LILITH
In rabbinic texts Adam's first wife - created his equal - who fled Eden refusing subservience.
Demonised for defying patriarchy.
Vilified for insolent independence.
Feared for her innate feminine power.
So it began.
🎨R. Ferri

The Luck of Eden Hall is a glass goblet supposedly stolen from the fairies. In a revenge curse the fate of the Hall was bound to that of the goblet:
"If this glass should break or fall
Farewell the luck of Eden Hall"
(It's now in the V&A + the Hall demolished)

It is Midsummer's Day and the veil between our world and that of the Fae is thin. Wear flowers in your hair to honour the faeries and gather rosemary, lavender, sage and marigolds to hang above your door for protection and good fortune (🎨Margaret Tarrant) #internationalfairyday

BEEKEEPERS have long believed that care should be taken not to upset or to offend a colony. It is said that bees will not remain with a ill-tempered keeper ... so it is considered extremely bad luck to argue or curse within earshot of hives 🐝 #folklorethursday #bees #apiary
