In Norse mythology, at one point, Thor disguised himself as the goddess Freya in order to trick the jotuns into giving him back his hammer. Then he killed all the jotuns and went raging back to Asgard in his pretty dress. And thus, cosplay was born! #MythologyMonday

I was surprised, as a child, to learn that many of the fairies from Irish #fairytales look nothing like the lovely sparkly creature on the left, and often resemble demon horses, such as the pooka, or puca, shown on the right. #FairyTaleTuesday https://t.co/XFsSpPRvQV

Hypatia of Alexandria was reputed to be a brilliant teacher of philosophy, astronomer and mathematician, with some indications that she may have understood heliocentrism. Her brutal murder was one of history's tragedies. #WyrdWednesday https://t.co/J4nEQe7HK6

We can't help but adore Jareth, the goblin king from Labyrinth. Though, if I could turn into an owl and fly around, I'd probably find cooler things to do than taunting a whiney teen and stealing a baby. #FairyTaleTuesday https://t.co/6Qk9lltr6t

In the Grimm #fairytale, the 12 Dancing Princesses, the soldier makes himself invisible in order to follow them on their nightly escapades. It's one of my favorite fairy tales! #MythologyMonday

"King Goldenlocks" in Von Schonwerth's #fairytales is one of my favorite fairy tales, and characters. He's got gorgeous hair, gets to fight heroically in a war, pose as a humble gardener and marry the girl of his dreams. #FairyTaleTuesday

Many characters who are cast as villains simply expose the weaknesses in the relationships and values of the heroes in order to sow chaos, such as Eris with the golden apple. #FolkloreThursday
