According to ancient Hindu, the #moon changed shape because it was really a liquid. A drink that only the gods could consume. As they drank, the moon shrank. Until it was refilled to drink again. Over time, the moon became known as 'Chandra,' shining & glittery. #FolkloreThursday

#FolkloreThursday Klytie fell in love with the sun god Apollo, watching every day as his chariot crossed the sky. Apollo could not come any closer or he would destroy her, but he saw her watching and when she died, he turned her into a sunflower so she could watch him for always.

According to sky-lore, The Demon Star, or Algol (derived from raʾs al-ghul, Arabic for the demon's head), is an unlucky three-star system associated with misfortune & death. Within the Perseus constellation it represents the head of Medusa.

Some weather and sky related lore in this Morayshire rhyme:

Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the sea,
Good weather it will be:
Wild geese, wild geese, ganging to the hill,
The weather it will spill.
