DreamSwarmさんのイラストまとめ

We've decided that September will mainly be a month of celebrating stories and folklore of the sea.
We'll be posting lots of sea images and links to great artworks, films and stories!

'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

This time it's by William Blake.

I love these images to celebrate #Midsummer and the #SummerSolstice

In Arthurian legends, Arthur becomes King either by pulling a sword from the stone or by being given the sword Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake (art from Archetron) #legendarywednesday

Fees have been paid for lost children's teeth since the 13th century but references to Tooth Fairy may only date back to 1908. In some countries (France, Spain, Belgium) the tooth fairy is believed to be a mouse or rat. @MythologyMonday #mythologymonday art by The Turnip Trucks

In winter #YuleFolklore the Wild Hunt motif provides a spectacular set of ghosts, riding over the countryside stealing souls. In some stories Odin is the leader (leading to some tenuous associations with Santa Claus). Happy Christmas! #GothicAdvent #FaustianFriday @FaustianFriday

The #WinterSolstice is the day when the power of the Holly King of winter begins to weaken to be taken over by the Oak King of summer @EnchantedEzine #fairytaletuesday

There are similarities between winter festivals throughout history. Tenuous links more by accident than design but shared threads of fire, light in the darkness, revelry, tumbling social order and celebrating the returning sun @FolkloreThurs #FolkloreThursday Solstice blessing

Yule is a time filled with frightening folklore- possibly none more scary than some Sami tales of the Stalo, a giant creature who eats people and children. @FaustianFriday #faustianfriday #GothicAdvent

Based on a Ted Hughes story, ‘The Iron Giant’ (Bird 1999) is a lovely story about friendship and taking control of your own destiny to choose peace over war. @WyrdWednesday #wyrdwednesday

In Irish fairytales The Children of Lir were turned into swans by their wicked stepmother. They lived on Lough Deravarragh before eventually going to Tir Na nOg #fairytaletuesday @EnchantedEzine
