#FairyTaleTuesday 🧝‍♂️🏹 #Elfshot "Elfshot In Anglo-Saxon folklore, sudden stabbing pains (like rheumatism or stitches) were blamed on invisible elf-arrows — 'flying venom' shot by elves, Æsir, or hags! From the Lacnunga manuscript's Wið færstice charm: Boil feverfew, red nettle (growing in grain), & waybread (plantain) in butter — a spear-shaped leaf salve by sympathetic magic. Rub on the pain while reciting the charm to drive out the 'little spear'! Out, little spear, if herein you be! #AngloSaxonFolklore #Lacnunga #FairyTaleFlash✨

In #FolkloreSunday tales, elf-shot—arrows fired by mischievous elves caused ailments in livestock and folk. 🧝‍♀️🏹 #ElfShot 🌷 Spring’s renewal often stirred these hidden folk, their shots blamed for sudden maladies as nature awoke. A dance of myth and season’s change! 🌞🌿 🎨 Gisele Sabourin

Elfshot is a condition described in Anglo-Saxon medical texts. 🏹 Believed to be caused by invisible #elves shooting invisible arrows at people or animals (cattle in particular), the symptom is described as sudden shooting pains in a particular area of the body. #FairyTaleTuesday
