To celebrate the folklore of storytelling this #FolkloreThursday, who else recalls Jim Henson's The Storyteller as an iconic part of their childhood? The cadence, the rhythm of the stories was mesmerising. Love John Hurt!
"The best place by the fire was kept for The Storyteller"
Pentamerone or The Tale Of Tales by Giambattista Basile has a frame story of a false bride & 10 female storytellers that are hired to tell a story each over 5 nights (50 in total). The true bride (who has been disguised as a storyteller) is revealed at the end. #FolkloreThursday

When Lorette first started adventuring she hated portals with a burning passion that almost burnd as bright as her devotion to her goddess. (she still hates them the same amount). They used to have to push her in to the portal cuz she hated them so much.

Famed Sōtō Zen poet Dōgen is known for his engimatic yet pragmatic, almost literal poems about nature, existence, and enlightenment, drawing on an understanding of Buddha that is very much with us daily. #FolkloreThursday
💙🌟💙An old English rhyme to be spoken as you see the first star at twilight...
"Star light, star bright,
The first star I've seen tonight.
Would it were that I might
Have the wish I wish tonight."

"A pool was once congealed with frost;
The frogs, in it's deep waters lost,
No longer dared to croak or spring;
But promised, being half asleep,
As very nightingales do sing."
From "The Frogs" by Goethe
Our Frog Prince is very much awake!

Limericks Day at #FolkloreThursday 🧐
A mosquito cried out in pain:
"A chemist has poisoned my brain!"
The cause of its sorrow
was para-dichloro-
diphenyl-trichloroethane.
This week’s @FolkloreThurs theme is fun wordplay —so here is some nonsensical happiness courtesy of the great Edward Lear. I love his self-portrait with his cat! And I’ve never had “gooseberry fool,” but I’m sure my British followers know it well. ☺️📚

#FolkloreThursday It was said that in the early 18th c. fairies tried to carry off Langton House, crying:
Lift one, lift a'
Baith at back and fore wa',
Up and away wi' Langton House,
And set it down in Dogden Moss.

There was an old man of Blackheath
Who sat on his set of false teeth
Said he, with a start
"O Lord, bless my heart"
I have bitten myself underneath
The Book of Good Love (1330), is a masterpiece of Spanish poetry.
It's a pseudo-biographical account of the romantic adventures of Juan Ruiz, Archpriest of Hita. It took him 13 years to complete it.
