@nbunkerauthor Oh thanks for mentioning the Death of Germanicus. The placement of a child at the lower right corner of the picture plane is very similar in both paintings, too.
Lily of the Valley is one of the lilies of #Easter. Originally linked to Ostara, the ancient Germanic goddess of spring, the flower symbolises the arrival of new light & life. Since C15th it has been used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. #FolkloreThursday #Easter2021 Img: CMB
High fantasy is based off of Iron Age Europe as cultures collided during Roman expansion. Picts, Romans, Germanic tribes and the like. Orcs and Barbarians being the Celtic Picts seen by Romans as savage warriors.
Happy #Ostara/#SpringEquinox! #Eostre is the #Germanic #goddess of #dawn who is #celebrated during #Ostara. On the old Germanic #calendar, the equivalent month to #April was called #Ōstarmānod/#Easter-month.

Frau Holle Perchta, new full page stock art.
Based on the Germanic lore. In some descriptions, Perchta has two forms; she may appear as beautiful, or as a hag.
In this piece she is a beautiful woman in the light but you can see her true demonic form in the moonlight and shadow.
“These stories are roughly inspired by Germanic and Nordic history and mythology.”

FRANCE is named after the Franks, the Germanic people that conquered Roman Gaul in the 5th century. Because that made the Franks the only truly free citizens in the region, their name came to be used to mean ‘free’—which is why you talk FRANKLY when free from constraints.
In #NorseMythology, #Skaði is the #jötunn/#Giant and #goddess of #snow and #ice. She is associated with #wolves, #winter, #skiing, #bowhunting and #mountains.

Tonight is #Krampusnacht when, according to Germanic folklore, #Krampus stalks the night to punish naughty children by beating them with birch branches or abducting them from their homes, hurling them in a sack to be tortured or eaten later. I hope you’ve been behaving yourselves
#GothicAdvent Scholars have connected the Yule period to the Wild Hunt (a ghostly procession in the winter sky), the god Odin (who is attested in Germanic areas as leading the Wild Hunt and bears the name Jólnir), and increased supernatural activity. #WyrdWednesday
