A witch is spotted in the shape of a hare sucking her neighbor's cows dry 🐇
"The hare started off at a brisk pace, squirting up the milk she had sucked from her mouth and nostrils, and the dogs making after her rapidly."

“That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
Oh keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!" (TS. Eliot)

"Then did his animals think the time had come to speak unto him.
“O Zarathustra,” said they, “now hast thou lain thus for seven days with heavy eyes: wilt thou not set thyself again upon thy feet? Step out of thy cave: the world waiteth for thee as a garden"

Dogs scratching holes in the earth was looked upon by country folk as grave digging, & t'was believed that a neighbourhood death would soon follow. So great was the belief in this omen, that many would follow a dog to fill up the holes it had made. #FaustianFriday
In Wales premonitions of death included the Deryn Corph or Corpse Bird which might hover around a house or tap on the window of the room where a sick person lay, it sometimes called out “dewch, dewch!" (Come, come!). #FaustianFriday

Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance
–W B Yeats, The Cat and the Moon.
In one version, the Wolf tricks Little Red Riding Hood into eating and drinking part of her grandmother by preparing it like regular meat and wine in the kitchen. A talking cat warns the girl what she's truly eating, but Red Riding Hood ignores the warning.

“Ulisse non si può circoscrivere, perché è sempre altrove. ..Così corre il rischio fondamentale della natura ermetica: quello di perdersi nelle vertigini dell’aria, come Euforione-Ermes, il figlio di Faust e di Elena nella seconda parte del Faust di Goethe.
