It was once believed that if this plant grew around a home’s entrance or garden, it would bring good luck and protection from evil. It was also regarded as a symbol of fidelity and affection 😊.

Let’s usher in spring with Botticelli’s Primavera, or “Spring,” c. 1470s. Classical figures & plants abound, & at right, we see Zephyrus turn Chloris into Flora, the goddess of spring. Scholars feel the work is laced with Neoplatonist & magical allusions. ☺️🌼

Ireland is redhead land, but they were always suspect. It was said a redheaded woman could bring bad luck to a ship, or seeing one on market day meant no sales. As a redhead, that’s tough luck for me. My family is Irish, so I take it in stride. 😂🍀

Beware the Sirin! Later she became associated with a bird of paradise as she lives close to heaven. Only the lucky faithful and true of heart would notice her, only the happy could hear her song. More Lubok!

Beware of harvesting your fields on a hot day. Lady Midday will emerge from whirling dust clouds in the form of an old hag, a lovely woman, or a young girl, carrying a scythe. If you can't answer her riddles, she'll kill you by beheading or heat stroke.

The Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele tests the generosity of humans by shapeshifting into an old beggar woman or a beautiful young hitchhiker. Those kind enough to help a stranger are rewarded, while those who aren't get their homes or possessions destroyed.

In Galicia it's said that two or more crows walking together announce not only the death of someone, but also the number of priests who will officiate at the burial...

Another omen of death is that the owl sings like the rooster 🦉🐓

We’ve always loved wise owls. Perhaps because they look like sages, or ask “who,” or that the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, always had an owl perched on her shoulder. So when Milne & Shepard created “Owl” in the Pooh books, he was instantly loved. 🦉❤️

In both China and Japan the goose is linked with the moon. It was common for the family of a bride to give a goose as a gift to the groom.

A doodle of my bard Agni.
In the last session, he accidentally made a deal with the archfey of omens and he has yellow eyes. He was in the middle of trying to get over his obsession with superstitions, so I'm excited to see what the deal means.

Let’s talk superstitions.
Magpies in Wales, are seen as either a death omen or a warning for a journey to become hazardous
I will clean up the Welsh in the last panel so it’s a bit more grammatically accurate, but the saying goes if you greet the magpie you can negate the omen.
