'The #Flower Maiden' by Annie French (1872-1965), Scottish painter, engraver, illustrator and designer associated with the Glasgow School of Art #WomensArt #April #Spring
Welsh folklore tells us that May Day Eve is one of three spirit nights (ysbrydnos) when the supernatural may be encountered. Like Halloween, ghosts are abroad, and the best form of protection is to huddle around a bonfire. Stay safe out there... #MayDay #Wales #FairytaleTuesday

'Dancing Frogs Under Full Moon' - Tokuriki Tomikichiro, ca. 1950s. #MythologyMonday #ukiyoe #JapaneseArt
In East Slavic folklore, rusalkas love chain dances. One can see them dancing in the woods or in the fields, dressed in white with flower-crowns on their heads… but it never ends well. #mythologymonday #dailyspooklore #folklore #dontgointothewoods Image: I. Kramskoy
‘Her gift with wild birds allowed her to bring them to her merely by lifting her hand. From a distance, when she ran so fast she was nearly flying, it seemed as if she spoke their language, & was meant for their world more than her own.’ —Alice Hoffman 🐦⬛

'Then, enraptured, you shall hear Secrets for a poet's ear. Mortal, mortal, come with me, When the moon is rising large, Through the wood or from the sea, Or by some lone river marge.' ~Bliss Carman 'Harmony in the Light of the Moon' by Sarah Stilwell Weber #FolkloreSunday
'I shall gather myself into myself again, I shall take my scattered selves and make them one, Fusing them into a polished crystal ball Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.' ~Sara Teasdale 🎨Alice Pike Barney #BookWormSat
Detail, 'Scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream' by John Simmons #FolkyFriday
Lady Wilde wrote that fairies were fallen angels yet too good for Hell. Many of them found remote places to live. In Cornwall, they shrank to the size of muryans (ants), then vanished. No one knew what became of them but knew it unlucky to kill an ant... #FolkloreThursday

#MythologyMonday @MythologyMonday; In Japanese myth, Ame-no-Uzume lured the sun goddess Amaterasu out from a cave by humorously dancing naked. Out of curiosity of what everyone was laughing at, Amaterasu came out of hiding. It's believed this is what inspired Shinto kagura.
According to folklore, fairies love dancing and fairy dances are known as a primary way in which humans are lured into Fairyland. Fairy music and dancing is so bewitching that any mortals who participate, will completely lose their sense of time and place. #MythologyMonday
