@LoreCatalog @WillowWinsham @MythologyMonday killing a dryad (as happens very often on modern construction sites) is inexcusable...

I've fired up my film scanner...
here's an oldie but goodie from 1995 — somewhere in Ontario on a dark and stormy day...

@SaCha1689 Hemingway's cats...! https://t.co/vzlKGsnYcZ

@CaylahCreations the only (±) issue with real books is enough space and enough good reading light... if you've got them both, they beat the digital inconstancies of e-books by a country mile... not to mention Umberto Eco's take on personal libraries: https://t.co/nl7zBUdSgO

a delightful paper re: the lack of authoritative sources for all sorts of well-known historical gems — I'm researching the source of the historic meme attributed to Jan Hus and-or Jerome of Prague: "Sancta simplicitas!" all in all only a 100 year lacuna

@SaCha1689 this is stuff you can't make up... but, obviously, somebody/some-people did... I never knew there were (presumably white/european) Canadian folktales... I'd love to know the source (thanks, Sarah)...

[kristo @cccmd]

@SaCha1689 a genuine alchemist for sure... and with that sort of sighting, a genuine French Elvis...

[kristo @cccmd]

@FranconianExile thanks for this, Jürgen... as ever, history (and I guess, even folklore) is written by the conquerors... found these extra facts that fit in with my work on Hänsel und Gretel (The Hansel and Gretel Code E.015): https://t.co/lkrKCpFXd7

I just published Episode 15 - both podcast & webpage (with over 250 credit links to all my awesome peanut gallery voices, plus Jürgen Lexow's masterful reading of the German)

@SelineSigil9 @Kate_Dancingcat love this... but doesn't that look like a cat wearing a skeleton mask?

[kristo @cccmd]

@FranconianExile this sounds like Hecate... the reigning spirit of 3 road crossroads...

[kristo @cccmd]

@FranconianExile this sounds like an allegorical challenge for our crazy Zeitgeist...

[kristo @cccmd]

@SaCha1689 this somehow reminds me of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town", which Joseph Campbell said was a re-telling of Finnegan's Wake...

[kristo @cccmd]

@CaylahCreations oh deer, um, dear... hmmmm, deerskin... oh... dear...

[kristo @cccmd]

@FranconianExile not sure what those Eldritch forces exactly are... I'm more attuned to forces Peter Kingsley refers to https://t.co/dPG6TqgsPC
