Some of Viking Runic graffiti discovered at the Maeshowe Mound in Orkney reads “Thorni fucked Helgi carved” and “Ingigerth is the most beautiful of all women" (this is carved beside a picture of an ugly dog)
#FolkloreThursday • St Stephen's Day in Wales 🌿
St Stephen's Day (Boxing Day) saw the custom of 'Holming.' This was the act of beating a person with Holly..
The last person to awake on this day would be beaten with branches of Holly and named 'Tapster.'
