In the Princess and the Raven, the raven helps a king who lost his way in the woods in exchange for his daughter.
The king tries to fool the raven with substitutes, but he knows only a princess who will choose to drink out of a golden cup will break his curse.

A Germanic legend states will-o'-the-wisp are the souls of unbaptized children; to free them, one need only throw a handful of consecrated ground at the fiery orbs of light.

The Alkha is a Siberian monster, an enormous dragon-like creature responsible for causing eclipses by trying to eat the sun & moon: look closely & you can see its bite marks on the latter. It also enjoys snacking on human hair. #FolkloreThursday

The Seelie & Unseelie are the light & dark courts of the Fae respectively. Seelie even shares a root with the Scottish word for "happy." But don't let that fool you, the Seelie are just as dangerous as their more overtly destructive counterparts. #FolkloreThursday Art: B. Froud

Have to mention the nail boat for #WyrdWednesday
Naglfar is a battleship to be made of the dead's nail clippings (why Norse funerary rites included trimming the nails as to not provide building material). The ship's completion with Loki as captain is one sign of the end times.

Foxglove gets its name from the legend that the Fae gifted the fox with the blossoms to pad its paws so it would be a more silent hunter. #FairyTaleTuesday

Four-leaf clovers grow where fairies tread...

I'll seek a four-leafed Clover
In all the Fairy dells,
And if I find the charmed leaf,
Oh, how I'll weave my spells!
