Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

It's not been an easy year for everyone. If you're with families or have relatively good days, I'm happy for you.

If you don't feel right, feeling gloomy or down is totally okay. Hit my DM if you want to rant.

Much love. 💚

Between 1920 and 1942, Tolkien kept a yearly tradition of writing letters to his children every Christmas, making them look like they came from a figure called "Father Christmas". He even created his own post stamps and envelopes to make them look real.

Metztli, Aztec deity of the night, is sometimes depicted as the "rabbit of the moon". According to legend, the Sun deities threw a rabbit to the surface of the Moon to diminish its light, since they thought it was inappropriate for them to be equally bright. #MythologyMonday

There are many interesting stories behind translating Tolkien's works. One of such stories that I read for the first time was the translation of The Hobbit into Hawaiian:

"Ka Hopita: a i 'ole, I Laila a Ho'i Hou mai" (The Hobbit: or There and Back Again).

The artwork used for the cover is Tolkien's painting called "The Land of Pohja", the name of a location in Kalevala. This is one of Tolkien's experiments with symbolic, abstract, and imaginative scenes inspired by "strange visions", which he did in around 1911.

Aldar Kose is a famous figure in Kazakhstan folktale, depicted as a sly, clever, mischievous, but kind man. In various stories, he uses his cleverness to outwit greedy and evil Khans, in order to assist the weak and poor people who are made to suffer by them.

Huēhuecoyōtl is the god of mischief, dance, song, and debauchery. Depicted as a dancing coyote, he often pulls benign franks on other gods and humans. He's a generous party-giver, but also known as creator of war simply to relieve his boredom.

A powerful, magical cat "as black as starless night"? Nine black cats and one white cat that uncover people's thoughts and darkest secrets and deliver them to you? I want them to stay with me and be parts of my cottagecore aesthetic!

Cat-related characters in Tolkien legendarium (Tevildo, the early version of Sauron & Queen Beruthiel of Gondor) are described in unsavory manner. Even Tolkien's letter for his fan jokingly described cats as fauna of Mordor, but I think they're cool.
