In 1205, St Francis of Assisi left the home of his father, a rich merchant. He went to live a new life as an ascetic. In a dramatic scene, he cast off all his clothes, and broke away from his father's authority. #ThursdayTrails.

Friends, I’m struggling with the algorithm here and wrote this naturey thing I’d love to see out there. I’d be very grateful for your help. 🌊

I’ve been a bit absent here because I’ve been working really hard on folkloric fantasy books teeming with nature (see @ABeaumontWriter), but I’m slowly returning.

I saw a beautiful fox yesterday, so bringing this back. Who doesn’t love nature’s tricksters?! 🦊

The people’s fox: in medieval tales, Reynard the Fox is a Robin Hood-like trickster who outwitted the clergy and aristocracy in satirical stories.

Reynard crept into epic poetry and religious propaganda. He’s a bit dastardly, but nonetheless good hearted.

Come for the hagstones, stay for the sea folkloric books. And the chaos energy.

Some Selkies draw their roots to Irish/Scottish folklore while some say it came from the Norse & Celtic mythology. They are said to be half-human and half seal.

They can shed their seal skin and transform into humans. They also sing beautifully in the water.

@CarlBovisNature Thank you! I don’t really understand why followers go up and down so radically in this brave new world, any insight? Congrats on 185k, phenomenal!

The Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre was associated with the moon & mythic stories of redemption & resurrection during the turning of winter to spring.

She was a shapeshifter, often depicted with the ears of a hare (her sacred animal)

Oak before ash, in for a splash.
Ash before oak, in for a soak.

This old rhyme that suggests that if oak trees leaf before ash trees, we're in for light rain in the summer, while if the pattern is the other way round we're in for a wet summer.
