🧵January is the season of the witch.

Prior to the Christian church taking over January 6th as Epiphany or 3 Kings night, this was the holy night of Berchta, goddess of winter, witchcraft, and animals.

Some believe #Shakespeare brought a curse upon his own Scottish Play by using authentic spells in the witches’ dialogue. Eerie happenings, including deaths on stage, over the last 400 years mean that now no one says “Macbeth” in a theatre for fear of bad luck. #FairytaleTuesday

Today is the Roman festival of Saturnalia, and as a treat for all my followers I've recorded a Ghost Story for Christmas (appropriately enough, titled 'Saturnalia'...) from my forthcoming new collection of ghost stories, 'Shades of Rome' 👻🎄 https://t.co/DRU0ZnV8Iu (audio only)

Twelfth Night, 5th or 6th January, is a traditional time in the cider-producing counties of England, to “wassail” the apple trees and wish them good health. It is hoped this will bring good luck, and encourage them to produce a plentiful crop in the #NewYear. #FolkloreThursday

Today is Childermas Day, the feast of the Holy Innocents, on the fourth day of Christmas. It's an appropriate day for the Coventry Carol and other medieval lullaby-laments, which give voice to the grief that lies near the heart of the Christmas season: https://t.co/KYr5ltYAe2

Word of the morning is ‘thole’ (14th century): tolerance and forbearance, as towards other people’s feelings and points of view.
