#FaustianFriday In Slavic myth Leshy, tree spirit & forest guardian is a shapeshifter & trickster. He gets his kicks by leading astray unwary travellers, abducting naughty children & babies who are not baptised. Don’t annoy him! If you do, make him laugh to get on his good side.

#FolkloreThursday In Greek mythology the Lotus Eaters are islanders addicted to eating the apathy inducing lotus. They try to entice Odysseus’s men into joining their carefree life by feeding them the fruit, after which they lose all desire to continue their voyage.

In Greek myth the star cluster known as The Pleiades were sisters. 7 in number, 6 are described as visible, and the 7th Merope as invisible. Some say she became invisible from shame, because she had had intercourse with a mortal, Sisyphus, the King of Corinth.
