Thank you for letting me climb upon your body." #FairytaleTuesday
In Celtic folklore, the Cait Sidhe was a creature known to capture the souls of the newly deceased before they traveled to the Afterlife. To help their loved ones avoid these creatures, mourners strategically spread catnip around to distract these spirits #FairytaleTuesday
'And there stood the oak, stripped of all its leaves, left to rest during the whole of a long winter, and to dream many dreams of events that had happened, just as men dream.' Hans Christian Anderson. #FairyTaleTuesday gutenberg.org/cache/epub/325…
In the Slovak tale "The Twelve Months," a girl is sent out in a blizzard to find violets, strawberries, & apples for her stepsister's birthday. Luckily she meets the twelve spirits of the months. March gives her violets, June strawberries, & September apples. #FairyTaleTuesday
In "The Magic Horse," while being chased by a demon, a girl throws away her comb & red handkerchief, which turn into obstacles for the demon: the first becomes a forest & the second a flame. To throw away objects is to lose rigidity so "to slip out from under." #FairyTaleTuesday
A Grimm’s fairytale tells of a magical purple flower containing a precious pearl that has the power to break enchantments. The shepherd boy Jorindel goes on a quest to find the flower when a wicked fairy transforms his bride-to-be, Jorinda, into a nightingale. #FairytaleTuesday
According to Polish legend, a cat was crying as her kittens fell into the river chasing butterflies and a sympathetic willow tree rescued the drowning kittens with its long branches. Each Spring the willow sprouts catkins where the kittens clung to its branches #FairytaleTuesday
“We are all, whether we realize it or not, constantly engaged in the process of mythmaking in an attempt to understand the inexplicable.” goo.gl/alerts/xfAVTp #GoogleAlerts
On 8 March 1939, J. R. R. Tolkien delivered a lecture at the University of St. Andrews, which was published as essay "On Fairy Stories", in which he argued that fairy tales are not just for children, describing what it means to enter this realm. 🧵1/8 🎨: J.R.R. #Tolkien
A collaboration with Durham University's Professor of Anthropology, Jamie Tehrani, and actress Kara Tointon, a new storytelling app that censors 'inappropriate' fairytales, adapting classic fables in an attempt to abolish 'old-fashioned stereotypes'. lbc.co.uk/news/actress-k…
Mention fairy tale tellers, and the first name to come to mind is the Grimm brothers. Next is likely to be Hans Christian Anderson. Notice anything? Yep. They’re all men. Yet there have been many wonderful fairytales originally told by women ... kateforsyth.com.au/articles/the-f…
