Redheads are this week’s @MythologyMonday theme. As a redhead, I know the lore around us runs the gamut from fiery to coy, from luck to unluck, from Mary Magdalene to the PRB’s thing for us. Being rare means myths abound, but most of us grow to love it. 😉❤️

I always loved the way Baum, in 1900, made Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, a witch who challenged the centuries-old “evil witch” archetype. He was a suffragist, & he made Glinda the Good a brilliant & strong protector over Oz. #FaustianFriday

Charles Dodgson —a maths prof who had a bad stutter—loved logic, wordplay, & syllogisms. In 1865, he put some of his favourite logic riddles into the mouth of the Caterpillar in that famous book he wrote, as Lewis Carroll. 📚💫#FolkloreThursday

Ivan Bilibin’s art for The Little Mermaid, in ‘37, was special. Inspired by Russian & Japanese art, Art Nouveau, & more, he reignited the tale. He died a few years later at the Siege of Leningrad, having starved, & was buried in a mass grave. But his art endures. #MermaidMonday

Dragons have always existed in global, cultural imaginaries for thousands of years. In the late Victorian era, William Morris made ceramic tiles of his favourite kinds of dragons. Which is your fave? ☺️🐉❤️

Locked doors have always been compelling in fairy tales, & finding an old key even more so. Themes of curiosity abound in Bluebeard, & in modern fairy tales, like The Secret Garden. ☺️🗝📚💫

In 1884, Kate Greenaway published “Language of Flowers.” In it she deftly explored & drew floral lore: from a daisy’s innocence to the sense of virtue in a garland of roses. Her art pointed to the Georgian era, but she also hinted at life’s hardships. 🌷#MythologyMonday
