In Brazil, we have a saying that goes "Deus ajuda quem cedo madruga" (God helps those who wake up early"), as the hard work will be rightfully rewarded.

The #Wassail Queen on Old Twelfth Night, 17th Jan, was often a child. She would knock on the trunk of the oldest tree in the orchard & ask the fertility spirit within, known as the Apple Tree Man, “to awake”. She then placed cider-soaked bread in its branches. #FolkloreThursday
The theme of today's #FolkloreThursday is work.
Scandinavian folklore has quite a few beings that have been known to help farmers, lumberjacks, hunters and others out during their often arduous and solitary work, but the most beloved is probably the tomte, who look after farms.
This is trasgu. Not goblin, orc or elf; he is Celtic, maybe cousin of leprechaun. Trasgu lives in forests north west of the Iberian Peninsula. He steals, hides & moves things in your home. If you move house, he follows you. Treat him well & he won't prank you. #FolkloreThursday
"The Lion's Share" is a folktale where a jackal, a fox, and a wolf go hunting with a lion, but when it comes to split up their hunt the lion claims the whole thing for himself.
The moral here is "Partnership with the mighty is never trustworthy"

#FolkloreThursday The Fenodree is a Manx Faerie of the brownie type. Known for being a skillful mower, he carries out a variety of tasks. Naked and covered with hair, he was originally a fair courtier cursed with ugliness and hard labor for bad behavior at court.
In many tales, the hero has to do various sorting tasks. In 'Vasalisa the Wise', she needs to pick poppy seeds from the dirt as a way to connect to her instinctual self & learn what it is she really wants, to tell real from fake, nourishment from deprivation. #FolkloreThursday

For the rural poor coffins were made by the local carpenter. They often worked over night to ensure the coffin was ready for the morning. In the fens it was unlucky to be make a coffin at night as it was said to disturb the souls at rest in the churchyard. #FolkloreThursday
🔥⚒️🔥Blacksmiths were believed to wield a powerful magic rooted in their work with fire, iron and horses. An ancient hymn known as 'St Patrick's Breastplate' summons divine protection against "spells of Women, Smiths and Druids".

The Tailor of Gloucester by @beatrixpotter was based on a true incident
A tailor named Pritchard, making a suit for the new mayor, returned to his shop to find the suit finished save for one buttonhole. He encouraged the belief that it was fairy-work. #FolkloreThursday🎨B Potter
