#MythologyMonday
Idunna, Norse Goddess of innocence, fertility & death and keeper of the golden apples which the gods ate to keep their youth. Loki arranged for the cretin Thiassi in eagle form to abduct her, but then was forced to get her back, which ended in Thiassi’s death.

The fairy land buys not the child of me.
His mother was a votaress of my order:
And, in the spiced Indian air, by night,
Full often hath she gossip'd by my side.

#FolkloreThursday No self respecting mother in Liverpool will not have & serve her own version of ‘Scouse,’ without first warning her kids “this’ll put hairs on your chest!” Legend says the stew originates from the Norwegian sailors who arrived in the port in the 18th century.

#FolkloreThursday Tanabata is a star festival meaning ‘evening of the 7th.’ It marks the annual meeting on 7th July of the celestial star-crossed lovers, Orihime & Hikoboshi, who, according to Japanese legend, live on opposite sides of the Milky Way & are forbidden from meeting.
#FolkoreThursday
Fairy doors are secret, magical portals leading to the realm of the fairies and out of the human world. Find them in wooded pathways, tangled gardens, knotty trees, gaps in fences or walls, grottoes & caves. If you are lucky to find one peep or enter if you dare.
A big shoutout & thank U from the bottom of my heart @liverpoolmhc who’ve done so much 2 support those in Liverpool living with a breakdown in R mental health & encouraging us 2 engage with the Arts.

#FolkloreThursday
Crones, hags & witches vilified & stereotyped as cruel, evil & wicked in most folklore & fairy tales, were in fact once the spiritual leaders, healers & midwives of their communities. Highly respected & esteemed as imparters of lived knowledge
