“There stood a great high hedge, covered with red & fragrant roses. At the very top a single pure white flower shone like a star. The King plucked it & put it on Elisa's breast. She awoke, with peace & happiness in her heart.” The Wild Swans 🦢

#FairyTaleTuesday
There was an Emperor who kept a nightingale in his palace for its song. But, he lost interest, when gifted a bejeweled mechanical bird, that eventually broke. When the Emperor fell ill, the true nightingale sang so beautifully that Death let the Emperor live.
As [the nightingale] sang, the phantoms grew pale, and still more pale, and the blood flowed quicker and quicker through the Emperor's feeble body. Even Death listened, and said, "Go on, little nightingale, go on!"--Hans Christian Andersen, "The Nightingale" #FairyTaleTuesday

#FairyTaleTuesday We're named after the old ballad about scavenger birds planning to eat a knight's corpse. We love ravens, from Odin's pair to the Celtic god Bran, the North American trickster deity to those that 'gronk' in our chimney! https://t.co/OSAPftlDmN #folklore #podcast
Still not very well today but I did manage one new thread. I thought I'd also re-share this old thread that has a small collection of my tweets about #yokai birds in #JapaneseFolklore for today's #FairyTaleTuesday. Also here are some birds in #ukiyoe prints by Utagawa Hiroshige. https://t.co/pwQ2fjZHy1
#FairyTaleTuesday - “I have spent most of my life in the woods, among the flowers, listening for hours to the birds. 🐦
I have learned many lessons, and the greatest of them all is to know how much power there is in little things.”
~ Norse God Frey https://t.co/rnf82pXBTN
In the Princess and the Raven, the raven helps a king who lost his way in the woods in exchange for his daughter.
The king tries to fool the raven with substitutes, but he knows only a princess who will choose to drink out of a golden cup will break his curse.

“April I open my bill
In May I sing night and day
In June I change my tune
In July far far I fly
In August away I must”
The cuckoo is said to begin calling on 14th April in honour of the martyr St. Tiburtius, brother-in-law of St. Cecilia, who died on that day. #FairytaleTuesday

In Greek myth, the owl was symbolic of Athena, goddess of wisdom, intuition and warfare. Owls are regarded as intelligent with excellent hunting skills, mirroring many aspects of Athena.
