#MythologyMonday The Cŵn Annwn are a pack of otherworldy white hounds with red-ears from Welsh myth who can be heard running in the sky. Their growling is loudest when they are at a distance, and grows softer as they draw closer. To hear them is often seen as a death portent.
I don't tend to take many photos as they often don't come out well but had to take one of this polished handaxe which includes a fossil orthocone, an extinct group of squid-like cephalopods

#WyrdWednesday Black Shuck is a huge hound with glowing red-eyes who haunts the fens, lanes and churchyards of East Anglia, and is often viewed as an omen of impending death.

@CeeChampion @ratherarthur @pighilltweets It's brilliant, I had to look up the front cover as well, and now I have another book on my wishlist.
@skippybe Would you settle for a gigantic pelagic crustacean instead? If so the Con Rit's got you covered.

@CeeChampion @pighilltweets The Dorset Ooser, the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance and the Sorcerer of Trois-Frères together have had a huge influence on so much folk horror media.
#FairyTaleTuesday Kamaitachi or sickle weasels are a yōkai from the mountains of central Japan. They ride on chilling mountain whirlwinds and slash people with the sickle-shaped claws on their paws. For some reason you can ward off their attacks by carrying an old calendar.
