In Italian lore, Jan.6th brings La Befana, aka the Christmas #Witch. On the eve of #Epiphany, children await her visit. As she flies around on her broomstick once a year, swooping down chimneys to bring children gifts, much like Santa Claus. #LegendaryWednesday #wyrdwednesday

Ancient Irish #Tradition tells us that burying a potato outside on #NewYear ensures #GoodLuck & fortune, especially from the Fae. But don't ever strain your potatoes over the threshold of a Faerie door, for it will bring eternal bad luck!#LegendaryWednesday #NewYear2023 #TREASURE

The #fairytale that disturbed me the most was Bluebeard. Leaving his new wife alone, he tells her not to open a specific door. When she does, she finds bodies of old wives hanging on the walls! Not able to clean the blood from the key, she reveals her demise! #fairytaletuesday

In Slavic #fairytales Chudo Yudo is a multi-headed dragon who is tasked with being guardian of the #Water of Life & Death. The enchanted waters of death can restore a body in ANY condition & the enchanted waters of life can resurrect the dead! #FairyTaleTuesday

#fairytale The Steadfast Tin Soldier where a one-legged tin soldier falls in #love with a paper ballerina. But the goblin jack-in-the-box makes sure he falls out the window landing in a storm drain & eaten by a fish. The fish is caught & brought back to his love.#FairyTaleTuesday

Japanese fairytale Bunbuku Chagama, where a priest sets a kettle on a temple hearth. The kettle sprouts a head, tail & legs, becoming half-badger/half tea-kettle. It is sold to a peddler who agrees to never put it over hot flames as long as it performs for coin. #FairyTaleTuesday

The #fairytale of Little Sunlight, where a bad fairy curses a new babe to never be awake in sunlight, only in the light of the #moon, the curse made her wane like it too. 'But the bad fairy lived in a horrid mud house, in the middle of a dark swamp.' #FolkloreSunday
