All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed #FairyTaleTuesday

Trees significant in many mythologies have been given sacred meanings—symbols of the eternal, immortality or fertility. Trees are said to be the homes of tree spirits.The Egyptian Book of the Dead mentions sycamores being where departed souls find peace. #WyrdWednesday #Folklore

In Japanese mythology Ebisu is the god of fishermen, good luck and small children. Born without bones, he was cast into the sea as a child. Miraculously he managed to survive, grow bones and return as a god, later becoming one of the seven lucky gods of Japan.

"Her even lines her steady temper show;
Neat as her dress, and polish'd as her brow;
Strong as her judgment, easy as her air;
Correct though free, and regular though fair:
And the same graces o'er her pen preside
That form her manners and her footsteps guide."

Norse legend says that when Christianity triumphed over paganism, the old gods retreated to the rivers. Aegir was once a kindly god who stilled storms and calmed rough seas, but after being forced to take refuge in the River Trent, he demanded three lives a year #MythologyMonday

In English #folklore the #Owl has a sinister reputation because it was a bird of darkness & associated with death. Many people believed, (and some to this day) that the call of an Owl, or one flying past the window of a sick person, meant imminent death. 🦉 #FairyTaleTuesday

The first sighting of a terrifying Mothman was Nov.12,1966. Five men digging a grave at a cemetery near Clendenin, West Virginia, claimed to have seen a man-like figure fly low over the trees. The harbinger of doom is often described as having red eyes.#cryptid #MythologyMonday

Richard the Lionheart is said to have brought the first swans to England after the Crusade, and for centuries swans have been royal property. A person’s ‘swan song’ - his final work - derives from the belief that a swan will sing only once - just before they die #MythologyMonday

“In the meadow of the valley,
Where wild flowers are roaming free.
There are multitudes of colors
And their backdropp forest greens

Won’t you join me in my meadow?
Let’s delight in all we see.
And frolic in the sunshine,
As our love grows by degrees!” #NationalMeadowsDay

Giants Grave, Heathwaite Fell, Woodland. Apparently there are markings on the underside of the horizontal stone, but it's rather a tight squeeze. Looking at the OS map, there are a number of 'giants graves' around this area.
