Fáfnir was a greedy #Norse dwarf who killed for a cursed treasure & ring, Andvaranaut. After his murder, Fáfnir ran to the wilderness to hoard his fortune. Turning into a #Dragon, he breathed poison into the land around him so no one could ever go near his gold!

If the #Tanabata #Festival gets rained upon, it is known as "the tears of Orihime & Hikoboshi." For it is said, if rain falls on the "Star-Festival," the magpies cannot form a bridge over the Milky Way & the two lovers must wait another year to see each other. #FolkloreThursday
One of the most bittersweet love stories is #Tanabata. Where "star-crossed" lovers Orihime & Hikoboshi (stars: Vega & Altair) are forced apart & separated by the Milky Way. Only permitted to see each other once a year; #festivals celebrate this annual rendezvous #FolkloreThursday
The original celebration of the vernal/spring equinox was called #Easter, honoring the Germanic goddess Ēostre or Ostara. Goddess of #spring, dawn, renewal & fertility. Often depicted with a #Rabbit-spirit, #eggs & rabbits are sacred to her, as is the full moon. #FolkloreThursday
