Why does the old rhyme tell of 'Gathering nuts in May' when no nuts grow?
It seems to be a corruption of 'knots' of May blossom, gathered to celebrate May-tide.

In #JapaneseFolklore, Kodama are the spirits of trees, similar to dryads of Greek mythology. While they are attached to specific trees, they can also move freely through forests and can appear as glowing orbs of light. They maintain the balance of nature.

A Will-O'-the-Wisp (or "Ignis Fatuus", in Latin) is a being or phenomenon appearing in much of European folklore, especially English. It is a mysterious, floating light that appears in a forest. Some say they lead travelers astray - others, towards safety...#FolkloreThursday
A Leshy is a Slavic forest spirit. He protects the forest & can trick OR help wanderers. In the forest centre they are giants & shrink the further they leave. If 2 leshy meet they will fight for territory. The evidence is in the fallen trees scattered about.

For #FolkloreThursday I wanted to highlight some of my favorite monsters: The Fearsome Critters! They're cryptids that were recorded by American lumberjacks during the 1930s. I made a collage of some of my favorites. I also added Mothman since, to me, he fits alongside them.
No witty caption, just Loretta 🦊

Literary fairy tales often dwelled on food fantasies because famines, & keeping the “wolf from the door,” were worries for centuries. Hansel & Gretel finding the house made of gingerbread was, & is, the stuff of delicious dreams.🧁
