#Women in Folklore for #InternationalWomensDay
Kodama are female spirits in Japanese folklore that inhabit trees, similar to the dryads of Greek mythology. They occasionally speak, and can especially be heard when a person dies.

@J_Motoki She was definitely unusual.
I suspect I had known this even before she had first knocked on my door.

Here's how I see the world around me-

#FairyTaleTuesday
This week's theme is love.
I think this image says it all. ❤️

#MythologyMonday
“Every summer the Hopi hold late summer
dances—but not to bring the #rain.
Rains come with or without dances.
The dances are held to welcome the rain”
The indigenous Hopi are located in Arizona & believe the sun, rain, sunshine, and thunder are alive.

Today I am playing around with light and shadow in my sketch.
I love the way the screen light plays here on the faces of my two grandkids.

#FolkloreThursday
Did you know, in 17th C, rural practitioners of folk magic used an ointment that would help them see the Faerie folk?
A blend of several flowers & sunflower oil and left in the sun for three days until thickened.
I think this little lady may have helped them!

#MythologyMonday
#Succulents were called “Thor’s Helper” and were believed to drive off demons and guard homes if planted on roofs. The Romans called them “Beard of Jupiter” and planted them on roofs to guard against lightning.

Trying to do more sketching in 2020...I'd love to say daily sketching-- pretty sure that won't be accurate! 😋
Practicing techniques I don't often use like this #MarkerArt of an old friend of mine, the artist doll.
