White Buffalo Calf Woman is a sacred figure to the Lakota people. She appeared to them during a famine, bestowed a holy ceremonial pipe, & taught them the Seven Sacred Rites to maintain balance among humans, the natural world, & the wider universe. #FolkloreThursday

New art of Bo's Bachelorette Party commissioned by @ocerydia, Sarha-Solar, @thefrench_kitty and @DalfeusHowler. Girls have the sense of celebration, and with a little bit of alcohol the dancing gets even crazier.

Some Norse magic was gendered. No man was allowed to learn Seidir, women's magic, and no man could become a Volva, a Norse seer. There was one exception to this rule: Odin learned Seidir from Freyja. Odin regularly broke gender rules, ignoring such "sins." #FolkloreThursday
Hoffmann’s “Der Struwwelpeter,” from 1845, is a terrifying, German children’s book. In moralizing tales, children are gravely punished for “bad” deeds —like “shaggy Peter’s” hygiene, & thumb-sucking! 😂Chilling images were burned into kids’ memories forever. 📚

A Cheshire broadside tells how 5 maidservants conjured their future bridegrooms by making a ritual supper.
After reading the Lord’s Prayer backwards the door flew open & 5 ghastly gentlemen sat beside them. One girl apparently died from fright...
